I got a taxi to Bristol bus station, then a National Express direct to Gatwick. Wasn't cheap, but very convenient. Plus! They have TV and really comfy seats, so you get a few hours to relax before you get to your hotel and into the books. I think (?) was about £30 one way, plus about £20 for the taxi.

You can take a service bus from Cheddar to Bristol, but by the time you haul your cases around, you may as splash out on a taxi.

If you hit lucky you may be able to score a lift to BGS with someone. So hold off buying your tickets until you get to Bristol and see whats going on.

First step: How about turning off the caps lock?

Second: Follow geordiejet's advice!

Club together and hire a car! Will work out cheaper if there are 4 of you travelling!

Mate, when I was there, a long time ago, I gave lifts to three people on both of my sittings, you will generally find there is someone who can help. Why don't you post on the BGS Forum?
