I misread this as "Sock Festival" which I concluded would be an awesome idea for a festival.
Unfortunately it appears it's just some shite music festival.

Using the cheapest options as a guide it looks like we can cover travel & tickets for about £105. Only accomodation available seems to be camping so we'd also have to factor in the cost of any equipment needed. | You can pick up a basic tent for about £20. | |

I have far too much time on my hands at work today. Have now managed to source all the gear I'd need for a basic weekend of camping for about £50 including a 4 berth tent.
Quite happy to spend that as it's always handy to have camping gear and I've managed to find pretty good quality stuff on sale/offer. If I went ahead and got that anyone else who was going would only need to make sure they had bedding, etc.

Fuck it. That's me and El Butcho booked up for travel - Daniel, if you end up not going I'm afraid you have lodgers on Thurs 10th due to bus/train timetables (Bryan assured me you'd be cool with it either way). I'll sort the bank transfer for the festival tickets on Monday cos I don't think I can do it online (funny Belgian account numbers & stuff).
Anyone else thinking of going (I can only think of one or two possibles, right enough) would do well do make a decision early - train tickets jumped up £15 a head in the space of a day.
Things to do -
1) Buy wrestling mask.
2) Remember I've just booked tickets to Belgium in a moderately inebriated state.
