Usually Reading, or Slough. I don't go via PAddington as hassle.
When I wild camp I've always (twice!) done it outside the hall as the timings work better, and I don't need to allow a buffer to get there afterwards. Go round the back and no-one else sees you. Depends on the hall of course.

Yeah, cheers. I think that's what I'll start looking at doing.
Good shout re: the hall. Plus if anyone asks, you're there for a legit event!
I was just thinking of doing the trip in two parts but it does make sense to get it over and done with on the Friday night rather than introducing the hassle of a ride to the start.
hippy
Which station would you go through to get to those? Like, do you train Ealing -> Reading first? Many of the Reading trains don't stop at Ealing or go to Paddington and then back out, but providing you time it ok, and maybe ask organisers for a later start they might work.
Could do part of it on a Friday night carrying camp kit and then wild camp out west but even that seems quite fiddly and requires finding a decent spot, which is shit in England because of the laws. It's one thing for me to sleep in a bivvy bag in a carpark but don't know if the missus is going to be up for that nonsense.
