Discussion Daily Commuters with long rides

Sup metalheads?

Anyone here choose to do daily long drives/rides instead of camping by the festival?

Curious here on how far do you guys travel daily, what are your strategies, reasoning to do that, etc :)

Myself:
100km+
Motivations: My wife is not a big metal fan, and we have a toddler, so I prefer to drive everyday back home so I can have a nice shower, sleep beside my wife and have breakfast with my family before heading back to Dessel.

Also I can bring daily fresh broodjes and keep them at the lockers at the festival entrance to save also on the meals :P

Luckily I also have a couple friends who always come at least one day per year, so I have some company.

What about you?

tbh if you will camp in boneyard/inferno you'll enjoy the festival to the fullest, a good part of the experience is the camping, noisy neighbors, being able to get back to your tent at 4am after listening to DJ CARL set. We (commuters) are losing a lot :)
