Martin Pearson told me the perfect way to cope at Woodford.

1. Book an air-conditioned motel room 12 months in advance.
2. Stay in said room all day.
2. Come out for evening events, & either stay all night (or go home to air-conditioned room for a nap)
3. Get to the Breakfast session he & John run, then back to air conditoned room.

Sounds ok to me, except it might make for an expensive holiday - airfares & motels & festival, and I might not be able to afford my normal holiday - at the National which I wouldn't miss for quids.
