Nigle:

As usual, our lovely power team will provide power to all our attendees. This guide will tell you how to connect safely.

Power will predominantly be delivered via 16A (Blue IEC60309 "Ceeform") connectors although some 13A UK sockets will be available within datenklos.

We plan our campsites so that no point will be more than 40 metres away from a source of power, but the majority of power extension leads are 25m or shorter, so please aim to arrive early if you really need power, or try and connect via a neighbour.

If you're coming by yourself, bring a good-quality reel-type extension lead (ideally at least 25m) with a 13A or 16A plug. If you're coming as part of a larger village, try to bring enough equipment to safely distribute within your village.

Power requirements in excess of 16A single-phase are subject to special request - please [mailto:contact@emfcamp.org email] us as soon as possible so we can try and sort something out.

== Safety ==

The power network is designed and tested to relevant UK standards. All sockets within the camping area are protected by 30mA RCDs to reduce risk of electrical shock.

You should always make sure that any connections are kept well inside an enclosed area which won't get wet. If you suspect a connection has got wet, please disconnect it yourself or ask for a member of the power team if you don't feel you can.

If it rains, the earth leakage current from a number of slightly damp appliances can add up to enough to trip our larger upstream RCDs, which will inconvenience more people than just you - so please keep try to keep things dry!

== Camper Vans & Caravans ==

As usual, we will provide 1x 16A Ceeform socket in the campervan area for every campervan/caravan ticket sold.

== Electric Vehicles ==
Owing to the increased price of providing electricity at EMF, and the increasing number of electric vehicles, we do not plan to provide generally-available electric vehicle charging at EMF 2022. We ask that you arrive at EMF with enough charge to leave at the end of the event.

We will be able to provide EV charging in an emergency.

Location

Nigle: /* Driving 🚗 */

Electromagnetic Field 2022 will be held at [[Location|Eastnor Castle Deer Park]], located just east of Ledbury, Herefordshire. This is same site that we used in 2018.

== Public transport ==

=== Train 🚂 ===
We are close to '''Ledbury''' station which is around [https://traintimes.org.uk/londonpaddington/ledbury/ three hours] direct from London Paddington (on [https://www.gwr.com/ GWR]) and [https://traintimes.org.uk/birminghamnewstreet/ledbury/ one hour] from Birmingham New Street (on [https://www.westmidlandsrailway.co.uk/ West Midlands Railway]).

Trains are likely to be significantly cheaper is you book an Advance ticket (although these tickets can only be used on the exact train booked).

=== Shuttle Bus 🚌===

We will be running a free shuttle bus service between Ledbury station and the site. Details of this are still TBC.

=== Air ✈️ ===

The closest major airport is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Airport Birmingham ✈(BHX)], which is around [https://traintimes.org.uk/birminghaminternational/ledbury/ 1hr40] by train to Ledbury station; or an hour by road.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Airport Bristol ✈(BRS)] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_Airport Cardiff ✈(CWL)] are around 1hr40 by road, but poorly connected by public transport.

For those travelling long-haul, BHX is likely to be be most useful followed by LHR.

== Driving 🚗 ==

If you plan to drive, you will need to buy a parking ticket (£18) or campervan ticket (£45) available [https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/other here]. Motorcycles do not require a parking ticket. In an attempt to reduce harmful emissions, please consider [[Location/Lift sharing|carpooling]] instead of utilising your own car.

The site is around 13 mins drive from the M50 Junction 2.

Plan your travel to the south gate (adjacent to A438) - postcode '''HR8 1RQ''' should get you there. The entrance to the site is '''52°01'56"N 2°23'01"W''' / '''OS Grid SO 738 372'''.

Once you leave the motorway, follow the yellow AA signs to EMF, ignoring your sat nav which may try to take you through the town.

== Electric Vehicles ==

Due to changes in legislation we can no longer use red diesel in our generators, so we have to use the same heavily taxed diesel as road vehicles. This means that we will probably not be able to offer free charging as we did in 2018, the details of what we will make available (if anything) are still under discussion so please check back later.

As usual, we will provide 1x 16A Ceeform socket in the campervan area for every campervan/caravan ticket sold.

== Electric Vehicles ==

We will provide power for charging electric vehicles in the parking field near the entrance.

Please note that your vehicles will be charged from our (modern, clean) diesel generators - there is still no other economical way of providing power at events like EMF - so please make sure you only charge as much as you need. Due to changes in legislation we can no longer use red diesel in our generators, so we have to use the same heavily taxed diesel as road vehicles.

Our present plans involve providing power either on standard 16A Ceeform connectors or on UK 13A sockets. Add yourself to the [[Power/Electric_Vehicles| EV charging page]] though.
