I love all the posts from people travelling or at least preparing to travel to @emf in my timeline.
In less than 48h I'll join them. :)
Travel preparation status: I forgot to activate the out of office notification. But I finally have a tent AND a backpack. There's even some chance I'll manage to pack my stuff before I have to catch the first train in the morning. Oof. ๐Ÿ˜…
There's still some time to procrastinate packing camping stuff... right? ๐Ÿค”
Aaaand off we go!
Looking forward to finding out what I forgot to pack
eep! on the train

Very much on brand... The Eurostar terminal has its own border fence
โœ… Train 5/7 to EMF
Aaaand a short detour with the tube before we have to catch the next train.
Thanks @vagina_museum, the "Museum of Mankind" exhibition was really funny! Now, let's get back on track.
โœ… Train 6/7 to EMF
From the train I saw many puddles in the fields... I guess this year EMF stands for Extra Muddy Field?
โœ… Train 7/7 to EMF
Spending some time in the Ledbury Tesco parking lot before getting a shuttle to the camp site is definitely an important part of the EMF experience. :D
So that's how the ducks were delivered to #emf2024
#emf2024 is amazing, you spend 2h putting up chairs at Stage A and everything looks different. It's a proper camp now. :O
Are the people who volunteer called "Voluntier"? ๐Ÿค”

Sooo I heard the people at #emfcamp like camping? Luckily there's @hackmas taking place in August in Austria!

Just helped build up some small parts of nullsector... It looks amazing this year. ๐Ÿ‘€

I returned a big potato and won a small one!  
#emf2024 #emfcamp
Well, that was fun! Found 75 out of 87 of the gchq.net tokens today. Will try to find the remaining ones tomorrow. ๐Ÿ‘€
#emf2024 #emfcamp
86 out of 88. And I think I have an idea where the remaining 2 could be. Now I need to finish this!
#emfcamp #emf2024
87 out of 88 and second place on the leaderboard. As the sun is setting, I guess that's it. The gchq.net game took me places I otherwise wouldn't have discovered. Would definitely play again, this was great fun. :)

Hey everyone, our bus arrived!
Oh, I still have photos from #emf2024 I wanted to share. People brought sooo many funny, hacky, cool builds.

Speedy tren did its job, I'm back in Europe. Now I have about 45 minutes to catch my Nightjet to Vienna. Whoop whoop
But also... How complicated can travelling by train be?
Eurostar: Yes!

@ripper "just" the usual "long queue and the terminal is to small for the throughput of people" problems or did they mess up especially?

On my way in they were running 20mins late because of people not getting checked quickly enough, and the train was maaaaybe half full...

@HeNeArXn yeah, just the usual stuff of making the train like a plane with the requirement of being at the station long before departure and so on...
