My friends and I will be arriving at Nowhere festival by car late in the evening on july 2nd. That is, if we can find it. Ofcourse, the instruction booklet has very good instruction with picture reference on how to travel the last 16.2 kilometres, but since it will be dark , I would sure be thankful for some GPS coordinates.

Does anyone know these GPS coordinates?
I'd call someone to launch a signal flare, but those are prohibited, so...

Thanks!

GPS co-ordinates are in the survival guide...

However, we really don't recommend arriving in the dark - the roads as you get to Nowhere are literally dirt roads, and given there has recently been a big storm, there is a good chance they will be muddy and slippery... The very last stretch of road into Nowhere (which everyone travels, regardless of which route you take) can easily trap cars - and if you get stuck, then no one can get in or out!

Importantly, one of the routes (on the back cover of the survival guide) has a particularly steep and windy road that you definitely do not want to drive down in the dark! It's scary enough in daylight, let alone at night! Plus you will miss the spectacular views!

If you definitely have to arrive in the dark, take the route inside the back cover... Better to reconsider arriving in the dark tho... Definitely safer during the day!

Thanks for your quick reply! And sorry for overlooking the GPS coordinates, found 'em! Too bad I can't get them to work in google maps. It puts me south of Candasnos at best. Weird...

Not that it matters. I've seen the picture of that road turned to river. I'm now thinking maybe we should wait until light like you say. I'd really hate to get lost, or worse. We'll be fine in daylight with your picture illustrated guide from Castejon. See you there!

This thread might help - www.goingnowhere.org/en/component/kunena...on-/6384-google-maps

Glad you're thinking about arriving in daylight tho - hopefully it will be dry and the only hazard will be dust when we arrive, but always better to be safe! We arrived during a storm last year and the road in was pretty scary, I definitely don't recommend it!

See you very soon!

The views from the road in are worth seeing in the daylight and it really sets the scene for Nowhere.

I've driven the road in the dark on a new moon. It really depends on how confident a driver you are and what you consider a fun drive. Some people love the road in, others find it a bit of a challenge and doubly so at nighttime.

If your not use to driving on loose gravel at night, then either come the Sariñena route, which is still loose gravel, but much less fun. Or consider waiting till 6:30am when the sun comes up. Which saves putting the tent up in the dark.

Sunset is at 9:30pm and I think it's a full moon which will make it easier.

Dave.
PS It should be dry on Monday, but if not then wet and dark is not a good combination on the road.

Okay, I talked about it with my friends. We're feeling adventurous and gonna see how far we get monday evening. Got exact GPS coordinates and google maps even shows the entire route just fine.

Full moon should help a lot, but it may be cloudy. If the conditions overrule my confidence though, we'll just make a stop for the night and will see you in the morning.
