So that no one misses a single minute of the entire festival experience, the
Rocking the Daisies crew has put together a number of transport options to help everyone make their way to festival in style.
Walk:
See how a simple a change in travel efforts can make a huge difference to our world. 100 select festival-goers will walk along the West Coast to the festival, taking in the signature Cape landscape as part of this eco-initiative run by Culture Talent and
Rocking the Daisies, and sponsored by Fruit and Veg City: Walking the Daisies.
Walking the Daisies has teamed up with GreenPop and the Sunflower Fund this year. Walkers will be asked to each donate R150 that will go towards a tree that will be planted on behalf of each walker, as well as a sunflower bandana as a contribution to the fantastic work done by the Sunflower Fund.
Walking the Daisies applications are open via a Fruit and Veg City
Facebook Tab which hosts a fun and educational nutritional quiz in order to get everyone one step closer to applying for the Walk. Applicants will be rated on their Nutritional IQ and will receive a discount voucher of up to 15% on their next shop at Fruit and Veg City's Food Lover's Market Tokai.
Cycle:
This year, 100 like-minded cycling enthusiasts will set off early on Friday, 5 October and peddle their way to the festival. Due to high demand, the tickets for the Cycle to Daisies adventure have already been sold out.
Carpool:
Rocking the Daisies is working with goCarShare to help people share car journeys. An internationally acclaimed carpooling system, goCarShare offers a great way to save money, help those that need a lift to get together, all the while doing their bit to reduce their carbon emissions.
The Carpool option is built around
Facebook, allowing one to find people who have friends in common and similar interests. "Life's a journey. It's not just about where you want to go, it's how you get there. So if you have an empty seat, or want a lift - share. That's the joy of goCarShare."
Daisy Train from Johannesburg:
Whether one is partying and chatting to your mates or just watching some of the amazingly beautiful country landscapes roll past your window, The Daisy Train gives festival-goers a classic build up to the festival, and makes for an exciting beginning to a weekend that promises a four-day event filled with friends, music, sunshine and general Daisies craziness. The Daisy Train creates an intangible mosaic of memorable moments, experiences and sensations that melt together to form one big happy smile.
As soon as passengers step onto the train, they are transferred to a parallel universe where time, space and real life ceases to exist. A week-long vacation that seems to last forever and yet it’s over in the blink of an eye.
