Travel
Make sure you know what site you will work at before you leave your home! And also how to get there.
I have arrived at the airport, what do I do next? If you are travelling to Faversham or Sittingbourne then the easiest way is to take the train from Victoria train station (London’s main train station). There are several departures from Victoria to Sittingbourne and Faversham per day. The train journey takes approximately 1 and a half hour. Ensure that you are also sitting in the correct carriages of the train as sometimes the train divides. (see www.nationalrail.co.uk for further information). The campsites are then only a few minutes away by taxi. Please be aware that you have to make your own way to the farm.

Do you have any useful tips? As most seasonal workers will be working in the summer when it becomes very hot, drinking water regularly to prevent dehydration is advisable. Due to the long hours spent in the sun, workers are encouraged to take sun cream with them to work each day and to apply it on a regular basis.
