You can get there by taxi from MK central station, this will set you
back 4-5 pounds, from what I can work out for the bus timetables
you should be able to get the 41 leaving the railway station at 0900
or 1100 and arriving near the fields 15mins later or you can get the
33 which leaves the railway station at 1018 and gets to the fields at
1034, costing about a pound, the buses should go through the
village, you should aim to get off them outside Ye Olde Swan pub,
from there go down the slope, you should be able to see some
floodlight towers not very far away, if you go along the path by the
side of the (fenced off) pitches with these towers after 200 metres
and a couple of small bridges the path opens out on to some
pitches (including the ones being used for ultimate) the pavilion
where I imagine everyone will meet will be off to your right.
Please note my personal experience of MK bus services is that
they are atrociously unreliable
