Time of arrival when you take the bus from utrecht...10:53

I hate to say it, but the 75 minute wait and the busride might be the best option as Sabine said....
Will you be the only english guy on the coach? Or will there be more visitors for snakeday (that you can follow in a sneaky way )
I'll be doing my best to pick up some essential Dutch from my friends girlfriend before I go ... I still have other languages to fall back on if I get confused. I don't know anyone else that will be travelling my route as yet a Scot on an adventure for sure but I'm pretty handy with a map and a few landmarks. I'm hoping to book the bus seats tomorrow .
