Every year just before I leave for Glastonbury I always seem to get very nervous. I think this year it's due to the fact that I'm unheathily excited and I'm slightly worried that it wont live up to my expectations (which it always does and then some :-) )

Does anyone suffer from nerves?

Im nervous about catching our trains , me and my friend have the worry of perhaps missing the one we intend to get tmoro morning.

i'm bricking it....only got 15 miles to come but i've got problems with the camper that put some doubt on whether we'll get there ok....i'm so paranoid about it i've been out on 2 different trips over the last 3 days to simply rack up miles to give some confidence that we'll get there ok...

Top post, I have been nervous for a few days now, waking really early i.e. before 6am and thinking about Glasto non stop, things like will we be camping next to some nice people, will the weather be not too bad, etc etc.

Feeling slightly better tonight but have had a bit to drink

Enjoy

I'm nervous about whether the group I'm with will get on well this time around. Hopefully everything should go swimmingly but you never know..

I thought it was just me - I was only thinking how disasterous it would be if my campervan broke down. Hmmm cant wait to get there and get rid of all these butterflies

I always get a bit nervous, I think it's the public transport!

Ah yes, that's the remedy, I'll just fetch a glass.

Incredibly nervous.  And I should be in bed ready for an early get-up, but far too nervous.  And not even doing anything particularly useful with my wide-awake jittery self, just playing around seeing who's posting what!

Theres about 30 of us this year. It always seems to make sense in the end - even when people don't get on in normal life they 'love' each other in Glasto.

First one so I'm REALLY nervous, even though I've done festivals already.

I dunno what it is that's making me nervous though! At least you have excuses like public transport and stuff.

I'm just nervous about forgetting stuff cos I haven't really started packing my stuff away, I have gathered 90% of it but I need to arrange it into two bags. I leave in 10 hours :S

I hope so, don't really want them to murder each other, might put a dampner on it all..

I'm sure a bit of pear cider will be enough to bond the group

30?! Christ, at least you'll never run out of conversation!

[emma/lee]

im nervous about our car actually making it, and hoping we camp by some nice people!

Yeah, the number seems to be growing exponentially  

Its funny that I not nervous about this. Its quite nice having lots of regular faces around. Most people will venture off, and you will all meet back at camp. Feels kind of like a school trip. There were 14 of us last year - and that worked fine. Even though 2 people officially hated each other in 'the real world'.

It'll be fine, you'll probably meet some lovely people, just go in with an open mind and all shall be marvellous.
