What in particular is the one thing you're most looking forward to at Glasto 2011 that's keeping you going through the 360 shite days of the year?

I can't wait for the Wednesday, get a pint of Pilton Pop, have a wander round the Greenfields in the evening at sunset, the smells of the various foodstalls, the sound of people happily chatting and having a great time before heading up the Stone Circle to party the night, chinese lanterns floating overhead and the faint sound of drumming in the background.

How about you?

Getting a ticket in the re-sale.

I can't let myself think further than that.

GETTING THERE!

[AdamSheff]

Like it.

The point were your just pitched is a favourite of mine. Youve officially arrived then.

I love having two days before the music kicks off also. Wandering about, everyone you meet is in good spirits.

Better stop as im getting like a 5 year old at xmas

The moment Betty, the gorgeous but slightly tempremental campervan, parks up. We ended up getting pushed the last 200 yards or so last year as her clutch just gave up the ghost.

Once we're there it's all gravy

THIS!

Getting up early on the sunny mornings, laughing at the queue already formed for the showers, making use of the flushing toilets, grabbing some milk and the glasto paper before getting back to the tents with people still sleeping.

[coma girl]

First pint and walk round the site after setting up, sunrise at the stones and showing round two mates that haven't been before.

[LondonTom]

The wander down to the West Holts field for a lovely pint of brothers and then a wander up to the stone circle/flatopia to look at all

[Couchy]

Getting my friends to come & watch Friendly Fires with me & have a dance.

[ukmountie]

I'm taking a newbie this year. I remember my first view from atop the hill of death. Really looking forward to standing back and watching her reaction while she take it all in.

That time of the night when youre walking with a flare towards the stone circle and you can smell the campfires everywhere, hear different music drifting from all over the site and everyone is drunk or high

Like all the years ive been festivals, nothing can deny that moment when your tent is pitched up, you've laid everything out in tent, you've helped everyone else get their tents up, then FINALLY after all the anticipation of waiting for the festival to come round, you are finally there, all ready to crack open that first can to wet the festivals head.

Of course, once that's done, then guess I will just be looking forward to the adventures the next 5 days will bring since this is my first Glasto.

Not seeing a single person without a smile on their face

Friday afternoon at 5pm in front of the Solidarity Bar. Massive giddy grins and frothy cold beer. The anticipation for Elbow and U2 perceptibly fizzing like Dibdabs in the air.

Yep, already massively excited about this. My sister's fella is going to the Elbow gig in Manchester tonight and is meeting the band after, so I've told him to dig for further lineup gossip.

Most looking forward to my sister being at the festival for the first time, and seeing her face when she realises the full scale of the festival. Also looking forward to having 6 days where I can be properly irresponsible, rather than being a responsible parent
