As we'll be the first on site of our group I end up getting very frustrated waiting for everyone to gradually come throughout the day as I want to go and explore.  I'm usually really drunk  bought time everyones turned up. I can not wait.

Thanks, chilling at the stone circle for the night seems like a plan.

And remember, as its your first time, walk up to the Stone Circle - and don't look round until you reach the top!

[HurrahBrother]

Do it a few times and you develope a ritual.

Tent up
Unpack and sort out
Fetch water
brew up a cuppa
Sit down, turn on the radio and tune it in to the festivals own station, (radio Avalon or what ever it is called this year)
Sit, chill, sup cuppa and soak the atmosphere!

I do not consider myself truely there untill that cuppa is finished.

Then sort day bag out, go for a bimble, meet the neighbours and amble down to the cider bus whilst shopping for a blanket.

I shall walk in through the gate, drop my bags, have a look around and think to myself, "This festival is too commercial"

Inflate self-inflating mattress that no longer self-inflates
Throw sleeping bag on top of said mattress
Tip entire remaining contents of rucksack into tent in a random fashion

Sit on camping chair, enjoy aperitif (or two) of canned G&T.

Basically this... Although it'll be my 4th year, I've still not been up to the Stone Circle   Hoping to head up on Wednesday night... First stop is ALWAYS Pieminister and Brothers bar though ; )

Have got a nice routine going.

Put everything down, open beer, stand there taking it all in, few long sips then put the tent up whilst wife gets the water.

Put the chairs out and another beer to relax from slog of walk from car and watch other people put tents up, talking to those around us.

Have a read of the programme making a note of who seeing knowing it will all go out the window when Friday starts.

PAck the day bag and go for  a wander with a few beers to see if old favourites are there and whats new.

Crack open a beer, wait for my mate to arrive and take him up to the top of The Park to show him the view. I cannot wait!

Bit different for me this year. I moved to the States just after last years Glastonbury. All my mates dont think im going this year so im going to surprise them. Once i get in i will just wander around the site for a few hours with a few beers and give all of my mates a chance to get into the festival. Knowing my luck though they will probably camp in a different area this year.

That is really cool

I love randomly meeting people I know there, but something like that would just be the most amazing thing to happen.  Every glastonbury I think of all the mates I'd love to be there with me, would be brilliant if one popped out of the woodwork like that!

Seems that smoking of any kind is now out of the window for me this year (recovery hit reverse gear end of last week) so it will be munching on a cake, I would imagine, for myself.

Predictably the same as I have done the previous years I've been. Lounge out on the grass (Before it all disappears) right in front of the jazz world slurping bottles of brothers and staring at all the colourful flappy flag poles before passing out.

[4AssedMonkey]

Put up tent
Make my bed
Deep breath
Meet neighbours and have a drink
Wander off in a very random fashion to see what's what.

[purplebridget]

1st year in a caravan so very different to last 21 years of struggling in with ruck sack weighing a tonne! So excited to have such luxury    Will be even better when tickets arrive     putting awning up will be 1st thing we do on arrival I should think
