What have you done to get ready for Glastonbury 2015?

[karaseen]

My first two years at Glasto were in a mates 1970's VW Camper Van , but I did not enjoy it so decided to camp and have done so for the last 10.

Obviously being in the camper van field will suit some people , but you are outside of the main site and you have the walk in and out every time

I guess what annoyed me was being told that we would nip back to the van for a coffee , smoke and put feet up for a bit before heading back in , only to find out that the inevitable would be an early ish night. It got to the point where I did not bother going back and just stopped out.

I have friends who are in the CV field every year and it suits them, but I would always camp "smell the fear" as they say.

Good advice, thanks. There would be 8 of us so it would be crowded and I wouldn't wait around for them anyhow. If it was bad I might just sleep in one of my friend's tents who camp in the dairy field.

TBH it was the showers and the fact that you can set up on the Tuesday that appealed.

I forget about the TFA ( too much F*****G around ) on a morning - that drove me mad , but what can you do ? . In Big Gound we sort ourselves out on a morning, but in the camper van field

i hung around for the others and the guys whose camper van it was always liked an extra coffee and a smoke before eventually sorting his s**t out and us all ambling in . But you are responsible for yourself and that is why i only did two years in a van before bailing out.

I do think it will depend on the group you are with . The only thing you must be aware is if you want a late night on site and you nip back to the van for a bit of a rest and a coffee chances are you may not make it back out. When you are tucked up in the van the walk back in to Arcadia seems very long !

I had my cousin wedding this year on the sat.... Glasto won, my excuse was I brought tickets before I knew of the wedding

glastonbury was the worthy victor in my case also!

[FuzzyDunlop]

Our work holiday allowance was released today. Its a bunfight which isnt as stressful as t-day, but if I say June 2015 is already booked. You get the idea!

The time was released at 11:30. By 11:31 I had glastonbury booked off .....

TDay better be a good one!

I’m trying to make a friend, so I can then ask them to come with me to Glastonbury.

You're going to need plenty of super glue, some sticky backed plastic and some sheets of fuzzy felt in order to make one that's fitting and will survive the 5 days. A bit of bunting too would be a bonus.

[SeaShells]

Still not cleared away this years Glastonbury stuff from out of my spare room. May as well just keep it out for next year. Here's hoping I get a ticket!

[miniand]

Started putting some cash away, 2 to 1, 2 for Glasto 1 for a trip to the Dam, it's been a while... Mother wants a new bathroom fitted so I've made a deal for up to £600 for a bell tent as my cheap arse nylon piece of crap gave up at a festival after Glasto this year

[kalifire]

Finally cleaned my walking boots and washed my sleeping bag from 2014. I know, I know. I'm a dirty get.

The Superlites look almost new. What an amazing pair of boots.

Mine feel like slippers they are that comfortable.

[dixietheduck]

Started to look into flights and hotels. Found an amazingly cheap flight with perfect dates and times but don't have the guts to book until I have a ticket secured, by which time I'm sure the great deal will be gone. Aaaaargh!

[morph100]

Sorted out my ticket buying groups so everyone knows who to try for and then which groups try for which others if successful, its a complicated algorithm which involves people being in multiple groups but should maximise potential!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Ticket buying groups getting sorted out today.

In stark contrast to elsewhere, people who were previously voting No have decided on a last minute swing to Yes.

[carlosj]

Buying some better ponchos, obviously just to sit on, in the glorious sunshine, eating fish curry.

[Padgey]

My preparation has been trying to keep as quiet as possible on social networks about ticket sales so less people know giving me more chance of getting them. No doubt Radio 1 will mess that up for me over the next couple of weeks.

On Tuesday evening I'm heading down under to Melbourne, and the next time I'll be in the UK (back at Frome) will be the Sunday before those magical days. So this afternoon I've dug out my backpack and made sure the essentials are covered. The walking boots and muck boots are washed and ready, sleeping back checked for rips and all that's left is to top up on the accessories (travel johns, alcohol etc.) which I'll do online for UK delivery closer to the day. It feels odd being so excited for June in January, but knowing the next time I'll be here will be hours away has me exhilarated.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I've been having a real resurgence of excitement since I got my holiday approved. So yeah I've done that!

[TomViolence]

Same her ZMG! Managed to get both of the Tuesday's (before + after) off

[ian the worm]

Yay, missed this thread!!!!

1) Today I found and am watching an item on eBay that I think will improve things for the me and the crew at Glasto.

2) Looked at my walking boots and decided they'll do until at least the fallow.

3) Arranged my wardrobe so all my costumes are together.

4) Re-watched my 2011 bimble video.

5) Continued to bombard my new desk neighbour at [normal] work (who has the option to [Glastonbury] work) with online evidence that Glasto is not to be missed.

Same old really.

Have a great time Kali! How very very exciting, see you in June (but obviously before on here)

I'm thinking of writing a list... is it too early for a list?

Also put some money aside for my ticket in April as I've got a lot to pay for I don't want to be caught short later in the year.

It's never too early for a list.
