beckyboo70 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi All We have hired a caravan which will be delivered to the site on the Tuesday. Has anyone have an experience of this, do you know which field its likely to end up in? Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stave_1974 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi beckyboo. If you read the T&C's on the main Glasto site you will find out! If memory serves I think pre delivered go to the west side fields.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckyboo70 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi Thank you, ive searched the website and its not any clearer other than i believe they are delivered to the East! Just wondering how far from the gate i might be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stave_1974 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah, my mistake... They are only accepted in the East.... As to how far from the gate you will be...??? Depends what day you hirer drops it off I suppose... Worst case, you should only be about 15 minute walk from the gate. Best case, you could roll down the HOD...

beckyboo70 Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Its getting back up thats the worry! 15 minutes, thats not bad, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDaze Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Last year i believe that they were to the left of the entry gate in East Campervan Parking (E25 on the map on Info page). the walk isnt so bad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okerich Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I believe e17 is where they are normally are, and delivered on the Wednesday ,we have one booked for then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckyboo70 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Thank you for your response, ive checked and its being deliverer on the Tuesday, not sure what field though . i'll check out E17 on the map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckyboo70 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 thanks Bluedaze, i'd like to be as near poss but thats not really up to me i suppose! i have emailed the caravan folk to see if they can shed some light, thanks everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDaze Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 i have seen them in different fields in previous years, so maybe they are spread about... regardless.. its not a disaster wherever they are... I have taken an interest because i may consider this option when the dreaded 'damp' finally puts paid to mine.. are they expensive for the week.?

It is quite a schlep i suppose.. but it will be dry and sunny this year so no worries... that sounds a decent price tbh.. Hiring a campervan woud cost twice that and you have the cost of fuel (and stress) of driving it there. they usually have an awning set up etc.. so it looks a good option.

Turn up on tuesday with your picnic chairs, portable bbq and a cold box full of goodies and it is a great way to ease yourself into the festival.. i still love standing at the top of the Hill of Death at dusk on Tuesday, looking down on the site before the madness begins.. it is quite serene (the calm before the storm). Print out the map and take a pair of binocularsand pick out the landmarks and what may have changed since last year.... We have arrived on Tuesday lunchtime the last couple of years. Have a bbq and a few beers, meet the neighbours..wednesday afternoon you can go and walk around the festival to get yourself orientated.. a couple of bars will be open.. cannot wait. You will love it ! Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J1990 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Can you drive your car in and park next to your pre-delivered caravan if you are turning up after it has been delivered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDaze Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Can you drive your car in and park next to your pre-delivered caravan if you are turning up after it has been delivered? I believe so... i would make the assumption that you should turn up at the gate with all your relevant booking info and also have to buy a Campervan fields pass as well(?) But check this with the company that you made your booking with and then double check with Glasto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckyboo70 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Can you drive your car in and park next to your pre-delivered caravan if you are turning up after it has been delivered? Yes, you just park right next to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDaze Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yes, you just park right next to it I thought so, Beckyboo.. and do you have to spend £90 on a Campervan field pass next week..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckyboo70 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I thought so, Beckyboo.. and do you have to spend £90 on a Campervan field pass next week..?? Yep, paying at 9am on wednesday to hopefully ensure i get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okerich Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi we have ordered a pre delivered caravan and was considering an awning but thought it was a bit pricey do you know if we don't go for that option there might still be room to put up a gazebo next to the caravan ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers From what i have read i think a gazebo will be fine, its probably about the same size an a full awning, im considering that also, with a couple of wind breaks, i dont want to be cooped up in an awning i'd like to see what going on around me but also be sheltered if god forbid it rains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
