Queuing on the A37

[Mezhyp1]

5am and the queueing traffic on the M6 around Walsall is already very bad, take this into account if heading down from the north

Just about to leave Wookey so any advice?

We are been forced into pink car parking 

[Gibbons]

I'm in the west car park now and got some friends in a 3 mile queue to get in to the car park who haven't moved for 20 mins.

I think the problem is the rain from 3:30am has made a few vehicles get stuck - I saw a van and a car get stuck on the way in before it started raining and it'll be a lot worse now.

Crazy traffic jam on the A361 coming from Glastonbury, avoid it if you can, haven't moved for ages.

I think all roads around the site are jammed now, east and west. I'd reconsider leaving now if only travelling a short way.

Am staying in Glastonbury and was just about to leave but looking at Google maps it looks like it's almost backed up through the town itself - that'll take hours to clear and only get worse. May put off trip down the road to Pilton to much later or even tomorrow.

Can anybody advise the actual road you take off the A37 for blue? Ta!

Good idea, it's like a car park here.

Have sat on the A37 just north of Shepton mallet since 8 pm and still not got to shepton yet. Have literally sat still for the last 3 hours and hardly moved since 8. They'd better let us in by the time we do get there. Left home 19 hours ago. I do wonder who they are letting in cos it doesn't seem to be anyone on the a37. Wish I'd got west camper tickets as previous years and we would have been in by midnight!  Cold, tired and Hungry and not impressed with the lack of comms from anyone official.

Is this going to impact coaches and people heading for PGA?

If so, this is one gigantic mess. Perhaps not one of GFL's making initially, but one which seems to have been entirely mismanaged.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think they tend to bring coaches and shuttle buses in on a different road.

As for traffic chaos, it's been a few years now since it's been this bad, but it used to be a pretty regular occurence for folk getting on and offsite.

For some reason Worthy FM just told people to head to the A361, it's mental here, haven't moved for 45mins.

They haven't got a clue! They've been saying all through the night that blue route is moving slowly & to spend the time waiting planning your days. Patronising isn't the word!

We left Glastonbury about 5:20, took a few minutes to get to this spot and have not moved since.

Zoom in on your maps and take the tiny back roads they are so much quicker even if much longer..

Sat in my hotel in Cheddar (Drove down from Aberdeen yesterday....10.5 hours) glad I did now!

we had planned to leave hotel at back of 8 am, but think that might not be a great idea! Will keep my eyes peeled here
