Thanks so much <3

approach to Pylle lane was quite straightforward as the drive into the car park.

keep at it those of you still travelling. It'll all be worth it once those tents are up.

The 2am London coach is now within sight of the festival!

[rachel91]

Finally onto Pylle lane. Seems to be moving much better than other roads

[Woffy]

Just posted this elsewhere, but:

Don't give up hope people.

Friends who left Newbury by car at 6pm last night are now on site with tents set up.

Hang in there everyone and good luck.

It's a fucking shambles down there innit?  

[paulmuchmore]

A37 northbound seems to have slowed. 

Brother has got out of car with the tents to walk 5 miles and put them up onsite. Don't know if that's the sensible thing or not, but he's gone for it. 

All alone now, with worthy fm to listen to and A Clash of Kings to read! 

Who knows how long I'll be here. 

That first cider will be even more deserved this year!

How is oxylers looking do you know? That's where were camping if we make it there.

Have been stuck on the A39 in the village of Ashcott for an hour and a half now. M5 was clear all the way down!

Spoke to a local who says he hasn't seen in this bad for 15 years or so.

Stay strong peeps!

 Looking on the web cam I would say about 30% full. Pennards about 75% full

Forever

Boom got pennard hill but was full by about 7am. Just a warning incase any wanted to camp there!

[ManchesterGlasto]

What about Big Ground????

[EamerRed]

This is doing my head in. Been sat on the A37 southbound for hours now and moved about 0.4 of a mile. Hearing of other people who've gone via back roads and are already set up. Stressing ffs

I know we are the same. Thought we were doing the right thing by avoiding back roads - we've been on a37 since 11pm

[al_coholic]

Sorry to say guys but I am looking at the AA travel map for the area and its not getting any better at the moment. If you are north of Shepton Mallett on the A37 then the backroads won't help you much. If you are south of Shepton Mallett heading north towards Pylle Lane then you may get a bit of relief trying to go through Ditcheat, but the buses from Castle Cary are now clogging up that area as well

After I said it slowed in my last post, actually moved about 1.3 miles in the last 30/40 mins. Still a long way to go, but hopefully it's a sign of things getting better on site.

Nice one @Charm ! If you have time can you let us know about driving conditions in the car parks pls?

Conditions walking from car park (pink)were pretty bad, trolleys collapsing everywhere, we came in with just our tents, feel pleased with myself right now, all pitched up and very very happy.
