Favourite longdrops on site.

[BlackHole2006]

My favourite long drops on the festival site has to be the ones next to West Holts because it means you can listen to a good song or two whilst doing your business. I've had some cracking experiences in there and I'm looking forward to using them again. Second favourite has to be the ones next to the Astrolabe, I would definitely give them a 10/10 for convenience.

Been thinking about this a lot today and I'm curious. What are your favourite long drops on site?

[justperfect]

The ones behind the cider bus. No particular reason I just love being near the cider bus

[deebeedoobee]

The nearest ones

[sheerin_lfc]

Experienced the ones to the right of the John Peel last year, had a great time listening to Fatboy Slim.

9/10, would recommend.

I'm really a compost man myself these days, but have to say I'm sold on the West Holts ones after the recommendation will give them a go this year perhaps. 

I have had to patronise the ones near to the Park and found them most acceptable.

Next to Lulu's Cafe on what is now the main route to JPT.  They used to be very quiet a couple of years ago but they might have been 'discovered' since the move of John Peel.

I love a compost one, I absolutely detest any ones along the railway line, for some reason I get stage fright, the ones in the SE corner are aweful and the ones just outside west holts near to circus , for some reason they feel too public lol

The ones by acoustic are OK though ..

Oh my I cannot believe I have 'favourite' long drops and not somethng I've ever considered before

Another vote for Lulu's longdrops. Camped on Hitchen Hill in 2014 and were great for a quiet, contemplative poo surrounded by the tree's.

I had one of my worst longdrop experiences at the West holts ones, midday in 2010. They were so full, it was SO hot, I was so hungover, it was one of those toilet experiences where you level up and are able to do your business in a whole new range of toilets because it won't match that.

I levelled up again a few years later in corp in Sheffield, I can go anywhere now.

I like the ones near the Astrolabe. Usually clean and quiet. I do have a soft spot for the ones at the bottom of Park Home having used them the most over the years. 

Worst are the West Holts ones or the ones near Williams Green. Always filthy, always a queue. The SE Corner ones are horrendous too, but I'm usually too drunk to care.

[Gnomicide]

Aye. Lulu's caf ones are a thing of joy. Camped in Webb's Ash a few times and they were always in fine condition. 

[cazzatron]

Best are west holts for sure! Worst were near the Pyramid at the bottom of Michael's mead (i think around there). They were carnage haha.

Agreed. One day my SO used these, he said there was shit smeared allover the walls. Why???

Yep, with Dee on this one. I will use whichever ones are there when the time comes.

I'm not precious though, I'll use any loo, I'll even sit on the seat and I'm not scared to look down

Sometimes, while wiping the inevitable piss off the seat, I'll have a nosy down the hole. It's fascinating really.

[Hugh Jass]

I was using the ones next to the old JP three years ago at the precise moment that the lightning storm began. I remember noting that I was basically in a small metal box and thinking "I'm going to die having a poo."

Nothing quite like a morning swim.

[Crazyfool01]

its the ones by the john peel for me too , near where we camp and perfect for me to read the newspaper in surrounded by birdsong in the early mornings , perhaps we need to move the venue for the Efest meet with so many people already there frequently

 

[milly16]

The ones at the far side of the pyramid, next to the BBC camera cherry pick, but then have a panic on that he could zoom straight in whilst i'm in hover position.

Listening to Ace of Spades live was a moment or movement :0)

[crocodiles]

Any that are free at my age 

[tjamest]

Glasto Latino in the morning. God knows what they are like at 05.00, but at about 11.00 they are pristine

[Fishman]

Can't say I have a favourite long-drop, especially now we have the compost ones.

However, I do have a favourite long-drop story. We were at the raised ones along the railway line (never the best) and my mate said it'd be no problem as he'd just do the Asian squat. Now, he was a bit worse for wear and started a wobble but thought nothing of it and just put his arm out and leant forward. As we all know the doors open outwards, so it springs open and out he rolls, arse first, with a full somersault out and into the railings on the raised platform, in full view of a large number of spectators.

Hands down the ones as you come in from Ped gate C, in the T&C fields. Never busy and lots of space.

Although unfortunately I dropped something stashed in my undercrackers in one of them once and don't realise at the time.
