OK just spoke to one of the stewards. We're currently 200 meters from security check point, no more searches tonight. He reckoned there's about 1000 punters in the holding pen (already searched). Told us we won't move till 8 or just before. 

Yeah we're some of the punters in the holding pen. All chill.

Holding pens..... Queues... Security..

 

Welcome to glastonbury...

Gates supposedly opening at 7 

[Franky]

How many people at B please ?  

[Anders Krogh]

The section before security check is full, 3-400 meters. They have lined people up in the car park. At the moment 100-200 meters long. I would get down here quick if you can. 

[Deadendfriends8]

It's 3am and I'm shitfaced.... GLASTOOOO

[TomByTheThames]

Aimed for gate B, due to car park have ended up at gate C, much longer queue than expected.

How did that happen ? Brown route, purple parking only mins away and really need Gate B

I'll be coming for South Wales and usually end up at B...is there any way to sort of ensure I do?

Got a bit lost then and when re-routing had a steward direct us in. Bloody huge walk to gate as well

[H.M.V]

Any news from down there? 

[Franky]

So, finally made it to Gate B ! Red chair and Superman tee shirt if anyone want a chat

half way up a hill  the queues as expected are much larger than normal as the advice had the opposite affect and everyone turned up early. 

The first few thousand people in the queue have already been searched but I am 15 mins walk away from the actual gate without a queue. 

Now to sit and wait  

[Mrsdgrohl]

Sat in holding pen, gates to open at 7. Security checks all fairly standard!

With at least an hour and a half to go? Ugh. Everyone's chill in the PGD pen.

We were so chill 

 

[kalifire]

Can't imagine people will stand for long if you're not moving. 

[K2SO]

He just came along waking everyone up, and we're not even moving. What a helmet.

[lingle]

Looks like they are moving us in the searched holding area forward to gate soon. Then search those across the road and move them into holding area. Fingers crossed for 7am gates! 

[Franky]

From the top of this fuck off hill ! Just above the farm I think. I thought I could see people moving in the next section ? Got no idea if that's the holding pen or not though  

[Anders Krogh]

The section just before security just 'stood up', no more movement after that.
