Breezed in. Piece of piss. Let's be having ye worthy. 

[chuckles07]

Just got to bottom of hill and queue 1. Have two and three in sight and then it disappears from view. And bargaining on 3 more queues to go ☺️  The world is fine and dandy.

Nearly at the ice cream van the queue could move a little faster

[Anders Krogh]

Not advocating this but the left lane joins the main lane as we cross the road

[fatyeti24]

Came from pilton side. Arrived 7ish in by 7.30.  Searches minimal

[Franky]

How much further once you cross the road ? I have just crossed it.

I dont think I came from that side. We walked in from the village. Much smaller queues that side. 

[Anders Krogh]

After crossing there was about 100 meters of open space. Then stand still/move 1 meter every, 5 minutes. Can see the sign now 100 m away. Been at stand still since 8 or so. Saw them remove tables a while ago. Either they gave up searching or just moved nearer gate. 

[chuckles07]

Am in q after the ice cream van. Moved forward 100 metres 15 mins ago and now stopped. How are they processing people through security?

[Franky]

Not got there yet moved about 150m after the road. Going downhill and left a bit. Can't see a sign. It's very stop start. 

[chuckles07]

Oh and there are no more people joining the queue behind us. It's as if the car parks are not accepting any more cars - purple that is

We were there !!!! Thought it was for villagers only so walked all the way over to pedestrian gate b !!!

[Franky]

What's the score at the front of Gate B please ? 

[Deadendfriends8]

Re entry queue is supposedly 4 hours. Gotta rejoi the main queue. Does anyone have any evidence against this? 

[Woffy]

We were in at 7am. 

Hoes everyone getting on?

Still in the queue mate. I can see a wig says Gate 2 ???

[Ollie9917]

Is it true that two queues are merging and a surge of each are going in turn?

 

is that why ped gate b is so slow

[Anders Krogh]

Yes 2 queues merging. Once we crossed the road it was an hour. It's not queue all the way, they stagger you. All bags are checked some more than others. Our trolley was allowed to keep it's tape on. Our neighbours arrived hours after us was directed to gate c and was in before us. Oh well we're in now and so will you be soon. Hang in there. 

[JoBalls]

I had the option between PGA and PGD, and asked a steward her recommendation. She said the queue at PGD is about 3 hours.

[Ollie9917]

They are handing out water for people understandably 

[Ommadawn]

Re-entry queue 6 to 7 hours I've been told by the steward manning the exit. Maybe he was just trying to put people off going out.

A friend of mine has just got to the gate after queuing since 4.30am.

[chuckles07]

Gate B not good. Been in the q since 7.30. It's speeded up in last 10 mins. But it's 50 metres an hour stuff earlier. Am still c 150 mt away according to police who are giving out water. Which is very nice but I wish they were running security at the gate. A bit of a low moment. Forgive me. It will be fab v soon......☺️
