Yeah they’ve made a new path and it was ridiculously steep especially when going down and turning corners, not sure how it passed safety checks tbh!! I saw a few people lose their footing quite a few times. Thanks a lot for your input, think I might try Sticklinch next time.
I don’t know if relevant to you but I wouldn’t choose sticklinch if you coming by coach or being dropped off. There was no shuttle bus and I bet the walk was super tedious from gate A.

Khruangbin had Leon Bridges on for two songs

Hey guys, would just like to gather some opinions from anyone who has stayed in both Worthy View and sticklinch and if they preferred one over the other etc? I’ve stayed in worthy view both times I’ve been to Glastonbury and I can’t fault it apart from the hill. I don’t think it’s QUITE as bad as people make out but it does make popping back to your tent throughout the day for whatever reason a bit of a trek. I know Sticklinch is still really new (think this was the first year of it????) but was wondering if anyone had stayed in both and which they preferred and for what reasons?
Have stayed in WV many times and Sticklinch this year. I see the infamous steps have gone from WV this year but it’s still a big ass hill! On balance for me I Would go with sticklinch again. Both are a long walk and WV leads you nicely through the greenfields rather than a boring walk through tents but the lack of hill wins it for me. The other/railway line was only 15 min away walk. Real shame there’s no bottom entrance to the Park. Sticklinch is smaller and the queue for the showers seemed much much less. Not impressed with the new loos and the scarce squirty taps but they were probably the same in both. Compost loos made up for it (a bit). Very lucky having both car and bell tent near the entrances.

Agree that he was superb but the crowd seemed disinterested which is a shame

I think the confiscation of crisps was an in-joke with the gate security guards!
I thought so at first but it was confirmed that the owner of Sticklinch farm had lost a cow to a foil packet

A very disposable product aren't they, not very green.
It’s only folded cardboard, no worse than a paper cup (also coated?) and there are plenty of them! You can also get reusable ones but they’re cumbersome at a festival

I really missed the Shepees this year. Made such a difference in previous festivals. I don’t understand why they got rid of them
I agree! They were well used as well. Perhaps because of all the disposable cardboard but it’s not the worst thing to throw away. Squatting frankly involves more undressing/balancing.

Yeah, just my experience is the opposite. If you mean the really thin ones I’d agree, but the one I have is about 5” thick and it’s a dream to sleep on.
Agree mine is 10cm - self inflates in about 15 mins (zero blowing up) and is a dream to sleep on! We use it as a spare bed at home a lot (with the decathlon base)

The Moth cocktails! Amazing. Also berocca boost (with caffeine/guarana not the cheap stuff) is a lifesaver! Stick one in your first bottle of water #newwoman

I was looking at this before Glasto but wasn't sure it was worth the £70. After my hip started playing up at Glasto and seeing your comment I've made up my mind and purchased it for Noisily.
It’s worth every penny! Treat yourself to a decent SIM as well

Also loved this area (new for me too). Had a Dismaland feel I thought!
It did! Discussed this with the hook a duck attendant. We still have a fishfinger in a bag that my son won in Dismaland

Ah, that makes a bit more sense! Although probably not helped by the fact that I honestly don't find them that bad!
Actually have to say that I didn't come across a bad one all weekend. Even the urinals weren't as full of cups as usual. Either people are better or the loo crews were absolutely on fire. Or both.
The ammonia makes my eyes water! They did seem better than usual for a dry year. Sheepee all the way

But every time a woman goes to the toilet it’s longer whereas for men it’s only certain visits 😂
Bring back the wateraid female urinals! The new squats in the stone circle had a longer queue than the composts

Yep. I'm thinking of getting a camp bed as well for next year. I might test it out soon, actually!
Second time using a decathlon air bed, absolute game changer. 10 cm SIM on top.

I try and have a little tidy up in there if I'm honest! I usually use a few tissues to clean the seat as I don't like to hover...if you head in after me, it'll be worth the wait!
Agreed. Definitely don’t hover! This contributes to them being so disgusting.

This confuses me. Are women's noses too delicate for long drops?
The “women” bit relates to the second sentence! Third good for everyone. A peg would also work

This was good. 9/10 for quality. 3/10 for portion size.
It wasnt a bun, it was in a potato cake type of thing wasn't it? Really nice. Just needed to be bigger. Could have eaten 3.
Yes it was a sort of bao bun crossed with a potato cake? Worked well with extra sweet potato fries
-
Best : Persian (peacock?) veggie curry in the park
Holy Cow burger and dirty fries (park)
Venezuelan pulled beef buns and sweet potato fries in West Holts
Duck and chips in west holts
Hawaiian poke with salmon sashimi in WG
cracking nuts ice cream in WG
worst: yorky (rock hard!)
annie Mac (I like my Mac and cheese to stand up on it’s own - too runny)

The Crackling Nuts stall in Williams Green was good, nice ice cream pots.
Meal wise, ended up just choosing the shortest queues when we needed to eat. Only afterwards you reflect and think how chill you were about handing over thirty quid for two burgers and fries ...
Plenty of decent coffee this year too.
This was lovely! I may now always eat caramel ice cream with caramelised cashews as my dessert of choice!

Yeah, loved Metronomy. Really good setlist too.
Metronomy were great, Glass Animals a little disappointing

Agreed. Actually was quite cringe. I don't care if 'that's always been their set-up', it felt like weird half-baked karaoke. If your lyrics are just going to be "I went to the chip shop YOU w*nkER", you might want to balance it out with some actual live musical talent.
I will never forgive them for massacring one of my favourite songs (Don’t Go) without even changing the lyrics (as far as I could tell)
Sticklinch vs Worthy View?

I must have been really unlucky who I went in after then! I thought they really smelled awful in a tiny confined space. Happy with the composts and the breeze!
