Oh my god. Last time I checked it said we'd get thunder storms Weds and Thurs and then rain on Saturday and Sunday. This has made my Friday.

As long as we don't get any of these this year I'll be happy!

Looks bloody horrendous

What year was this? Looks cheaper than I've ever seen it at Glastonbury

If I park in the West car parks will I have much of a queue at 9pm Sunday to get out?

Collected my tickets too!! Also my wellies were delivered - or the box was anyway. Wellies have gone missing in transit so I was just delivered an empty (wet) box.

There needs to be a rope going up the hill to The Park so that in muddy years, there's a bit of help to get you up there. Either that or a Sherpa to guide you.
Ski lift???

I've created a very messy pile in the living room of things I need to take. A small reminder to make me smile every time I enter/exit.

As a trainee teacher, future Glastonbury's have been a worry of mine! Has your head let you have the Friday off in the past or is this the first time?
This is the first time but she was really good about it - I've never asked before. I'm already worried to try my luck again next year!

This is particularly true (and nothing to worry about this year..).
I have only stayed in the CV fields and a fair few will head out Sunday night. I tried it one year and we were out on the main road in about 20 minutes.. The drive home was hard though..
Hopefully you will have someone to share the drive with.? That is a tough trip if you have a car full of sleeping pissheads..
There's just 2 of us and we'll share the drive! Thanks :)

As a teacher, I was really worried about Glastonbury. Fortunately my head has allowed me to have Friday off so I can travel down at 3pm on Thurs. Due to this I need to travel back to Yorkshire (4 and a half hours ish) on Sunday night.
What times are best to leave on Sunday and are there any really busy times to avoid?
I'd have thought right after the Sunday headliner finishes would be busy. I would probably be looking at leaving some time between 7pm and 10pm.
Thanks!

Done! Managed to get the Friday off work too, which, as a teacher is no small feat!?

Great perseverance. There goes my afternoon, like.
It's just pure luck. Me and a friend always go and we had just us trying. We both got through (separately, about 10 miles apart) at the same time.

So now I've managed to get tickets for 2019 (yay) I'm a bit worried about getting any time off.
In my previous Glastonburys I've been a student so it was really easy to go for the full Wednesday-Monday but now I'm a teacher and we obviously can't take any time off unless it gets approved by the head. Holidays are usually a no-go.
My head usually gives time off to people for their kids' school plays and sports days and things like that but not for holidays - although she did grant someone a day off for Glastonbury a few years ago as it was for her 40th birthday.
Have any other teachers had success in booking time off for Glastonbury or another festival?
I'd be driving down from Leeds so even if I left Friday straight from work I'd arrive at about 7pm and then wouldn't be back on Monday morning until about 5am dependent on traffic and assuming I left after Sunday's headliner.
Also: Pulling a few sickies isn't an option, colleagues know I love Glastonbury and it will be far too obvious.

Got them! - Glastonbury number 4 and my first since 2014. I'll try for some of you guys!

That's it, it's officially going to be glorious - I've ordered some new sunglasses.
