Just signed up for my third Beachy Head Marathon. Highly recommend. One of the most popular trail marathons in the country. And sausage rolls at one of the checkpoints. Less than 250 places left. Get in there people. It’s a stunning route.

Fuck, that’s rapid! Bloody well done!

Agree. I listen to them in the car on the war to work sometimes. Nearly always sci-fi (for some reason). The Star Wars ones are particularly good. Recommend Darth Plagueis* by James Luceno. Excellent. And the audiobook is read brilliantly by Daniel Davis. *Really it's mostly about Palpatine / Sidious

How you finding it so far? I've got a thing for LONNNNNNNNG books - i actively seek out some books purely because of their length. Seems i'm a bit of a literature size queen. I liked 1Q84. And it got me into Murakami. Although when i took up running i read What I talk About When I Talk About Running. Enjoyed most of his books, but over time it's apparently he writes women not...ideally...and has an apparent fascination with going on about breasts. And cats.

Just finished Tim Marshall's The Power of Geography. Decent follow on to his excellent Prisoners of Geography. ...for anyone out there who's interested in how geography has shaped modern nation states and their historical / political outlook. Easy to read, and he's pretty funny on occasions too.

So rather than giving first timers the usual well intentioned advice / hints / tips, etc, as a seasoned GlastoGoer what did you do that you really wished you hadn’t? (Expecting lots of “saw Coldplay, they were shit”-type stuff...but you know what I mean). I’ll go first: After 10+ Gfestivals never taking a trolley / sack truck I was persuaded one year to do so and take all the booze from the car in in one trip. Horrific. The effort of dragging that thing in on Wednesday morning nearly ruined me for the week. Never again. A gentle early morning re-stock stroll back to the car every time.

So their latest offering will be their last apparently. Might the Eavii try to get them to headline? Would you be arsed if they did / didn't?
