It’s relatively high but pales in comparison to where you are now. You’re right about the winter though. Properly cold, with the majority of houses/units incapable of properly dealing with it (or the summer for that matter).
Enjoy the lakes. I’m over the travel exhaustion now so quite jealous. Currently trying to keep my head down and be a little financially responsible, before ticket day approaches. I intend to try for 2023 because I hope Elton and Taylor will be there. I don’t have any plans to go in 2024 though. Can’t attend every year from 10k miles away.
Hey Kalfire,
Glad hear you're back and recovered.
How did you rate this year's festival?
I'm dreading the flight back.
If Elton is playing I'll do everything possible to come back.
At this stage, finances are pretty well dedicated to (a) survival and (b) funding Glastonbury trips.
Could be worse!
Weather in Keswick this week 23-27 degrees -
Luxury!

I'm still in the UK (in the Lakes actually) as we're on a long break. Happy to be avoiding the Melbourne winter and accompanying surge in Covid which is brutal according to friends and family.
Will be heading home soon, now we've run out of money.

Be nice to hear a little bit more from Thom Yorke.He let's the music do the talking, but a bit of a chat would be nice
Macca got it right. Felt like he was chatting to you in the corner of a pub.

Apart from a Kedegree I didnt eat one thing on my list this year due to queues.
I waited it out in the Goan Fish curry queue twice. But with their proximity to West Holts it really isn't much of a sacrifice.

Warmer sleeping bag next time. The standard issue was just not up to it.Worthy View is at least a couple of degrees colder when you get up there at night

Voted Pyramid Sub ,
Wolf Alice was 4th down on Pyramid this year and would have easily been Other Headliner.

Strange one for us, my son's girlfriend had her passport, phone and wallet stolen from Pennards.
She was understandably gutted.
Reported the theft with lost property and the police.
Next day the passport turned up with empty purse, credit cards in tact but no cash.
On the Tuesday afterwards my son gets a text from the thief, to say he will post the phone to wherever they want.
My son gives the Australian address, and asks why he is doing this?
The thief replies, that he could see from the photos on the phone that they were just youngsters and didn't want to destroy their whole holiday!
A thief with a conscience?!
I guess we had our faith partially restored.

1. Not getting up to see Kikagaku Moyo
2. Seeing Kendrick instead of Bicep - decided to stay with the group rather than see the artist I preferred. So in that sense I don't regret the trade off. Just can't get on Kendrick's wavelength.

Macca followed by Radiohead then daylight to anyone else.
(I missed the Stones)

I like the formula that
Luck = opportunity + preparation
The more we prepare and get organised the luckier we get.

Hello International Contingent!
How are we doing? Are we home safe (or extending our holiday away from home safe?
Are we all asking seetickets to pay us back our unused parking tickets?
I think I read someone managed to park close to Ped Gate A? Was that luck or were there more of you?
How do we convince GL to organise things differently next year?
Currently in Porto, recovering slowly.
Beautiful city

I thought I’d be really emotional before Macca but actually I was just super hyped and buzzing when he actually came on. Although I did start properly crying at Golden Slumbers and never really stopped after that. Watching it back, Blackbird has got me the most so far (haven’t rewatched in full though).
Occasionally I’d have this sudden realisation that I was watching ACTUAL PAUL MCCARTNEY FROM THE BEATLES and I couldn’t get my head round it. His music has been such a constant in my lifeI feel simultaneously so privileged to have seen him do that gig, and also sad that it’s probably the last time I’ll see him. I can’t let myself think about a time when he’s not around anymore.
That last part is the one that has got me going.
Sort of end of an era vibe.
What do we do when Macca, David Attenborough and the Queen pass on?

Back to if you caught it or not ….
Well I've caught something.
Very tired today, headaches and jaw aching (although that may be self induced)

To the bloke who everyday cleans up around the tree at the stone circle. (Not a registered volunteer), who pointed out the huge owl on the branch above us.

I never start threads as I'm usually too shy.
I'm really struggling this morning, and I'm sure it's part of the post festival blues, but I'm interested in other people's experiences.
Paul McCartney did something to me on Saturday night, and I haven't been quite the same ever since.
When he played that Wings classic Let Me Roll it To You, (my heart is like a wheel , let me roll it baby), something opened up in me after all this COVID period, and today I just keep feeling emotional , about the state of the world, about my kids, my family, and about Sir Paul himself.
Anyway, sorry for the rant, thought it was easier to put in some words to you good folk on efest today than keep on pretending I have just got terrible case of hayfever and that's why my eyes are watering
Anyone else got something like this happening?

The first timers in my group said it was a peak experience.
I warned them it will ruin them for all other festivals.
-
I give it a 4/5
A few more food options as the lines were very long in the morning,
The Belgian Waffle place was missed as was the view.
But the toilets/ showers and the quiet over in block A was terrific.
And also, the obvious inclusion of a camp store finally happened.
We were set up with mattresses and sleeping bags within a few minutes

1st Sir Paul an avatar of music

Paul's solo guitar playing in the Hendrix Tribute was so good.
Now goes down as the greatest set I've ever seen.
Springsteen and Grohl looked sheepish up there with the great man
I thought 1985 smoked and everything worked on the night, even the Johnny Depp / Natalie Portman thing.
What a legend.
Even his patter:
" ...and Eric said, No, tune it yourself"
Felt like he was talking to you in the corner of a pub.

Crowd interaction from artists

Posted
My favourite crowd interaction this year was from Joe Talbot.
Calmly and with total authority parted the packed crowd on the Other stage and instructed us to run at each other with love!
