I am getting the coach and driving to Bristol from Plymouth
I have booked a car park space for the duration at the galleries for £16
download just park and it’s on there 🙂

Yes that’s all I can see, I did get Intouch via that page too… but nothing
be a great way to see the site !

Anyone know if the fun run is happening this year? Read it used to happen on the Thursday morning but I usually travel down that day. This year I’m there from the Wednesday so would love to get involved !

I booked a space last weekend from 9am on Tue 21st to 8pm of Monday 27th through the JustPark app for £16!! It's proper parking at the galleries shopping centre as well about 15 minutes walk from Millennium Square pick up point. Bargain....
Thanks for this just booked the same parking
moved down to Plymouth in the winter and I’ve been after somewhere to park in Bristol for when I want to return “up country” or escape on a plane …. This is quite a find for me !!!

I asked several times at bars for water and was refused each time.
Having said that the water points weren't that bad at all.
thats disgusting, no one should be refused tap water
I was obviously lucky I didnt have that problem

Taps aren't readily available, and getting to them surrounded by the mud bath rife with piss wasn't too easy.
Once a day i filled my 6ltr water container and topped up from that, i had no problems and only qued on the first day to do this. Taps are readily available, and bars etc will always give you water

............ what more can we do than give away 10,000 reusable water carriers !
Exactly, i drink as much water at festivals as I do booze these days and just use my refillable bottle, no problems at Kendal nor any other festivals. I rarely buy water, its a waste of money when tap water is readily available if your willing to ask

£2.50 for a can of water is simply unacceptable. Yes, there are free water taps (surrounded by knee deep mud) - however if you're at the main stage how can you justify £2.50 for a can of water?
£5.00 for a bag of ice is also simply unacceptable - people need ice to keep their food cold. Some families cannot afford to bring their Children and pay for the food stalls all weekend so bringing food is very important. How is this morally ok?
The organizers need to put a stop to these companies who try to extract every extra penny from paying customers.
I'd also suggest that rather than have 20 staff at each gate desperate to find a can of beer on someone, why can't they be putting extra woodchip down on dangerous paths? The walk from The Area through to the Holmes campsite was utterly dangerous and I'm surprised we didn't have any reports of broken bones.
I love the festival, but this year the amount of piss throwing, mud kicking and obnoxious kids absolutely ruined it.
Something needs to change before the festival loses it's magic.None of this will change, its the same at every festival in the UK

IDLES absolutely bloody killed it, as always
we watched dream wife - slow thai - IDLES so missed all the rain...brilliant Saturday for us!
I heard the crowd for doves was tiny? not sure why they were headlining anyway tbh , but glad IDLES were in Calling Out for the weather!

- We're all aged around 30 and coming to have a good time but equally we're not 17 anymore. Where's best to camp where we won't disturb those wanting an early night / with families but also not partying all night until 7 AM?
we're of a similar age and mindset and camp in Great Holmes
- Do people take drugs? Is it frowned upon? We smoke a bit of green but don't want to cause offence or ruin other peoples experiences
there isnt as much drug use as at other festivals but we smoke a bit of green and im not aware of it causing offence!
- Any must see / do things?
Hang out in Tims Diner and have some pizza!
- Any other tips? This will be my first non-Glastonbury experience in around 10 years...
its like a mini glastonbury so hopefully it wont disappoint!

Have they given you any idea when they will be sending tickets out?
We have used them in the past without issues, hopefully they'll pull their finger out and get the tickets sent soon.
They said that my tickets were in the post bag ready to go out (last night on phone)
And I've just checked the tracking and it has changed to dispatch -

Must admit, not very impressed with ticketline... don't think i'll be using them again. No reply to emails, no reply to online form, spent 30 mins on hold with them and no answer. Keeping my fingers crossed they arrive soon as we're sending a pair of tickets to friends in Scotland as a wedding present.
I had same problem yesterday. When I did eventually get through to them I asked them why they were so hard to get hold off. They have a festival this weekend and were having a lot of calls regarding that. I will vouch for them as usually I get a reponse within a few hrs from them
-
ticketline have given me two order numbers! one has been 'refunded' the other 'isnt ready for dispatch'. Pretty unnerving, their lines are engaged too! Have emailed them ?
-
anyone found any updated clashfinders? that one above cant be right, the sets go on far too late!
-
im not aware of there being any showers
I take a foldable bucket and even manage to wash my hair
there are a lot of water sources in the campsites including water basins
please dont buy wet wipes they are so so bad for the environment
-
it isnt that bad, most other festivals i have been too have been much longer!

If nothing else you should be able to tie to a zip in some way. Always do this when I travel overseas.
Hadnt thought of zip ties thanks.

There might be minimal mud tomorrow from a bit of a churn so as long as you don't mind getting them a bit dirty they'll be fine.
Then by tomorrow eve/ Thursday it will all be forgotten
definitely don't mind them getting dirty!
F**ck it, ive packed for shoes ill take the shoes, cant be repacking now! Thanks for your words of wisdom!

Wear one, tie the other to your backpack
Unfortunately this new backpack has limited straps and what it has is being used to strap my sleeping bag to it! Ill check again though, good advice ?

A bit squelchy on site from last night's rain and it's overcast so not drying very quickly. Wellies not vital but would be useful initially
This is throwing my packing into disarray , I have re packed 3 times and i just cannot decide on walking boots or walking shoes.
My wellys are staying at home as I'm coming on coach so they'd have had to have goner with my other half in the car on Sunday. (he made that decision for me)boots, shoes, boots, shoes, boots???????

thank you ?

Last run tonight. Hoping for 8 miles.
My most steps in a week despite training and running a few marathons was Glastonbury 2017 with 187,061.
Expecting to break that this week.
your too good. I did a 10km race Sunday and struggled (the humidity wasnt on my side) I decided to knock running on the head until after Glastonbury now..Did yoga yesterday and may go for a swim tonight.. I may also go and paint my nails though ?
wet wipes alternatives?....

I’ve been taking a collapsible bucket to festivals for a few years now
Have a “birdy bath” every day and wash my hair in it. If the weathers good don some swimmers and you can pretty much have a full on wash.
i don’t know why more people don’t do this , makes you feel soooo much better in the mornings then any wet wipe could !
