Doesn't a more detailed map usually appear at this time of year? Have I missed it? Does it exist? show us them maps.

There's nothing like watching the smugness drain out of an unprepared friend falling at the first puddle. a dry field never made a skilled camper.

Same here although we do spend a lot of other time up there. Camping in pennard helps

We were there, arrived a few questions in though so we sort of did the quiz in our heads and not on paper

I vaguely remember it being a quiz about Glastonbury, you remember if that was the case last year?

2 previous winners out the game, does sound like right time to clinch a quiz title

Any idea of time? did you win owt? Not that it matters, you won the ability to be smug on a niche online forum.

I was once taken to a quiz in the west Holts bar on a wet Wednesday or Thursday. Does anyone know if this still happens? We've talked about doing it again each year we've gone back but never am have and I can't see anything mentioned on the lineup for the bar.

Yes, yes I would

What are you smoking? What other n festival drops stadium level acts on small stages in the afternoon like it's nothing. We are lucky that GF has the pull to do it. Big killers fan that couldn't get in the field are we?

Traders pay to be there and I'm pretty certain they are oversubscribed. Fewer slots for traders would just exacerbate any GF money issues. Guarantee you there will be just as many food stalls.

From a security standpoint, which I know nothing about, they must rely on the fact they know the reg details of every attendee to ensure people with bad intentions don’t manage to get onto the farm.

Nah just put me out of my misery in the fastest way possible if it’s not on the cards

As it’s the same gate we are going for, honestly take your time. Recline those seats and have a nice old kip. Wake up around 7, that should put you nicely behind us 😉

Anyone in the D gate queue? What’s it like, and by that I mainly mean, how many zig zags u got going on?

Our group is from Kimberley/Eastwood, I know Shipley very well - shitter of a parkrun. many happy memories of American adventure

looked decent to me, although we all know the telly coverage can be very different from the atmosphere in the field.

Somebody with more knowledge than I, please just tell me because our group chat is in tatters; if we arrive at 4am Wednesday morning and join the back of the queue, we will be fine for a spot on pennard hill right?

Appreciate your points but I do disagree on how much can be seen. I saw Adele and killers from various parts of the rear of the field as well as the end of the foo fighters and various other non headliners and just didn’t feel it was much of an issue. I’m sure the stones was worse so I’ll take your word on that. Looked heaving on the telly. As with them being banned you might have a point regarding other festivals, although I do feel the lack of arena searches at glastonbury also play a big part. Very difficult to police that many people in a field without searching on entry. I took a flag for one set (ELO 2016) and the effort of carrying the bloody thing made me realise it’s not worth it.

The Dalston one will be brilliant for me. Yes please if it’s still going? Thanks!

Completely disagree, thought it was w*nk. In fairness it could have either been the raging hangover or the fact they rudely woke me up in my tent in pennard but I remember thinking it was very underwhelming. I strongly remember not being a good state overall that early in the morning

I mean come on, I’ve stood in a wide variety of positions in that field and whilst you might not see what sort of shoes macca has on this is an overreaction no?

Honestly I think the reality is that most people outside of these forums don’t mind a good flag and I am with them. There’s etiquette to adhere to in my opinion including 1 flag per pole but their addition to the atmosphere and assistance in locating friends cannot be disputed.

You and your forcasts were my main concern when I heard long timers had been kicked. extremely relieved they live on.

And right up to stone circle I believe. All the oldest parts of the festival, green fields, west holts, markets and pyramid etc. there must be a map somewhere but I don’t think it covers Pennard hill but could be wrong. there must be a map somewhere in in the depths of the forums.
