  3. Peeing your pants

    Been close to breaking point a few times while queueing for toilets. Must be a nightmare for people who are not able to use the urinals. I would definitely need to change my drinking habits (and probably should anyway).

    Ground is hard and dry. Depending on volume of rain overnight and tomorrow that could obviously change but I can't see it being welly conditions.  

    Thanks for the info! It looks like it’s going to rain a fair bit tomorrow. Is it all open to the elements and grass underfoot?

    Might have to hideout in a pub for a bit and arrive a bit later in the day.

    Yes it's wrong!  I should really of been trimming our laurel hedge this weekend as it needs to be done.  Fear of pre Glastonbury weekend power tool / back injuries has made me reconsider.

    Best not to cut them during a drought. You’ve done them a favour.

    Tested the set up of my 4 man f&b last night. Dead easy to erect, pack up. Well impressed. 
     

    What I’m not impressed about is my mate’s 3 man I ordered from decathlon eBay on Monday. Still not been dispatched and no answer to my messages. Was supposed to be delivered today. Think a last minute dash to their nearest store in Telford may have to happen on Monday if it’s still not here. Wont be impressed if I have to do that. 

    You could order a backup from the Next website. Next are good with refunds if you end up with two being delivered.

  19. I need a ticket for my mum!

    Unless you’ve got the money for a hospitality ticket, don’t bother.

    There are other ways to get in, but they aren’t guaranteed, and Auntie will probably spend the entire festival worried about being ejected for not having a wristband. The stress really isn’t worth it for Auntie or your Mum.

    You should concentrate on making it a special weekend for your Mum and the rest of your group that have tickets.

    Staff/crew really need to be close to where they work (hospitality can do one). The core Glade crew have been moved out to Pylon this year, some Green fields crew with live in vehicles are going to be put in Bath and West - which is frankly disgusting - they need to be in the Green Fields where they work. 

    Punters don't need to at any specific place at any specific time.

    I’m not crew, but I’m sad to hear this. If the people that make the festival such a great event are slowly being squeezed out it will lose some magic.

    and not sure if this helps, but this is a recent map from the Mendip Council licenceing gubbins showing crew camping, but also lists stages etc:

    linked as the forum doesn't like PDF uploads:

    edit: permissions changed - anyone should be able to open this now 🙂

    Interesting as that shows only half of Pylon is taken up with crew camping. Unfortunately, it’s the East side, but it does suggest it may be possible to walk South from PGA and avoiding a detour past Woodies.
