excellent, thanks. I suppose I'll bring one just encase but mostly rely on hiking poles.

luckily I don't think it's possible for me to be anything other than elated on the farm

Thank you that's extremely useful! Something else I had forgotten to ask - is there anything stopping us from bringing like standing stools with us to shift (the ones you lean back on, so you're still in an upright position) - or are these banned? I'm aware that chairs are not allowed but can't find anything on this sort of gear.

Hello! So I have been lucky enough to secure a place at Oxfam (thanks to my partner's quick fingers - and lack of desire to stand for 8+ hrs at a time). My question is this - I am a big fan of the overnight at glasto. I've been as a punter 3 times and increasingly I've been less interested in what's happening in the daytime - sure, I'm happy to go see the bigger acts or a bit of comedy but ultimately there are maybe 2 or 3 acts in the daytime I'm desperate to see and then more like 10+ at night. Coupled with all the shenanigans in other areas of the festival. So two things: 1. if I sleep all day, party all night, then start a 6am shift, planning to sleep at 2pm, will this is be something I'm pulled up on? I would be absolutely sober by the time I start shift. I don't drink at glasto really at all and rely heavily on my ADHD meds + energy drinks to keep me going. 2. similarly, if I don't re-enter the campsite for over a day and night, will I be pulled up on it, as long as I'm at my shifts? 3. do you consider it likely that there will be people in the opposite boat to me that will be willing to swap 2 - 10pm shifts with overnight ones, or are the overnight ones too brutal? Thank you!!

hi all! do they take google pay if trying to secure a spot on a phone?

Hello! Welcome to my cheeky longshot message. I am huge hippy, believer in the Glastonbury ethos - it's been said that the festival is "my entire personality". Obviously devastated to miss out as a punter for the first time - but also see it as a potential blessing in disguise as I could end up helping out making the event what it is as a volunteer instead. I have exactly 0 personal inroads (I have a very demanding 9-5 that stops me from volunteering) - but the thing I'd be most interested in is litter picking/recycling crew. I know I need to have someone on the inside to recommend me (and obviously I don't expect someone to do that without meeting me first!) SO: if you are a previous volunteer, I would be grateful if you could shoot me a DM and we could potentially set up some kind of zoom/in person meeting to explore the role, my suitability, and if you would be willing to pass over my details.
