gorfield, I would go with your 3-wheeler Pram, We bring a bigger version of yours every year (even though the kids are now 10 and 12 and don't use it as much) as....
- it's wheels are ideal for the terrain
- it's light & easy to push around
- kids can sit/rest when they need to
- it can carry food/water/rain-gear/beers etc around site

Don't think we'll need to worry too much over the 5 days at Glasto,
although, there were times in the Sacred Space when it seemed I had spent 100 years staring at the one cloud......

Today just got a whole lot brighter as I signed for that envelope.....

You should change the title of this thread, "nearly gave me a heart attack"....

I'll be there...

I'll be checking in on Halvin regularly to see how he's getting on with this years Clashfinder.
"Yer only man" when it comes to scheduling................
-
The car parks will be open. If you're up for it, we've crashed there on the Tuesday night and been up nice and early in the morning for the queues.....
-
That's brilliant! Do most people just take a backpack about with them to carry their drink? When I've been to festivals before I've spent a fortune getting drinks from the bars all weekend!

From a "Magic" point of view, the Avalon can be massive sometimes....

Apparently this rumour is the result of a typo. ABC are headlining, not AC/DC, but don't despair; you can return your tickets by just not paying the balance. I'm sure the festival will manage to find some schmuck who didn't manage to get a ticket last week (sob) who'll take it in April so no need to feel guilty!
AC/DC are playing a massive free gig in London on either the Friday, Saturday or Sunday of Glastonbury (they haven't decided which but will announce it the day after the Glasto ticket re-sale) and I know this is true because I bumped into Angus Steakhouse from the band and he told me himself.

We have usually driven. It's better if kids are involved. Load up with all the necessary junk etc...
We book a travel lodge halfway through Wales on the Monday. Breaks the journey and a chance for showers/sleep etc.
Ferry Tues morning nice and fresh.
That's all the easy part, it's getting the tickets on Sunday that's the problem, didn't work out that way last year

Joined. Thanks Claire. Now fingers crossed. I assume you're all doing as I am and randomly refreshing the see tickets page? Is there a hashtags we could follow on twitter as well? As well as following Emily Eavis & glastofest)

very "down" today but gotta stay positive. Fat laty singing and all that.... Best we can do is keep each other in the loop if any "unscheduled" resale happens. Otherwise it's the same effert again in April.
For notification purposes, maybe we could share the load. An email group set up by someone with their "ear to the ground" should be easy enough.
A text group could be more expensive, depending on numbers of peeps. However, multiple, smaller text groups might work.
What ye think?

of course you know what to do....
-
What do ye think?
Will it be all over before you get to the bottom of the pot of coffee?
Maybe they will still be on sale on Tuesday.....
Anyway, I'll buy a pint of "Hot n Spicy" for whoever gets closest to the sell-out time/day.
...better put in a few conditions....
Pint to be bought at 8pm on the Wed, from the cider bus (doesn't have to be hot n spicy, whatever's on the menu)
I'll have to be successful myself on Sunday, obviously.
Sell-out time?? maybe ask Neill or some other mod to confirm what the "official" time was???
Cut-off time for entries is 9am Sunday

There's loads of info on here about bringing kids. Use the search for kids or kidz and you should be sorted. Ours will be on their 4th trip next year (tickets pending !!!) and they are 9 & 11. Aside from the kidz field there is so much more for them to do and see around the site. My fella made a three-legged stool for himself last time in Green Crafts.
One tip I'd have is the buggy you bring. As well as have a place for the baby to sleep while you are wandering, it makes a great vehicle for carrying gear/food/beer etc. We still bring ours for carting the gear from the car to campsite.
It's worth investing in one of those three-wheelers as they are the easiest to navigate through rough ground. The bigger the wheels the better.
Don't let anyone talk you out of bringing them. Trouble is, after they go once they will want to go every year.....
-
I agree, TAKE THE KIDS. We are bringing ours (tickets pending!!!) next year for their 4th one. They will love it...
-
No wayyyy, you got to 'av mud....

We're gonna lazy our way down south of Ireland today, get ferry tomorrow morning and get to the car parks tomorrow evening.
Let the party begin.....
-
I'm slightly confused - this says that rain won't be too bad, but some of the images say otherwise. Looks to me like that low pressure will pass to the north of the SW of the UK on this forecast.

Sound, dude
Let's make it a coffee.
I'll keep an eye out for you.....I'll be the one with the two hyper kids who are very eager to spend another week at the best festival in the world...
