Yep...apart from the car keys! 😁

Either or. Easier to walk from PGA to PGD outside the festival than through it to be honest. You can get your Holt Farm wristband first, set up, then head into the festival and collect your festival wristband then. Edit: no need to walk on roads, it's through the carpark from PGA to PGD, they're not that far from each other.

I guess the genie is out of the bottle now, who knows what we'll do in future! Will see what this is like this year, have been religiously camped in Lime Kiln for years, so it'll be a new experience.

Actually, just realised that it's back to the old festival ticket and pass out messing like when we used to bring the van. Not generally a problem for me, but some of the eejits I'm with will definitely be panic stricken looking for their ticket to get in or out at some point! 😁

This exactly! Was about to ask where the lockups near PGD are? Generally stay over the other side of the site so unfamiliar with this neck of the woods, but will be dropping anything worth nicking in there once pitched and on my first foray inside. Edit: Looks like the ones at Bushy Ground appear the be closest!

Yeah, I’ll just meet the stragglers when they arrive and get wristbands sorted for them.

What’s around Sticklinch and Worthy View?

There’s one parking spot for £100. Not sure if they sell extra. We’ve two cars between 6 of us, so booked 2 pitches with parking spots and a 3rd pitch with no parking. Considering general parking is £55 in advance or likely to be £60-65 on the gate, for a 100m trek from car to tent, it’s not bad between 3!

No offence taken at all! Never done the glamping thing, always preferred to be down in the thick of things, but with a smaller group this year it looks like a good option (well, I stayed in a teepee at the first electric picnic as I'd always admired them at Glasto and they were dirt cheap the first year, but actually they were damp and full of ants, so was never tempted again!). Also have way more in the Park this year than Woodsies, so being closer to that side of the festival will be handy. I'll be getting in early though so should actually make it to the meet for once! edit: autocorrect typo...I've never done any clamping either mind you!

Ah, it won't be for everyone. Suits us as we have a bunch arriving at different times and want to pitch together, which year after year is looking increasingly harder as the day wears on on Wednesday (we have some arriving Thursday too). So, I floated the idea to the rest of my group and surprisingly they all said go for it. If it's shite, we won't do it again! 😁

Yep, I floated the idea to my group and was surprised that they jumped at it, so we went for it as well. Not much more of a trek in each day than from where we usually camp in Lime Kiln (though will be nice to not be in a crumpled heap at the end of my tent in the morning for a change as it looks a good bit flatter than there!), certainly no worse than when we used to take the van. We too won't be getting most of the group in til Wednesday evening and camping together is what makes our Glasto, so reckoned it was worth it! Also have a car coming over on the ferry, so given the parking is close to the tents, will probably bring some things we usually leave at home! (cooler, camping chair etc). PGD from PGA isn't a huge trek, no worse than if you were to be heading into the festival to camp. Vaguely recall waking from PGA to PGD in 2011 and it was about 15-20 minutes fully laden.

£350 does include the parking! £250 without parking. Reckon we'd get 3-4 Vango Halo 300s on a 5mx5m pitch? Makes it 80 odd quid each if so. Not that bad really for a parking spot close to camp...really depends on what the trek to PGD is like every day. Looks like a handy enough spot though. Never bothered with boutique camping as the tents aren't as good as my own, but this is a bit tempting as I won't get to the festival til Wednesday afternoon and it looks like Lime Kiln has gotten very popular over the last couple of festivals! To be honest, if they actually opened up these fields as general camping, I reckon they'd be popular.

Ah, thanks! It’s an area that seems to keep on changing!

ah, it appears some of wicket was also allocated as accessible camping in 2023, so would expect that to remain the same and fair enough tbh.

Ah, that explains lots. We always camp in Lime Kiln, but I missed out last year and my mates said it was rammed by lunch on Wednesday, whereas normally there’s plenty of room til much later…but at the previous few festivals, some of the field below the road and down into wicket was outside the family camping fence. Looks like they pushed it back up to the road last year. I too hope they move the fence back down a bit this year!
