  1. That sounds rough. Hope you heal up quick (and get tickets).
  2. Yes - Weds or Thurs is the first option usually. Be warned, I think the Scottish coaches are usually early doors. I think Aberdeen was just after midnight (I realise that's a bugger tonne away from Edinburgh though!).
  3. The departure points without times - they let you know about a month before what time you're going.
  4. My one tip is ensure your entire group is on board with departure options in order of preference. If you live in London and someone gets excited and books Aberdeen....
  5. Reading this thread has made me question if I want to go for a Thursday coach. But Thursday coach ticket > no Glastonbury ticket.
  6. Another great Deer Shed! Divorce, Dream Wife, August Charles, Comet Is Coming and Delgados made it for me. For anyone reading this thread and thinking of taking the kids in 2024 - GO!
  7. Depends where you camp. If you keep walking from the carpark towards the actual deer shed there was loads of room last year. Some folk had gazebos - wasn't a problem. If you park up at Gate 1 at 1 minute past door opening and plonk it in the closest camping field I'd imagine someone will say something. The spot near the deer shed is actually very nice too - lots of quiet loos and a fairly direct route into the back of the arena. If you do camp there look for an Innocent Men flag and come say hi if you like!
  8. Definitely get a test. Last year something like half of our group came back with it.
  9. Best: Leons Lebanese Veggie platter (Saturdays only apparently). £15 but everything was amazing. I might go as far as saying it's the best veggie thing I've had eating out in years. Worst: A falafel wrap from that cafe in the camping behind woodsies but to be fair even that was serviceable. Special shout out to the £6 pasty, chips and beans deal. That provided a few quick meals.
  10. I think the camping space has been squeezed with the changes to campervan accessibility, hospitality and the Pyramid and surrounding areas having wider paths (necessary!). I think the biggest thing is everyone seems to have bigger tents. Single people in 3-4 man tents. There are hardly any 2 man popups about.
  11. Anyone know how the back of this queue is looking? At gate D mates were told it's six hours, his photo shows the back of the queue at West 37 carpark.
  12. I reckon this based on his recent sets https://open.spotify.com/playlist/22NK2vayfPMdF76lBxhMIC?si=yA_OHhtWRSa9A61jx7pf2Q
  13. Do we know when their social accounts will wake up? Looking forward to running up that hill again. That chalkboard of gold.
  14. I'd suggest Causeway just best Bristol. Easy jump off the M5. There's an Asda, Morrisons and a Tesco. Even a Go Outdoors if you need camping gear. There's a McDonald's if that's your thing too. https://maps.app.goo.gl/RsFGPYUiQq8NBukeA
  15. Yes. We're a nation of alcoholics
  16. This will likely mean they don't get many entries. So if you have friend that is ticketless and an Octopus Energy customer I reckon this is a good shot at it!
  17. It's becoming a thing with our group. Just put on any tie dye you have. All welcome. Who's in?
  18. My link failed - the route didn't show properly. I suggested this: What I'm not 100% about is walking up Cockermill Lane.
  19. WE HAVE A WINNER! Thanks for posting!
  20. Someone asked a question on Twitter how to get their international tickets if they're parking for camping near Gate C. I think I've told them the correct thing to do - anyone know? 1) If there's a better suggestion (Guessing you can't pull up at the boxoffice - park temporarily etc) 2) If this route to walk is open? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/51.1546679,-2.5760215/51.1623618,-2.5961653/@51.1560939,-2.5755348,258m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m9!4m8!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-2.5897189!2d51.1646762!3s0x48722346eff71da9:0xa78c643b3726e6c1!1m0!3e2?entry=ttu
  21. Today we get to see the tickets and who has the earliest postie! Probably, maybe.
  22. 2016 was not the worst / hardest I've been to but it was tricky to have fun. Was it 2005 that I'm thinking of that remains etched in my mind as starting raining on Thursday evening and I'm not sure it stopped once? In a wet year definitely dial down your expectations - limit how much stage trudging you're planning to do and your legs and feet will thank you for it!
  23. Not sure if it's going to happen the same way but last year our coach emptied out and we were given access straight to the gate over folk coming from the car park. But planning for 2 hours (have some water, suncream handy, rain mac etc is not a bad plan).
  24. This sounds like some journey. Have you done it before? What time do you usually get to the fields?
  25. On the plus side - having done this - you'll walk straight through gate a with no queues and traffic wise you shouldn't get stuck getting out of Mank or passing Brum.
