Great quality here
Do you have a similar link for 2003?

That is brilliant.

Agree with both of those points. I used to get fed up with the trudge back (uphill) from the SE corner at 4AM. But...nowhere else has a 24/7 establishment of the quality of Loulou's within 5 mins of your tent either :-)
Just thought I'd contribute to your dilemma....
Did you ever camp on Hitchin' HIll and remember a bacon van that played Mika (the same song) on repeat for 2 days? I was ready to kill.

Although I now use Worthy View, always used to camp in Spring Ground then Hitchin Hill. It's the best IMHO. You sure you want to move....?!! xx
No - my hand is being forced
That said I am sick of the loooong walk back if I feel "naughty". The view in the morning from Hitchin' Hill is pretty much unbeatable though.
Decisions, decisions! -
I've always camped up at Hitchin' Hill and I think it's time for a change. What I like is being away from the river (been to too many wet ones), having a bit of a hill below me and being fairly close to the toilet blocks with long drops or the new compost toilets (camped once with only portaloos and it wasn't nice!).
Would Paines or South Park 1/ 2 provide any of that? Would like to avoid the late night noise of Arcadia but also not be on the other side of the festival this year!
Advice appreciated - the reason I ask is we're arriving in the middle of the night this time

NZCA Lines have just tweeted their playing the Crow's Nest on Friday night.
If you're a Glastonbury newbie - this is well worth the trek up the hill. It's a lovely intimate venue - you'll find out the time by looking at the chalk board outside!
-
Don't the other networks just stick up temporary masts near the site but just not in it?
I'm on Three - it worked fine last time but if you get issues try cycling Flight mode on and off again.
-
I carry a small backpack - a few cans of cider and a foil lined camping blanket. Can have a lie down at the back at some point and it just folds away to nothing.
-
We "got in" to watch Rastamouse - they on the entrance to the areadissuading groups of lads carrying cans of cider (which we were). Probably sensible.. we just happened to walk around to a different entrance and get in (not trying to break-in - honest!).
Only fair the "Kidz" get first shout. So I think the answer is, you'll get to see Bagpuss / Basil et al if you want to but let's let the kids have their headliners too

barring an extraordinarily close result, it will be known and called well before the Pyramid stage even starts on Friday.
Love that the only place this seems to exist is on an Australian website.
-
Not really an issue for the organisers to let the crowds know as i'm sure anyone interested with a smart phone will know the result but I wonder who will be on stage of the Pyramid as the result comes in?
Seems no-one knows how long the count will take http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/CBP-7588 .. could be during someone's act!

Myers - I've just PMed you. I've just won a competition so have tickets but no car parking. I'm in Manchester too so can do cash if you still have it

Congrats!
By the way; your name isn't based on a conversation you saw on here is it?
Huh?! No I've had it for a good few years!

what did you have to do to win them?
I think it was a simple question! To be honest I'd forgotten all about it! I missed a call from Weston-Super-Mare.. glad I didn't miss it the second time!!!
If this is my friends with an elaborate windup I won't even be mad.. at least I had a couple of hours of thinking I was going
-
This was going to be the first year since 1998 (except one break for being overseas) I was missing Glastonbury and I've only just gone and won two tickets!
Can't believe it! Thanks to the good people at Thatchers Cider I'll see you all there!

One of my favourite threads of the year. It's one of the first signs of Glasto, the self confirmations beginning!
Yes - was great fun last year, when I had tickets in the bag. Now it's just making me nervous!
-
Saw a couple of good acts in Bourbon Street - Ledfoot being the stand out.
Is it because it was a "private" bar and they just booked their own acts - I think I heard somewhere it didn't take in the cash it needed?

Thought she was really poor on the Pyramid. Out of time with the band and vocally weak. Not sure she was ready for this - shame, love the record.
Probably about the only "new" act all weekend I was disappointed with. I know it's a punk edge but Slaves showed how that was done!
-
Camped in Hitchin Hill and came back to find my tent open. Had nothing in there worth nicking but my first experience of this in 15 years of coming.
Sorry to anyone who's lost something. Thieving bastards.
