Runner Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'd love to know where everyone is planning to get plastic champagne bottles from... Anyway, our tradition is that we always have a Breakfast Special from Manic Organic on the first morning we're there. It's the best meal of the whole year!! And also I always buy a headscarf or wrap as a souvenir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 as soon as the tents are put up make our way to the stone circle...unwind and bask in the knowledge that we'll be having the best weekend of our lives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMadeMeDoIt Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 As soon as i park up i get out of the car and have a beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3puddings Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Head down to the cider bus on the first day once the tents are up to meet up with everyone. It's also become a tradition to watch whichever 80s classic is playing in the cinema field on the Thursday night too - watching The Goonies with however many thouseand other people in 2005 was something pretty special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanwyan Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 On the Monday night just before leaving i always go to the curry place next to the jazz field for a big curry, they practically give it away towards the end of the festival.

stuartbert two hats Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I like to wear two hats. Every since '04 when I got really bad sunburn, I needed to wear a sombrero for shade and a floppy hat underneath because my head was too tender. I try to wear two hats as often as possible and get everyone to call me "Stuey Two Hats" or some similar stupid moniker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I always go to the Healing Fields, strip off and just chill out nude in and around the sauna area. Such a good way to unwind for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valka Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Arrive, trek to campsite, pitch up and head straight for the Garlic stall for the most amazing garlic bread (normally in a large group and so not a problem but am going alone this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewUnion Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I always arrive wearing my Music Pirate T-Shirt (not just to Glastonbury, but to every festival I have been to, which granted is only 5 but it was worn each time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robalotalob Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 crack open a tinny while putting the tent up. have a wander soon after putting the tent up to get my bearings / see what's changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblinz Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I usually pitch up and then head off up to the stone circle before having a walk round site to see what's new before it get's too busy and then go jump in the sauna. Traditionally I spend way too much time in Lunched out lizards drinking Chai and playing cards... There has to be at least one sunrise at the stone circle and I have to be in the right state to fully appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicstar Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 At some point over the weekend, usually at the muddiest time, I decide to fall over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamChappu Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 We always have a pot noodle once the tent is up & our first pint has to be Burrowhill from the Cider Bus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukslim Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 We used to make a point of seeing Woody Bop Muddy on Sunday night. But I don't think he does it any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valka Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I have some bad news Garlic Kitchen was not there in 2009. Even asked at the info points. We can only hope for its return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah-Lou Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I always take a Purple monkey helium balloon to tie to our tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfly1967 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 At the most hectic point in the festival (usually about 2am Sat night) head up to the greenfields and chill-out for an hour or so at the chai tent with a cup of chai-tea and one of their amazing "energy balls" - sorted! Then get hectic again & dance 'til dawn!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Crack open the bubbly and a punnet of strawberries once the tent is up. And the answer to bubbly at Glasto is this from Lidl's. Very drinkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
