Tuesday

[sowfpig09]

what time? and will someone convince me whether driving down is a good idea, im not too confident, i dont wanna dread monday and feel rough etc. not really had tht much driving experience lol i dnt like big roundabouts haha. am i a woman or what

[Funkfarley]

I have driven there and back twice and on the way down its a real buzz...coming back i was soooo tired but that was cos we left very late sunday/early monday morning.

We tend to travel down on the tuesday and camp in Wells over night, that means we can just get up and go the half hour to Glasto next morning instead of travelling all the way from liverpool early in the morning and then having to haul our stuff across site.

Dont worry about driving though...where abouts south Yorkshire? Sheffield way?

Its a fairly easy run on the motorways you will be fine. If you don't have sat nav use Google Maps or AA Routefinder.

Then you can be a proper girl like me and not even attempt to read a map much to other halfs disgust. :angry:

I really don't understand folk who won't drive more than a few miles out of their town.

Seriously what is the point of having a car if you don't go places you want to go?

Crazy driving people!

For some confidence only comes with experience which is gained by driving about their own town and not all drivers have yet gained thet sort of confidence to drive long distances.

I never felt wary about driving anywhere from passing my test 6 months after my 17th birthday, but many friends felt the need to have lessons on the motorway before venturing on it.

Live and let live, we are all individuals.

dont wanna be too confident either!can cause accidents:)

[scaryclaireyfairy]

we drive down from scotland and usually have 2 experienced drivers. this year we have one plus a new licensee so we've booked a travelodge for the monday night. can't remember which, but it's about 30 miles from the festival. we then plan a good 12 hour kip before driving further.

[StoneCircle]

thanks, yeah i love google maps lol i use it all time!!!!!!

but i do have a sat nav just incase i think id feel safer with that lol. does anyone know about the car parks? they sound confusing?

[Funkfarley]

Sowfpig..
