It's Tradition 09

[Abbathehorse]

Was always the same for me with a fat one but last Glasto was my first as a non-smoker of ANY kind. I have to say I didn't really miss it although I think I probably drank more to result in same lightheaded feeling in the Stone Circle at 5am

[elbongo]

I think you may have got confused in your Glastonbury excitement. There is the Brothers Bar and the Cider bus and never the twain shall meet. Unfortunately there is no Brothers bus... unless of course I am bery much mistaken?

[emeeuk]

Find spot, lay in grass, couple of beers + smoke, take some pics, pitch tent, lay in grass, couple more beers. say hi to neighbours. go for mooch

[ding dong]

ride the monorail

[greenarmy69]

Cider then tent then Ale

[luckyman]

Get through the turnstiles and shout for joy, set up camp at Pennards then its beer-o-clock, tends to stay that way till monday morning. I cannot wait to be there

[INeedBeer]

i will be jumping on the monorail then visitin the arena then the brothers bus then robbing tents tehn go home

[BonnetBird]

I HAVE to have my first cider as soon as the car is parked and the engine has stopped running.

And several more on the way in with all that baggage, need to keep my energy up of course!

[rubberducky]

Well same as most people on here; setup tent, roll a fat one, brothers cider, stone circle (probably in that order)!

[nicktrow]

Arrive Wednesday, take a massive dump in the toilets while they're still in good nick, then spend the next 5 days gripping my stomach in pain refusing to go again until I get home on Monday.

[Onion Terror]

Kiss the ground and get to work on my errection (tent)

[*kathrynjayne*]

Hehe much the same as everyone else; arrive wed afternoon..set up tent...sit down and have a cider (though to be honest there are usually a cider before we start as a reward lugging all that stuff from the car)...throw my junk in the tent and disappear off for adventures!!

[TheBoyInTheBubble]

Well last year after setting the tent up, I took a nice giant-sized breath, looked around, started crying and then cracked open a manly can of G&T.

[muddyslingbax]

I like to go round different camps and moan about the line-up for a good few hours, then I get back to camp for 8pm, clean my boots, brush my teeth and go to bed ready for another day of moaning.

[Titters]

Isn't kissing the ground a bit of a health hazard after the cows have been strolling round for the past 12 months!?

Anyway.. tradition -

Tent, Gazebo, BBQ, Tin...

Then off to take a big walk around the site. 2 years ago (while it was still dry) we found a football, which we kicked between us all the way round.

Last year we found the rave machine in the stone circle, then I talked to a man from WaterAid dressed as a poo.

This year I want to buy a hat.

Generally an earlyish night on the Wednesday - falling to sleep listening to the footsteps on the metal walkways...

I love waking up to all the new tents that have arrived next to us in the night!

[Glasto Mart]

Tradition in our group: Park the car, then with smiling faces pop open the cheap bottle of champagne that was chilling in the fridge just before we left home. All get a glass full, bottoms up, then rush off to get a good spot to pitch the tents.

Oh how I can't wait for Wednesday....

[grumpyhack]

Stretch out on my airbed to get my breath back after fixing camp.

Put on the kettle for a cup of real ground coffee.

Then a traditional glass of bubbly and strawberries for everyone.

Say hello to the neighbours.

After that it's time to hit town.

[zoso70]

Are you actually Sandra Bullock???

[Adam34]

Note to self

I must remember to put up tent before making a joint. I got it the wrong way round last year, took f**king ages.

[Man drew]

Shot of Sambucca when we all meet up!

[WorthyFM-87.7]

You know, I'll do this. I've got myself a solar radio for this year. Any chance of a shoutout to the Bluepig camp?
