Going alone? post here

[scho]

any other going alone stories?

just wondering what its like. i mean say you arrive alone early on wednesday, would you pitch your tent next to other peoples or find an open space? are people friendly? just a bit nervous as not been to glastonbury before.

i will be heading down alone on the wednesday and then my 2 friends are coming thursday afternoon. hoping to bring their tents with me and pitch them for them, as they have exams on the thursday morning so are coming straight afterwards.

hoping i can make it through wednesday alone =P might be a good chance to get a good look around!

You won't be alone on Wednesday. By the time you've put up three tents and got to know your neighbours it'll be time to head to the Pyramid Stage to watch the footy, then on to the Cider Bus for the first efestivals meet, having a wicked time with a load of friendly folk.

haha sounds good

I went on my own in 08 and had an amazing time, saw so much more than I ever did when I went with groups a few times before, sat down when I wanted, watched what I wanted, danced when I wanted and was forced to talk to people that I prob wouldn't otherwise!! It was great!

[BuriedBones]

Relax - everything will be fine. Going alone can be so much better than in a big group.

You haven't got a "collective will" to deal with - you can go where you want, when you want. Meet others on their own, meet groups. The world is your oyster and all that

Im also going by myself.

but i have a stupid doubt.. where do you guys keep your stuff?? like money and clothes...

do you leave it on the tent?

[FunkyDenz]

Use the lockups too, you can leave a small bag there with essentials you don't want to carry around, they are 24 hour.

Hi everyone,

2010 will be my 4th Glasto. Recenty separated from the Mrs and my mate has dropped out today due to credit issues! I'm a little apprehensive about going solo this year but I know I would regret it if I didn't.

Im hoping to meet some fantastic people as I did last year. Infact last year I spent more time with the friends I made on the bus, the infamous 14 hr journey gave perfect opportunity to get wasted with 50 fellow Glastoers.

Despite that fact, it is daunting and it would be great to meet up with some other folk.

Im travelling from Nottingham by Coach if anyone else is heading down on the bus give me a buzz.

Due to 2 of my friends going on a trip to china and another friend being a complete lightweight, I'm now on the going alone list

[goldfishboy]

looks like i'm in this gang now. friends have bailed for various reasons, but i really don't want to miss out on glasto... see you there

Bort that blog is great! Brings back some ace memories

[Darth Duffman]

I had a big group i was going with but slowly it was deminished to just me for various reasons like exams being close to is or just generaly being to rubish to sort out payment so now its just me (not completely though as my brother is going but he is most liekly not going to be with me).

[smudger]

Hi, im form Norfolk.

I might be goin on my own, depends whether my ex's new partner will let him go alone with me

(porbably not lol)

Even if we do go together i'll be going my own way once the tent's pitched

[geztival_09]

You booked your coach ticket yet?

My mate's just been offered a job in Abu Dhabi, so won't be in England for Glasto, so looks like I'm going alone and driving down from Nottingham on my own.

I am potentially going alone as well, waiting to see if my friend can get tickets in the re-sale. Little apprehensive but I know how easy it is to chat to people there so it should be ok. I'll probably be getting the coach from London.

For those that are visually impaired!

[stevegt]

Yeah, it's my first ever Glasto and I'm going alone.

Most of my mates are going to the World Cup, plus they wouldn't have been up for it anyway, they can barely survive at Reading Festival and we live in Reading

Looking forward to it anyway. Sounds like I'll have to check out the efestivals camp site.

This is my second year at Glastonbury, this year I have chosen to go alone for the simple reason that you are free to wander whenever and wherever, if you want to meet and chat to others and you are a first timer you will not feel let down!

[SNUBBLE]

All alone here too. Bought tickets with hubby but now we're getting divorced. I refuse to stay at home and watch everyone else (especially him!) having fun on TV, knowing that I could have been there.

My friend has said that she'd register and try and get tickets in the resale, but I'm not holding my breath!

[SNUBBLE]

There are so many people who have split up since they got tickets. We ought to have a name for it. It's like a Glasto jinx

[Jack Attack]

we can all cry into our Brothers, sing a few choruses of "I will Survive" and then get all bitter and vow to stay single for the rest of our lives

[sel_mk]

I'm another one of those recently single people now going alone! I'm traveling down from Manchester was meant to be going with my boyfriend but then we split up and he had his ticket refunded. Some people!

This will be my 6th Glastonbury so I know it pretty well but it will be the first one on my own. I wasn't going to let anyone stop me from going though. It is the best place on earth!

Would be up for any meet ups at glasto anyway with any other solo goers or anyone else. Just hope I can somehow manage to pitch my tent without an extra pair of hands lol - please don't be a windy first day!
