Best little nook or cranny to hide away in and destress?

[0rbita1]

Ok, this one's motivated by self-interest.

Where's the best place to go if you wanna take some time out and just wind down a little during the festival if you're feeling a little stressed or overwhelmed with the normally pleasant hectidity of it all (that isn't your own tent)?

Will explain - suffer from a pretty major stress disorder (with some ocd etc all thrown in for good measure) and it'll be the first time I've been since '04 this year. Know I had a few 'moments' last time when the crowds and noise all got a bit overwhelming. Am determined to return - love the place and the vibe - but am a little nervous if it happens again this time.

Just wondered what areas you folks'd recommend to someone who might want a little peace and isolation for a while when there just to get their heads together...

There's a great little cafe in a tree up by The Park. Or there's normally a couple of nice gardens down in the Green fields.

Go get a massage in the Green Fields. Nice after walking around for a few days. No happy endings though - they get quite offended when you ask them too.

I found a little seating area in the Permaculture end of the Green Futures field. Just a few wooden benches in a circle. Almost deserted in the mornings, ideal for getting away from it all and re-charging the batteries for the coming day.

There were some small 'domes' made out of willow in the Healing Field (I think) where we spent some very pleasant time chilling last year. Feels nicely secluded without being cut off.

That cafe is fantastic and very chilled out place.

Anywhere up near the Park area is very relaxed.

[mattrgee]

We had many an ale fuelled doze on the hill overlooking The Park and outside the Red Flag Bar, ah bliss

[Dog Burger]

Would definitely recommend the Permaculture garden. Also very nice, shady and cool in there when it's a scorching hot day. Up by the Acoustic Stage is quite calming, too.

Wouldn't recommend standing in the middle of the Dance Village, equidistant between all of the different dance stages....

Just found this in my pics from 08. The tree cafe is on the right.

The perfect place to relax and chill is at Flagtopia.

Fantastic place, that.

look, i just didn't fancy you, that's all.

Is that Permaculture Garden? I met a cool girl who was working there last year but didn't manage to catch up with her again. A reminder to ALWAYS take a pen and paper around at glasto

At the "other stage" when scouting for girls are on. Will be very few there.

The viewing area up to the right of the stone circle, the bit with loads of white flags up on the hilltop. You can see for miles and its such a large open space that there is always an area to claim as your own for a lil while.
