Ponyegg Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 ...the gates being open overnight means cars won't queue at the gates first thing in the morning, they'll get into the carpark as and when they arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breeze Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Just wondering if, come gate opening time there will be a stampede of people who have been waiting in car parks all night ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Leaving from Sheffield at our usual time of 5am, plan to arrive about 10.30am. Never previously had any problems with this plan (we missed last year's chaos by some miracle ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4AssedMonkey Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Funny, we left Sheff at 6am last year and stopped at the M5 services for about 20 minutes and we had a nightmare getting in to the site. Looks like we left it just a fraction too late.... This year Bob (designated driver) reckons we set off at midnight with a view to getting parked up by circa 5am. Quick snooze in the car and then in the site just after it opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyMonkey Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I was hoping that it might just be that everyone that is a member on here is clearly obsessed with Glastonbury therefore the ones that are going to kip in a car park over night. Fingers crossed most people will arrive normal times after we've all snuck in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackarmy Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Bus leaving Swansea 5:15 on the Wednesday, scheduled to arrive at Glastonbury at 9:45. So I'm hopeful of being on site by mid day, and set up and unpacked in time for the England game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky Jim Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I plan on being onsite, tent pitched, before dusk on Tuesday night. Gotta be up early Wednesday to work when the gates open! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulb Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Jaysus! I'm glad that we don't have a choice to arrive early on Wednesday morning because it sounds like that will be most people's plans. We are sailing into Pembroke arriving about 1pm. From there, it's about 3 - 4 hours so hopefully will be all set up at 6pm. Avoid all the morning traffic. And then go explore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiohea_d Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Leaving Brighton at 10am Wednesday, so I guess I'll be set up late afternoon, early evening? Then .... PARRTAAAYYYY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
