Best bit kidz field its amazing

[Lucanesque]

Worst bit - 2hr trudge from E10 to gate C, being held at a vehicle crossing point with thousands of people trying to squeeze through, followed by the search for space - which was well and truly the final frontier by that point.

Best bit - Lying in the healing field after a shiatsu massage eating veggie pizza from the place by the entrance to Greenpeace, I was the most chilled I have been all year

[Treeswinger]

Best bit.. lots. Erm, lying on my back, in the shade of a banner/flat, hat over my face, listening to Tunng at West Holts when a load of people had pushed off to watch the football. The singalong 'shout shout let it all out' at Dizzee (I feel a bit of a sell out for thinking this was great, but I had a lump in my throat, I don't like football but I like a bit of patriotism), George Clinton West Holts on Saturday night, just the right level of drunk, dancing around like a loon with anyone who would dance with me. Opening Live Lounge thingy with Mumford and Sons playing the BBC introducing on Friday morning - first song Awake My Soul, which is currently my best song in the world ever. Nice start.

Worst bit - seeing that dust/grime had settled into what are the beginnings of wrinkles on my neck. WRINKLES ON MY NECK.. SCREAM.. I'm turning into my mother.

[tom d 123]

best: being right at the front for mumford and sons in the bbc introducing and edge coming on and muse doing where the streets have no name

worst : the heat unbearable at times

[Messiah Jason]

Best bits - Greenfields in general, great place. Stevie Wonder too.

Worst bit - 4 hours of queueing to get in after a very poor nights sleep in the car, won't be doing that again.

[Jules007]

Worst - 4 hr queue with all our clobber in the midday sun with a 2 yr old to get into the pedestrian gate.

Best - Going to sleep up at the stone circle with a bunch of random people partying around me only to wake up at 8.30am to find they'd taken care of me and all my belongings that were scattered around. They then gave me a beer and walked me back! Thanks randoms.

[grumpyhack]

Best bit by far - this year we had a trailer tent and were in Campervan East. Never again will I want to return to 'normal' camping. We had comfort, space and A FRIDGE! Fresh strawberries and fruit for the first three days (steadily replaced by cans as the food went down). Still drinking cool beer at the end.

Second best bit - the weather. I've done Glastos in the worst washouts but it was great just to stroll around in normal shoes, not walking boots.

Musically for me it was Ray Davies. Wonderful afternoon of choral Kinks.

Worst bit - having to leave and come home. There were no bad bits to the fest itself.

[T.Funster]

Best bits

The coach service to & from Bristol Temple Meads was brilliant: straight there & back with barely a delay (got a 10am bus & was in the site an hour ealrier than my friends who had left by car at 7am!) although £14 each way was a bit pricey.

The music/entertainment. Thoroughly enjoyed everything this year. Not a duff act among everything I saw.

Worst bits.

My camera/memory card deciding to dump all content on Sunday evening (fortunately my Dad, who is a bit of an expert on cameras, managed to recover a decent amount of pictures, but I lost all the video).

Ridiculous crowds/crushes at the Pyramid & Arcadia/Shangri-La.

Having to wait another 50 weeks to do it all again!

[dondo]

Best Bits:

The weather- nice and dry

Musically-lots but PSB stick out for me

Working as a litter picker the sense of satisfaction seeing a nice clean field behind you after cleaning it up

Wort bits

The weather- too hot at times

6am starts as litter picker

Being annoyed with myself by being one of those annoying tw*ts that wants to get to the front as happened during PSB whilst trying to find my mate there- attracted a few glares even when trying to be as polite as possible- sorry!

[denwyn]

Best was the music i listed to,good food and beer

Worst was...Far to bloody hot, traffic on site, losing my camera

[rexclark]

Worst - The 10 hour journey that turned into a 16 hour journey with no Air Conditioning.

[hedgepeg]

The beginning

The End :angry:

[Guitargeek4]

Best: (Whispers from crowds) Who is it? It's Thom Yorke! Thom Yorke? Long Pork? No Thom Yorke!!! THOM YORKE!!!!! *Sprints like there's no tomorrow.*

"I'd like to bring out my friend Johnny".

"Rows of houses, are baring down on meeeee."

Worst: Waking up at 6:30 drenched in sweat every morning!

[mandypants]

Best: The sunshine, my lovely old mates, my new mates who camped next to me, most of the bands, the outside circus stage, the green fields, sitting down in the Permaculture then realising that the odd smell was a bloody great compost heap next to me Smiles, relaxation, hammocks, gratefully found bits of shade, sausage egg and chips from the childrens cafe, the utter joy of being there, Bellas Bridge, Gay Night with the Scissor Sisters, followed by PSB and a wander round Shangri La.

Worst: The long journey there and back, especially the homeward leg, when I ended up on a train for 4 hours with no air conditioning, I felt like I was going to die! Missing bits of the festival that I really wanted to see, like the Unfairground

[rachmac]

Best - having time to chill out, not rushing around to see hundreds of bands and enjoying every moment - especially Blazing Saddles stage - shady and entertaining during the day!

Worst - far too hot - I don't work in the heat and people talking through bands.

Why do people go well into the crowd (and in front of the barrier for Muse!!!) and before the act come on be all like 'oh my god i can't believe i'm seeing so and so im so excited' and then talk all the way through performances ffs - if you want to talk - go to the back!

[fowls]

Best - Stevie Wonder. Someone I thought I'd never see in a million years. Enjoyed it a lot more than I ever expected.

Worst - The crowd crush leaving after Rolf Harris. God knows why they thought it'd be a good idea having 6 or 7 bin trucks running between Other stage and Pyramid just as Rolf Harris leaves the stage.

[mamoo_51]

Best:

- As it was my first time - getting to the stone circle, turning round and being largely underwhelmed...then joining a friend in the next field along, by the flags and above the Tipis, turning round again a realising what the fuss was all about

- Accidentally stumbling out of the unfair ground around 3am and discovering the 50p tea tent...better still, it was still trading with a lovely log fire! As bizarre as it may sound, the short rest from the chaos with some tea and cake followed by a return to the madness was something I couldn't imagine experiencing anywhere else.

- Singing and dancing like a loon to Stevie W on the sunday

- Being thanked by a band for the flag <runs for cover from the flag haters!> I made in support of a relatively little known group playing the Park Stage.

Worst:

- Having to go home!

That is all!

Don't even think I could class the heat as a worst bit as without that i'd probably have exhausted myself running from stage to stage each day and never discovered the pleasure in staying up until past sunrise admiring the indescribable joyous chaos taking place in Arcadia, Shagri La, Block 9 and the unfair ground.

In summary, when do I get to go it all again?! I dont think i can wait the best part of another year
