Things to avoid at glasto

[ramragon]

One thing I would avoid is drinking like a madman on the Wednesday evening, eating a huge Burrito with extra Jalapenos, washing it down with organic mead, Burrowhill and a random stranger's bottle of paint-stripper strong vodka and coke. I did that in 2009 and ended up with the shits for 3 days as a result, which at Glastonbury has a whole new dimension of unpleasantness.

Personally my choice isn't to wait around for ages to see one band at Glastonbury - it isn't a loss for me. I do other stuff, I see bands that I can see close up even if I get there quite late, I see others from a distance, I choose to give others a swerve because even if I do get there early, I don't find being in a crush that nearly makes me faint any fun any more.

I acknowledged in my previous post that when I was younger I might've done what you did, but what I thought was fun then (and it was - your post did remind me of experiences I had mislaid), I now find stressful. As I said - each to their own. I thought I had fairly clearly respected your point of view, you could try the same with mine.

We could continue to argue about it after I've agreed with you, but I wouldn't call that "nice & friendly".

The written word is a funny thing so I hope that isn't too ranty - but I never thought I'd get called for being lazy at Glastonbury!

Not having any wood for a fire, gets damn cold, also adds a nice homely feel to your camp when you get back. If you fail to find a wood pile on arrival get some bagged stuff from the rear of the Other stage near Glade, about 7 quid a bag, get camp peeps to chip in, they also do a discount if you buy a few extra
