MYHAB

[robsmith82]

This is my first Glastonbury and I'm also stopping at myhab with the wife. Because we are aiming at a different car park than the public ones, is there a way to avoid some of the big queues on the Wednesday is travelling down from the north?

[parsonjack]

From what I can see all they have done is cut it

Good job there wont be any rain!

Received an e-mail from them on Thursday stating that the passes would arrive Friday or Saturday - nothing arrived yet.

Giving them until tomorrow and will then chase.

Very poor - need to work wednesday - then travel down overnight from Glasgow - but any one going down earlier may not receive the pass in time.

yep...head for Frome, then A361 going West, then A350 through Wanstrow, right to Batcombe and onto Evercreech, left onto A371 then right to Ditcheat, through the village, up the hill, cross the A37 and you're there...you might get caught behind a tractor or two but that should be about it...we'll be behind you in a Mini

[robsmith82]

Sorry to be a pain, but is it safe to get to Frome from Bristol or should I avoid the M5/A37 altogether? Im coming from Coventry so I was toying with the idea of just coming straight down onsome random A roads..

[Gnomicide]

Maybe they're taking you down in one of these...

[Gnomicide]

Make sure you put the brakes on at the bottom or you'll clear the stone circle and end up in the compost bogs.

hmm...if it was simply cut it would still be green just a tad lighter....no way its been cut and dried out to give that discolouration...

my bet is its been laid with straw...

[parsonjack]

We'll find out soon. My lawn was really long once, and when I finally cut it, all the grass sorta died and went that colour for a little bit.

I always walked up the stone hardcore path, but walked down the grass slope.

[cham08]

The rocky path is to the right. Runs parallel to the 'stripe' no difference in distance.

We walked down the grass and up the path. Although I suspect if it is muddy will be walking down the path too.

[r0cky]

Yeah, the hardcore path is by the treeline, you can't see it on that photo. There's also a pond at the top. I was worried about biting insects, plenty were buzzing around last year in the evening, but they didn't bite me.

[r0cky]

Now I've remembered the couple of concrete steps at the bottom of the grass-slope. They'd been laid with the concrete not level, very strange standing on them.

E2A: You can see some of the Myhabs in that photo as well.

Good route, I cant decide between that route or M5 J19, A38, past Chew valley lake, A39 to Wells A371 to Shepton Mallet then the A37.

[al_coholic]

How easy is that route from the A359 through Batcombe, Evercreech & Ditcheat, checked SV and its all narrow country lanes. Was there much traffic going that way?

[r0cky]

No Myhab pass in the post for me today. They say on their Facebook to collect passes from the checkpoint in East Pennard. Last year (and I guess this year), I ended up on the one-way system off the A37, Wraxhall Road, and there was a security check-point on Box Brush Hill prior to Middleway Road. I guess a fair few people will also be going that way without passes?

Has everyone got the myhab email?

Does anyone know why they decided at such last minute to pull out... Or were they told to?

The green tent company are taking over. Anyone know anything about them? I'm really worried

[atomicplayboy]

no bullshit

taken over by green tent company

email just received:-

Dear Customer,

Due to recent and unforeseen events Myhab will not be running the campsite this year.

Glastonbury Festival was made aware of these events on Friday afternoon. Glastonbury Festival made the decision to appoint The Green Tent Company to take over the management of the site to provide the accommodation and facilities that you had previously booked through us, although myhabs will not be present.

Your accommodation booking is confirmed and no action is required on your part. The Green Tent Company staff will meet you on arrival at Pennard Hill Farm to check you in. The site will be open from 9am on Wednesday 22nd.

Anyone who has not received a car pass in the post will be able to collect one from a representative at the security roadblock on Cockmill Lane, East Pennard, BA4 6TR.
