I am in the middle of persuading my group to head down to Ashcombe Farm on the Tuesday, if I am succesful in persuading them, we won't be arriving until around 9pm. Hopefully after we've set up camp we can then head on to the Riflemans.

(I currently have 3 yes, 1 maybe, 1 not sure it's a good idea and still waiting on the other 3)

[norainplease]

Can't wait to see every one. Will try to drag my bro and sis'nlaw + mates along.

I hope the local Pilton.com couple turn up, Lee and ???? sum'body. They are great company.

[norainplease]

what with Glasto eve being four weeks today, though I would give this a wee bumpty bump bump

[rischbrit]

Sorry but we'll be all set up in camper van field by then (all being well) will have a tin or two that night and hope to (finally) meet you all at cider bus on Wednesday!!!

[youngatheart]

if im not working i would love to come along perhaps we could share a cab pinhead

[rumpola]

Yeah I was thinking that too wishful thinking but in reality, and after a few pints, probably not doable!

[THEBOILERMAN]

Well theres 30 of us leaving Glasgow about lunch time on the tue with a plan to hit the Rilfeman`s before last orders..... so don`t drink the place dry!!!!!!!!!!

[FunkyDenz]

I've been outvoted, so we won't be making it to the Riflemans. We're now setting off at 4am on the Wednesday.

[SoCalMusicLover]

Would love to socialize at Rifleman's, but we're staying at Cannards Grave Farmhouse, which is near Shepton Mallet. Since we won't have a car, the only way we could make it, is if we caught a lift from someone.

If anybody is staying at this same b&b, or in Shepton Mallet, and are also heading to Rifleman's, then let me know please.

Supposedly there are a couple of pubs across from where we're staying, so we'll probably check out what's going on there if we get thirsty and/or bored.

[norainplease]

It'll be great to see everyone but no worries if you dont/can't make it, we can all catch up at the cider bus the next day!!

What is the village like for parking spaces the night before the festival? Were looking to head to the Riflemans and then head to the car parks at night.

[LusciousLucy]

When you say village do you mean the town of Glastonbury or little Pilton? The Riflemans is at the eastern end of G Town and parking is a bit tight but you could park in town and pootle down to the pub. Pilton on the otherhand is outside the festy site but a fair distance from G Town. It does have its own pubs (not sure if they are open the night before though). The pub at the entrance to PGA should be open.

Folks who are working... If you're camped inside the fence, check if there's a gate closing time for Tuesday night.

The schedule I have says gates close at 10pm, but isn't specific on dates this applies.

If you're outside the fence (e.g. Oxfam), check with your management. You might not be included in the 'lock down'.

Have a blast folks! Was in the riflemans at Easter. Top pub.

Normally the Monday/Tuesday night the gates close later (if at all) due to the volume of staff arriving for shifts. I might be travelling back onto site after the Riflemans (if I get a crew band on arrival Monday) or just staying at Ashcombe if not.

[Liam13th]

I've just been on street view on google maps looking at the route from Glastonbury town to the site and on the A37 just before Park Hill near Pilton I came across a white haulage truck what looked like it was carrying the frame for the big screens they use on the pyramid/other stage...

[LusciousLucy]

The Riflemans Pub is about 2-3 miles west of the festival site. Apart from booking taxis from the carparks, walking isnt an entirely safe option I shouldnt think.

[Paul ™]

Definately not the sort of road you want to walk along after a few pints of Addlestones

From The Riflemans to the entrance to the West Car Parks is 4.7 miles LINK
