I could not believe this

[Luke The Lersh]

I've never been to Glastonbury before so when I managed to sort some tickets this year for the first time after trying the previous couple of years, I started asking myself some questions the main one was. I know everyone says the site is big but surely it can't be that big, then when I found this my heart skipped a beat.

Change the postcode and compare the size of the glastonbury site to your hometown.

Should be an overlay outline of glasto outline over your the maps of where you live...

Honnestly this makes it seem smaller to me, but that just cos I know from the two stations at either end on it I can do walk in about 25 minutes (its is how ever practically a long straight road, which glasto is not)

Get up to the top of Flagtopia on a warm sunny day and turn around, the site is incredible, its an amazing view.

that is very cool! i had never heard of BBC dimensions before, thanks OP!

[pjadnoo]

Very cool. Although Burning Man puts Glasto in the shade...

[Messi30]

Yeah but who wants to hang out in a desert for a week ?

[Party-'Scatter'!]

Love this! So excited again now!

[rhysieg]

hmmm, i think actually being on site is more impressive... i remember last year walking along from the park towards the stone circle and looking across the site left me gobsmacked... i dont know if it will have the same impression this year because last year was my first year and first day haha...

Add all the external camping areas and car parking and it increases by about 50% again . . !

[izcuje]

of course being on site would be much more impressive than looking at a yellow outline on a map of your own town

That there has made my day

[windy_miller]

Great pic but...there's nothing like seeing it for yourself the first time. For me taking in the site at night (and in person of course!) blows me away more. The twinkling of the lights far in the distance gives the impression of it being even more immense again.

I'm so excited......
