Queue to get out

[Aliii]

Anyone sitting waiting to leave? It's taken 2 and 3/4 hours to move from east2 to 3 just waiting to get into east1.

No one seems to know what's going on. Absolute joke.

[laid back in the sun]

possibly due to lots of traffic leaving at the same time... just a thought

[Aliii]

Yeah but it's not moving at all...

Up and packed away by 6 am drove straight out of car park it's the future. Guess that's no help now tho

we were out of the car park in less than 5 minutes this year. Parked in E11. Home and showered!

When we walked through e1 at about 6.30 this morning it was very churned up - one man was stuck & asked the lone steward how he could get a tow out - he was told there was no way to call one & he'd just have to hope one turned up!

We drove out from e5 through e6(?) - e9 etc & was ok but it was early - hope you get out soon!

We finished loading the car at about 9:30 this morning, was out on the main roads by about 9:45.... not a single queue at all. Having said that right at the start I got told to turn round and go the other way by 2 different people at each end of East 5 - had to explain to the second one that I'd just been sent from the direction she was pointing me before she'd let me through

When you do get out of the car parks you might want to avoid taking the road from Wells to Bristol. I've just come back from Bristol on the bus and there is a very slow moving traffic tailback from Bristol to Farrington Gurney.

It almost looks like they are letting traffic out in batches as it was clear from Farrington Gurney into Wells then chocker again from Wells to Coxley.

Traffic in Bristol in its usual heavy self so it may be that each batch leaving the festival is joining the back of the queue to get into Bristol.

We were the lone car leaving west carparks at 10.30pm last night. Was it busy later on? One steward told us the roads out of the carparks would be like the M25 by 11,30pm. Did anyone experience this?

Had been asking stewards all weekend which way we would be directed out at the end of the festival, but they had no info. We had needed stewards to push us into the carpark through the mud and was concerned in advance about possibly getting stuck on our way out In the end on Sunday evening they said I could choose to go out the way I'd come, or round a sharp turn (which would have been impossible in the mud 24 hrs earlier)and down a good track. We opted for the sharp turn , and breezed straight out.

Sorry if you're still stuck. If its any consolation I'm still floating on planet Tired after a long drive home, unable to do anything very constructive at all.

Think I was extemely lucky with traffic as didn't experience any traffic what so ever. Arrived about 11.45 Wednesday and the only queue I was in was the car park fields and left about 10.30 and straight out.

I was parked in E6 and got in and out via purple route.

We left East 2 at 05.15 this morning and there was naff all traffic. Leave early, avoid the queues.

I left gate a at about 11.30 last night after QOTSA, to the car in west 51 by about midnight and got straight out. Home by 2am! 100 miles give or take.

East 8 for me - same sort of time at car. One hour to road.

Problem for you I think (OP) is that you had to pass through all the other carparks on the way out - and every moment you were in the back of the line, new people were coming into the sides in the carparks ahead.

I for example probably got into the line for the exit ahead of you as my carpark was further down the line.

Did wonder how it was going to work for those in East 1 - guess I've got the answer - not very well!

Not that this helps of course!

Hope you're back now at least.
