Random acts of kindness

Did anyone NOT fall over this year?

Good to hear of everyone rallying round tho, but rubbish that folk were shoving and pupfish, selfish gits.

To whoever found my car keys that I had managed to drop in E21 last night and handed them in:

THANK YOU.

Don't know who you are but what you did made a big difference.

[tinpottery]

When I went for a wee in the longdrop I took extra care not to piss on the seat.

[zail]

Thanks to the people who saw me drop my doorkey just near gate C and shouted me till i stopped and then gave it back to me

Thank-you to the two lovely ladies who helped push my car through the mud of the east camping on Thursday lunchtime when I was starting to think I'd spend the weekend stuck there.

In return, helped out with a hand to plenty of others who were stuck wading through the mud over the weekend.

A big thank you to the security guy at the bottom of the park after radiohead, one of my boots came off and the other foot slid from beneath me, he grabbed me when my arse was an inch from the mud and as he stood me up he slid my foot back into the boot and then helped me down to the path... good guy

Love some of these

Saw plenty of people rescuing others from the mud this year.

Some kind lad gave us a lift up the path near the Pennards toilets with our heavy trolley on Thursday getting his hands muddy in the process - he lifted it right up over the mud and although it was only a couple of minutes it made a huge difference after it had taken us hours to get that far from West 47!

I fell over about 100 times properly deep hands in and all so many many people helped me!

Had so many people help me over a weekend of far to much indulgence

[Beccorr]

I also kind of had a good karma come back esque situation, saw a ticket folded up on top of some really thick sticky mud and thought i should pick it up to hand in to the nearest burger van as someone might retrace their steps to find it....turns out it was my bloody ticket! I must have dropped it at least 20 minutes earlier when i got my purse out to get some food!

Thanks to the group of folk who help me whilst one of my friends was stuck in the mud when her wellie fell off! I was holding her up when a great gentleman came and received her wellie from the mud and two ladies came with wet wipes to help her clean herself up a bit!

Also, at the pyramid stage after Coldplay I thought was lovely! A man helped me through the mud when I got stuck so I stuck around for 20 minutes pulling folk through (until a drunk lady pulled me down with her and I left!) haha xx

I already posted this in another topuc, but will pop it in here as it fits pretty well!

On Sunday afternoon my friend broke her leg, and got shipped off site. Unfortunatley it was her car we were all departing in and so we needed to ship out and get car and stuff home that evening. As is predictable, the rest of the group were in the middle of Beyonce with their phones off! I knew which flag they were with so decided to mission it through and get to them, and let them know.

A MASSIVE thank you to all the people who when faced with a short panicky girl frantically explaining 'my friend broke her leg we need to leave!' helped me through the crowd, pushed me through, picked me up and shunted me and generally did the impossible of getting me to the centre front of pyramid in 10 minutes and then got us out again.

If you were any of these people, you are amazing. Also the orange chill and charge team, who let me charge my phone after they shut so I could get hold of her parents and mine, and bunged me £10 worth of free credit when I panicked I was running out, the nice group of gentlemen who calmed me down with a hug and can of fosters after she was shipped to medical and I was left alone, and the ice cream man who gave me a free bottle of water at the same time.

Luckily she is now home and recovering, feeling sorry for herself, but could have been so much worse.

Glasto Spirit in full force, awesome!

I hope your friend has a speedy recovery, well done to you for keeping it together!

Thank you to everyone who helped me out of the mud. My mum bought me some new wellies for Christmas and that, coupled with how well the wine and other things were flowing in my system and my utter elation at seeing my favourite band Pulp for the first time in 9 years, meant I was all over the place Saturday night.

The four boys who pulled my welly out of the mud in Shangri-La = ACTUAL HEROS!

It is reading things like that especially after the best week of the year that really reinstate and assure my faith in mankind.

Only at Glastonbury could you get such great folk.

My first post so thought I would start with the happy vibe on this positive thread

After getting up @ 6.30 after a big last Sunday and dragging ourselves (and all our stuff) on the great hike back to the car, we hit a long traffic jam getting out of the field which just wasn't moving.

After about 15 mins a girl ran up to the queue from behind us, obviously delighted & excited about something shouting about discovering another exit. We followed her directions and sure enough were out on the road and moving within 2 minutes! we were absolutely buzzing & it was a top vibe to start the l-o-n-g journey home on.

Massive thanks to that little lady who had run about 500m back from their new exit and so delayed her own departure just to share the wealth for the benefit of others!

We got parked up at gate C Wednesday morning and when we got in the nearest place to camp was Wicket Ground. So me and my father in law got the wifes/kids camped up and settled and had to go back to the car for our second run which took 5-6 hours. The ammount of help we recieved from people on the way back with our heavily loaded trolley and bags was incredible. Stewards were helping us through thick mud, people would rush over when the trolley went over to help pick it up, it was a testament to good natured human spirit.

I have to give a special mention to a group of about 5 or 6 lads and lasses who had taken a few hours out of thier day on the Wednesday to help people with trolleys/buggys/prams ect up and down the "hill of death" next to gate C, what a help they were.

My good deeds were all torch related, helping random late night tent erectors and the like. Karma helped me find a backstage pass for the park on Saturday It was rubbish back there though.

[she bangs the drums]

I lost the sun cream that I took out with me on the Sunday morning for my 10 year old daughter who has fair skin, she was going to seriously burn up and I asked a couple of different people if I could borrow a bit of sun cream and everyone not only said yes but also really looked after her my giving her covering to the head with various hat, wrapping things around her and keeping her sheltered, offering her a seat, I could not believe how nice people were, I know a few people may have had a few bad experiences over the past few days at the festival, but for every one bad apple at Glastonbury there must be a hundred really good ones and that is why it is the best festival on the planet.

[verrymerry]

Thank you to the guy who gave me suncream on the other stage during the Noisettes when I was burning! He took one look at my back and said "that's very red, here!" Cheers!
