What to do on the Wed/Thurs?

[oneeye]

Reading this thread makes me wish that tomorrow was Wed 26th June; triggered some great memories from recent years

[garokev]

Wednesday morning/early afternoon - Set up camp, go back to the car for more gear.

Wednesday afternoon - Give my newbies the tour, visit Brother cider bar.

Wednesday evening - Cider bus and meeting randoms, get smashed.

Thursday morning/early afternoon - hangover recovery, eat bacon, go up the hill, mooch around the stalls

Rest of Thursday - Brothers bar, cider bus then the naughty corner

[Avalon_Fields]

apparently so, i think there was something on here about it a month or two back.

After pitching tent, having too many pear ciders at Brothers Bar and meeting old festival friends

Thursday, exploring healing fields and doing something interesting at the craft fields, and later some music maybe the Tiny Tea Tent or Croissant Neuf.

Wednesday is set up camp, have a beer at the tent, think how lucky we are to be 'home for a few days'. Then time to wander around, check what's changed, find where all our favourite food stalls are, do some shopping. This year we are taking a couple of friends, one has been since the 90s the other never so will show them round. Usually end up at 'FlagTopia' with a few tins. A nice mellow evening. Thursday is anice lie in and more of the above, usually have arranged to meet up with others we know at the Real Ale Bar late afternoon. Last few times spent evening in Bourbon Street, will look for something else. In 2011 ended up at Spirit of 71 stage where A Guy Called Gerald was DJing, who knows this year - Granmaster Flash having a Block Party? Most of all just enjoying it all!

On the thursday last time we went into the hare krishna tent just to sit down somewhere and a bloke sat next to us and said he was just resting too but he was coming up on acid

We then went next door to cubana and there was a live cuban band on. Discovered how fantastic salsa music is when you're shitfaced.

You can only experience these kind of things in glastonbury...

Fluffy Rock Cafe was a good laugh hearing some rock music in the evening instead of the usual DJs was great fun.

Anyone know the name of the horrible bar with the sunken bench seating that plays music far too loud?

[jackarmy]

don't know the name, but i agree it was horrible. the whole sunken bench idea made things much more difficult than necessary.

[rhysieg]

weds daytime is setting up and then going for a wonder round site, last year we managed to get into shangri la (which is closed on wednesdays) by blagging the guy on the gate that one of our mates was seasick steve - worked a treat! surprisingly little to see in there though, everything was under construction, crazy how much they still have to put up on the wednesday, you would think it would all be done before people actually arrive.

wednesday night is definitely a stone circle night. i will probably have a test of some of the wares that are for sale and sit and have a laugh up there.

on thursday there are many bars open with music playing and the park, shangri la, the dance village and arcadia are open till late, so there is loads to see and do. (i think arcadia is in the dance village this year though rather than its own field, im sure i read that somewhere)

[fatyeti24]

Was it the Kasbah? On the stretch towards West Holts?

[pie_and_a_pint]

I need something for the wednesday, last year we kinda walked about near the other and the park but there wasnt too much going on.On th

Thursday last year i think i spent most of the day time looking around the green fields/healing fields/craft stuff etc..ended up by stone circle and chilled.

probably not much help

[mr jolly]

The bar with the sunken benches was between other stage and west holts near the orange chill and charge. They did a free glass of ice if you bought a drink there which was handy for the warm beer on the sunday

[mike46]

Same as most people for me, wander round enjoying the sights and meeting people.

Wednesday night will be my groups now traditional sunset to sunrise at the stone circle

[halfpint]

Wednesday set up camp and then go for a massage to get rid of rucksack aches and pains. Then bimble, wander, drink and be merry. I like going up the hill behind the rabbit hole and just taking in everything. Thursday - more of the same!

Almost forgot, in 11 we found the St Austell Brewery bar and enjoyed a fine pint and sing song so will be going back there.

[coma girl]

Yeah its Kasbah with the sunken seats, they aren't too bad until you've had a few, the table tops balanced on kegs are a bit iffy too but its good fun in there.

[bigbilly]

head to flagtopia weds night to take the view in. looking forward to taking my newbie mate up there. First time I've ever been without the missus this year, going with the lads so whatever I do its gonna be a messy one!

[ian the worm]

Tuesday, arrive before you lot arrive. Wednesday work whilst watching you lot arrive. Thursday work now you lot have arrived.

[ghandi]

I love to relax a bit after the hassle of getting in and putting the tent up on the Wednesday, just soaking the feeling that your there again, and hopefully with some rays just sit back with a cider and take in the view. Possibly Bimble about a bit in the evening, take in some of the real ale pubs. Thursday will be a bit more active, we have a newbie this year and will enjoy showing him the vastness of this site, possible go up to the Park and take in some of the partying up there. I think i do more walking about on the Thursday than any of the other days.

[ogriff]

Mooch.

That's about it really.

Oh, and drink either from either Brothers bar or Cider bus, and laugh my backside off with friends.

Mooch.

A bit more mooching.

[Gnomicide]

Flagtopia Wednesday afternoon to get the stupid fixed grin put in place that stays for the rest of the festival.

Cider Bus Wednesday evening for shits and giggles* and meeting people with stupid names of the internet.

Thursday wander the whole site, mooch around the green fields, back to flagtopia to reinforce the grin, take in a few bands on the bandstand then on to Stonebridge Bar for a massive singalong to all sorts of shite.

*anyone?
