Things to Get Excited About

[sjp61]

That first tinnie after the tent is up!

Soaking in the atmosphere on the first walk around the site

The view from Flagtopia

Discovering new bands / acts

Feeling the heat from the Arcadia afterburners!

Etc etc..................

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the cider bus, chilling out at the stone circle, wandering through the greenfields, exploring the alleys in shangri la, and basically just getting wrecked.

Someone else said but the sound of the doors on the long drops. It must be wrong to get excited about long drops!! And the cheers going around the site on Wednesday. First drink of cloudy, non-fizzy cider. Crepes.

Looking forward to everything but nothing compares to watching the sun rise at the stone circle with your friends after you've had a great night

[Zoo Music Girl]

The moment when you first see the site as you drive over the brow of the hill on the road. I always think "There it is. I'm home."

Digging up our treasure that we buried on the farm on a visit last Summer!

We have done this twice now and our Son loves digging for it (£ coin!!) Finding it and then spending it at the ice cream van!!

I could smell a bonfire earlier and our neighbours were barbecuing when I got home. Those smells set me off.

THe dreams have already started. Last night Glastonbury was actually on in my home town and I had to walk past my old school to get between the stages.

Arriving at the site for the first time and still not being prepared for the sheer size and vibe of the place.

Getting the tents set up and sitting down for my first drink.

Wondering around the whole site and taking everything in for the first time.

Seeing an act on the legendary Pyramid Stage.

The goosebumps I know I will have during Portishead.

Had my first dream the night i got the ticket, was just making up places in my subconscious.

N cheers caroldecker, the map eased some worries that everything would be on opposite sides of each other. I don'd mind on going on large walks but can imagine a certain person in my company wouldn't be too impressed with mile long treks. Very excited now, think this festival is gonna kill my chances of a decent degree.

I always get a bit emotional as i first get a glimpse of the site and when I walk in.

I agree the sound of the clanking longdrops doors is something you can only associate with GF. I love it!

I love weds and thurs, mooching around, instantly forgetting about work, switching off, stumbling across things, meeting up with old glasto friends...

I'm just excited about every bloody thing!

I like walking around the site on the Wednesday and watching it all come to life

[ladybird33]

I'm glad someone else does! At the risk of sounding clichéd its the feeling of coming home!

[SNUBBLE]

That's exactly it!

[Mrs*E*]

I think maybe we should add to our packing list, box of tissues

[Mrs*E*]

on another note, can we please have signs of activity at the Festival, i.e. fence and web cam - which is a really odd thing to request I know but it means solid proof for me that it's actually happening

I have know got all my booze and shifts of from work, so i can go on site from the Monday and chill on honeymoon before the weekend.

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

I'll be getting the Vodka at the weekend for the infusions, then it'll be festival nic-nac shopping, followed by the release of the map. Then the rest of the line-up will come out, accompanied with a mock pack, a visit from my postman with out tickets... then we're off!

(At least that's what I hope will happen)

[nh1980]

Opening the first beer and looking round at the sea of tents.

Atmosphere on first 2 nights when people are setting up and a Mexican "cheer" gets started on your site.

Wandering around and sitting down with booze in hand wherever you want! The variety of food available at all sorts of unorthodox times

Getting lost in the south east corner on Friday nights and taking silly photos in the random installations everywhere

Just the freedom of it!

On Wednesday we'll be able to say 'it's next month'...
