Best route from Reading


Guest Spider43

Recommended Posts

In the five years I've attended I've always gone A303 and A37 and parked up in east usually miles away as only get there on Thursday and end up camping in dairy or pylon. I don't know why it's taken five years but this year going to head to west car parks. Any ideas on best route? Map suggests there is a cut across from A37 anyone taken it or should I go M5?

I have the exact thought process. We're travelling from Reading and normally camp in Cockmill Family camping but this year we're planning West side (the hill of death being a big decider against East side).

I'm driving up Tuesday lunchtime and plan pop into Glastonbury first. A303 to Podimore, a little A37 followed by a leisurely trip through the country lanes..

Having the luxury of time is the key. Wednesday being the busiest travel day, I should'nt think a similar trip on the Thursday would be an issue.

Cheers, i cant believe its taken this long to consider it! Could only get down Thursday night last time and the walk across the site in the mud was a a nightmare as we already had friends set up our tent in Pylon!

Guessed Thursday wouldnt be too much of a problem but wasnt sure about road closures..

    • There’s a few in there which could go either way or I’m not bothered if I miss but think that’s now be pretty set.  Few rubbish clashes like Kasabian/Loyle plus Reytons/Pixies/CMAT but I’ll head with the lads to the most popular one.   (And yes no Byrne or Twigs, just can’t into either)
    • I saw somewhere they were advertising Lewis' day as him live on Glagow Green and only mentioned Amy Mcdonald and CMAT as support, 0 mention of the festival  I completely agree this will probably be the last one which is a shame because the first 2 seemed so promising and now its turned into middle of the road rubbish with acts you can see everywhere else  Anyone know if the BBC are covering it next week as it'll be fascinating to see how full (or empty) it is  
    • Did anyone catch Viagra Boys last night? A rollicking good set, with a little more free jazz than I expected.   if you’re up early, Walabi is doing a super job in the Cupra Pulse. There till six.

    • They really dropped a bollock on their lineup this year. They went with Richard Ashcroft because he did well as Oasis support - But realistically, you're not getting 50k people in a field to hear the 4 or 5 songs they know at like £70+ a ticket. Can't get my head around the Kasabian booking, either. Finsbury Park was a bold move for them, and yes it sold out, but I think you're more likely to see people make the journey to London if they want to see them rather than Glasgow. A second similar capacity show was always going to be a big ask for them.
