Was very baked on the Thursday smoked waaaaaay too much of the funny stuff and had a whitey but was grand the rest of te weekend.

Legs are killing from prancing around like bambi on stilts in the skippy mud but it was brill when it dried out.

Lovely to see ye all though! Sacrifices were made a plenty this year so next year is going to be a scorcher!

Good to have met you all :-)

No rest for me, I had orders for school sandwiches this morning at 6.30 :-(

Cleaning the van and repairing a new leak now, in the blazing sun.

Next stop Beacons Festival and Ile de Ré. Whoop!

I'm OK, thanks Woffy. Apologies for not making the Thursday meet up - I was too far away both in physical and mental terms.

A very big thanks goes to mattyc1965 who got us our tickets. One of the tickets he got was for someone who hadn't been to Glastonbury on his own for 15 years due to family commitments. To say that he had a ball would be an under statement of spectacular proportion. The bloke was, quite literally, gurgling at times with happiness.

Hello all! It was excellent to meet you, sorry I didn't meet all of you. I had a great time Thursday hanging out with a few of you. Phones and brains not working properly meant I didn't manage to meet anyone again unfortunately.

Have spent most of the time back home asleep! It was my birthday yesterday too, will make up for that at the weekend.

I hope our glasto virgins had a bloody great time!

Jeffie, only took a year to finally meet you, glad we did though :)

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
