3 Things to accomplish 2014

[BA4 4BY]

1. Not queue up outside Gate B all Tuesday night and get no sleep

2. Not get surrounded by a group of 30+ loud 20-somethings camping on all sides of me (I arrived first and was camping alone. They were ok, just a bit loud as you'd expect!)

3. Find the Green's of Glastonbury cheese stall on Wednesday, and every other day, rather than leaving it to Sunday night as I did this year (they did a thick wedge of creamy mature cheddar on rustic wholemeal bread for something like £3, absolute bargain. Went straight back for another to take to the tent for breakfast on Monday)

P.S. Apols if this comes out funny, first time posting from my phone!

Those first two were my experience this year

The queue would have been OK if it wasn't for a group of coked up IT types loudly boasting about their coding exploits as if the queue had paid to come and see them and the car park was their stage. Tossers.

Wish I'd networked a bit more with the 20somethings who surrounded me as they were all local and reckoned they got in every year by knowing the right person to bung a hundred quid to.

1. Go to the underground piano bar when it's open.

2. Spend a night exploring other areas of the site instead of the late night corner.

3. Make something in the craft fields.

[Vieuphoria]

1 - Get Glasto ticket in resale

2 - Break Into Glasto

[swede]

1, Pass on all the headliners one night and have a night bimbling around the late night areas.

2, Score some acid/mushrooms at the stone circles - my brother said they were unreal this year.

3, Watch the sunrise at the stone circles.

[Turbo Shotgun]

1) climb tor and have a beer in riflemans after (i know technically 2 but...)

2) go in rabbit hole

3) marry emily eavis (no panic ever again on ticket day. Her old fella surely can get me in every year)

Anyone looking for piano bar just head to stone circle up the hill and and go left. The dragon is next to a little pond as you go through the gate (think over a little bridge) and piano bar just over bridge on right hand side

[Zoo Music Girl]

1. Get a ticket.

2. Get more than 2 hours sleep a night during the festival. Reckon 4 would do me.

3. Show my Glasto newbie friend all the sights and make him fall in love with it as much as I did.

Not even going to pretend I'll watch the sunrise as haven't yet in five years...

That cheese place sounds incredible! Whereabouts is that?

Never really had a list but on the Wednesday this year saw the sunrise - but at flagtopia - I much prefer this location to Stone Circle, went up the ribbon tower as there was not really a queue, and went in underground piano bar (this was on the Friday though). Great staying up all night on the Wednesday far more chilled and there is nothing much happening on Thursday for you to chill and recover.

My main thing for the past 3 years has been to see something in Cabaret and Circus tents and somehow manage to fail. This year I definitely need to do this as will probably be taking a sabbatical from Glasto for a few years.

3. Go up the ribbon tower

Every year I look at the Ribbon Tower, every year I look at the queue, every year I say "nah"

What was it like queueing? I was teasing my mate about it this week, did you end up camping somewhere decent

Don't queue! Never any need

To those wanting what is the obsession with the rabbit hole? Finding it is a piece of piss - look for the huge queue behind the ribbon tower

The question is why the huge queue for a tiny stage with mostly very random acts? Media hype leads to glasto goers wasting hours in queue...

1. Get better sleep before arrival! Knackered before I started, silly

2. Remember a camera for the occasional special moment

3. Keep up going down the front more, much more fun than stuck with less interested mates far back

[Zoo Music Girl]

It was in the Greenpeace area a few stalls down from the Save the Arctic display with the polar bear. Greens cheddar is without doubt one of the best mature cheddars I have ever eaten!

[alexmckenzie]

Just a mention, it's all well and good saying that you want to watch the sun rise at the stone circle, tried that this year after the Stones, and all there was was fog! Such a disappointment. Oh well, got to meet Thom Yorke there at 5am anyway, and will have to try again next year

[Stone_Love]

So far I've got one objecive:

A - Get through the gates at Worthy Farm. Currently ticketless.

If I get through it's definitely to do more at Shangri-La!

[JoBalls]

I'm hoping for the weather to be cool and cloudy in the mornings and then glorious in the afternoons so that we can make the most of the late night areas without the tent becoming unbearable when you need to sleep past 8am!
