Wednesday

[Crystal Waters]

Now that we are in double digits in the countdown ..... I was wondering what is everybody's favourite thing to do on Wednesday night? I'm not sure we made the most of the first night last time (2013) so plan to be better organised this time.

Catching up with friends at the cider bus

Walk about and get pissed. It really is that simple.

It's the one day I have absolutely no plan. Any other day its "I wouldn't mind doing x, y or Z". Wednesday is a wander about day.

I just go for it.

It's my favourite day of the year. The combination of feeling excited because your back there, copious drink and everything else is just the best feeling.

By Wednesday night I'm usually trying to climb out of a mamouth trough due to having too much 'fun' during the day!!

[Pinhead]

Turn up at eFests meet too far gone already and annoy everyone...

[found home in 2009]

I couldn't arrive till Thursday last year, and can't remember what the script was the years before, is the South East corner normally open on the Wednesday night?

I'm trying to learn from lessons last year, when it comes to Wednesday. In 2014, I abandoned my camping strategy because I hadn't realised the walk from Gate A would be such a killer. I parked myself in a position that ended up being totally fine - neighbours weren't social but they weren't twats either, so I'll take that. Then I proceeded to get sunburnt (it was actually lovely and sunny on the Wednesday afternoon), and start drinking. I drank way too early, trying to get into the spirit of things, then staggered into some (rubbish) silent disco where I was given 'looks' for singing to the power ballads, and generally being overtly friendly by joining groups to dance with. I suddenly became self-conscious and abandoned the disco, staggered about a bit more, then collapsed in my tent which I'd amazingly managed to find. Woke up with blank spaces instead of memories and a sense of both regret and rejection. Urgh.

It was last year. Was only firing at 50% ish. Not too many places open. Some closed or partially open.

[Mr November]

Bimble. Sunset on the stone circle hill. Try to overcome the agony my shoulders are in.

[Hugh Jass]

As others have said, just wander around getting pissed. No timetable, no real need to be anywhere, just see where you end up.

Standard is a stop at the Brother's Bar, dance at The Bandstand and then Stone Circle for fire works... but I'd quite like to venture elsewhere this year. I didn't realise there was anything open in the SE corner really on Weds, so may suggest a wander that way for Weds eve. Weds is awesome - endless possibilities for the weekend ahead!

[stocky3000]

Taking first timers up to the flags at the park and telling them to not turn round until they are at the top

[Chewie]

Drink cider, chill out at the bandstand for a bit, wander around, then crash after having to wake up at stupid o'clock to try and beat the traffic down to the site (never works)

[let's 'ave it!!!]

Are there actually fireworks at the stone circle? Couldn't remember if I imagined hearing them or not.

My memories from Wednesday last year are hazy, wandered round pretty much all day drinking until I came to an inglorious black out in the Avalon field at some point

[The Nal]

There was a huge fire up behind the Stone Circle last year.

[toppo]

Leave the baggage of everyday life somewhere on the M5 South and open the cavernous treasure chest of joy and wonderment that this weekend holds for me once I see the Tor (first to see the Tor is boss)

Get tent sorted over a still cold Stowford Press once the house keeping is in order time to have a bimble and get my bearings usually get a bigger map from info points and see whats changed probably over another cider or 3 (but its all about pace) then meet up with some G virgins we know and slowly gravitate towards the stone circle ready for sunset and the burning of the phoenix followed by fireworks making sure I am suitably pickled by time they finish and then bimble into the night and see where we end up.

[Leggins]

I try and have a kip in the tent after arriving at 0700, queuing up and pitching the tent. Makes for a better Wednesday all round I feel.

[MrHew]

Aye, just a bimble around, have a few drinks, eat some food and generally explore. If we do make it this year we'll have a 1 year old in tow so the bimbling might be extra slow this year!

[trainwreck]

Watch the sunset from the Park hill, every year.

[mr gumby]

Get in, pitch tent, catch breath, meet neighbours, collect toddler from pick up point, bimble, maybe see a band or two, go to Efests meet, climb hill above The Park and enjoy the view, bimble a little more, back to tent for sleep.

That's the theory, anyway!

[majormajormajor]

i was in the SE corner until something like 5am on wednesday night. I always regret going so hard as by sunday i am a complete mess and just want to go home :/

[Winslow Leach]

Wandered round getting pissed, went up the stone circle while the sun set, then headed over to the NYC Downlow.

If you're an early worm, one of the joys is just to watch the entire site become alive. Enjoy the people trying and failing to erect their tent. Soak up the sounds of excitement. Forget that the rest of the world exists. Crack open that first can and take the first sip with your eyes closed, relishing the taste with just the sounds of a brand new Glasto around you. Then open up your eyes and take in the sight which is your home for five of the best days of 2015. There's nothing else quite like it.

[Untz]

The usual seems to be drink too much in the afternoon and go for a nap, which turns into a 12 hour sleep.

Although last year I paced myself a bit better, including having a nap in a Glasto Latino bar, and then when I went for my proper nap I woke up a few hours later and went to the Silent Disco. The best Wednesday I've had since I spent the whole of Wednesday drinking on a coach from the North West.

I loved this last year. It was my first time working, so I'd been there since Monday. Seeing people arriving and the camping fields filling with colour was great!
