Pyramid looking lovely in winter hibernation today, and the wood without foliage

You've made me want to go for a wander on the farm @Ayrshire Chris. I was going to wait until spring but I reckon a nice winter walk might be needed now.

Yes,cold, frosty but sunny. And quite a few sheep as well as the cows. Just the small matter of a 450 mile drive home tomorrow!

Yeah shame we couldn't make it work before the festival this year, we'll do it next year 🙂

Hi Guys,

I'm staying near the site 27th-29th Dec with my girlfriend and dog in a cottage.

Going to walk the site (obvs!) - is the skate park the place to park my car and from there where is the best route in?

@Ayrshire Chris  Any tips? 🙂 

Will be taking the dog on the lead with me, and my girlfriend hates big crowds so will never go to the festival itself but wants to see all of the site as she loves watching it on TV. 🙂 

Hoping to get a pic with the hound in front of the Pyramid if possible!

Yes skate park though we had booked a meal in the crown pub and as it was midweek they kindly let us park there. Some of the site understandably fenced off due to cows and sheep.  Half way home now ! 
I would avoid the concrete road from red gate that goes down past Park farm, lots of farm traffic not associated with the festival use it.

We have booked a meal at The Crown for the 1st night we are there and will then visit the site the following day. 

What route did you walk onto the site from The Crown pub?

Down the hill opposite the Crown, Through the woods down past the tithe barn following the public footpath.

You could also go down Hitchin Hill and through the style on to the site at the covered long drops.

Ok thanks mate, I will have a good look at google maps when I have a chance to work out our route! 🙂

Sounds great, if you have time and want some exercise to work off all that food climb the Tor and try and spot the peak of the pyramid in the distance.

Yes, they do help! Or the sun in a certain direction glinting off it. Or takes photo where you think it is, and then enlarge it.

We will have our dog with us so will take him up the Tor...hope his little legs can handle those steps (he's a Jack Russell Terrier)

You never know might even see Emily Eavis out and about taking photos for instagram when we walk the Farm! 😄

More likely to get  a cheery wave from the smiling grey bearded driver of an old land rover as he drives past. 😉😊

The Natterjack does excellent food and one of the best Sunday roast around here.
