I wasn't even there this year and I still find the dismantling of the site f'ing depressing! 

Lol, I was thinking exactly the same and I wasn't there this year either. Kinda sad seeing all the vendor stalls all shut up after 5 days of madness and the camping fields slowly emptying. Weird feeling seeing that from home. I know if I was there I would just feel knackered now and want to get offsite now to get the obligatory KFC from Gordano services along with the other thousands of Glasto punters!

I think people are definitely spending a little more on their tents these days, and as a result are much more likely to take them home.

 

Every other tent is now a F&B, and although not overly expensive, they are much more likely to be packed away than cheap £20 efforts. The number of cheap ASDA types (remember the old black and red ones?) definitely seems to be a lot lower.

Thought this tent had been abandoned early on, turns out there were 2 guys in it at the time 😂

 

Obviously got a bit too warm in there, as by Sunday they'd cut massive slits in the sides (so it looked like a sh*t birdwatching hide). It was still there when we left on Monday

Lol - I've seen little tents pop up that are basically collapsed and someone basically comes back at 6am every morning and just pulls the whole mess over them like a blanket, sleeps it off then vanishes from midday for another manic substance fuelled night. Respect.

On the Saturday morning 1 of them was sleeping outside and half on top of the tent (neighbours put out a towel over a camping chair to stop him burning to a crisp). The 1 still in the tent wasn't happy.

There was one abandoned near me that was exactly the same tent. Must be a poor design 😅

    • Considering how popular of a booking Scooter have been I think they'd go down well
    • I mean I think unless you are camped in a particular bit which apparently you just get no sleep i feel it would be better setup to travel in from a hotel each day and back. Ah there is so many downfalls to it for me, I think the Download main stage area is so much better and that's coming from me. If you're camped in green to go round all the time and out for lidl and even water is stupid!
