Same. We've been stuck for ages and I don't know what we'll do if we have to turn back. Is there any update on how the bus works from B&W to the site? Would it be a 24hr thing?

I wasn't there I came from the opposite direction... just got got my sticker and it's suddenly moving a lot quicker, maybe something got unstuck? i can hear the festival it's agonising!

geoffboycott Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I'm now sat on the shuttle bus from the showground, vv slow going towards the site (northbound A37), standstill going south. Shuttle bus is 24hrs, but seems it's going to take a while before I get in to the festival, usually it takes 10 mins from showground to gate A, but it's been 35 mins and not even on the A361 yet!!!

autoinflate Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Just went thru gate onto metal tracks, they checked my towing hook and said most likely will be towed into final position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvrobbie Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Glastoinfo twitter feed just said there's still space in East CV and that although it's slow going, people will get in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autoinflate Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 From entering the small lane it's taken me 2 hours to get to where I am now, which is in a queue of vans just inside the gate in CV east 14. im not sure of our final destination so can't say how much longer at this stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we're too far ahead of you - it moves quicker once you're on the lane. We've just got our cv sticker, so hoping not too much longer...

autoinflate Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Completely ground to a halt now....I heard someone saying someone's broken down my mates keep phoning me from bars in site, it's torture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoinflate Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Some people saying there's barely any space left and tractors can't even get to some areas. Someone else said they're trying to flatten out mud for access. just moved a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvrobbie Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 New update. Campers being redirected from east CV to B&W showground again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SophieBee Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 We're in a cv field! still on the tracks so it may take some time I guess, but we are in at least. Might make it on to site before dark! But the sun is shining and we are finally at the festival, so my spirits are high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoinflate Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I just got parked up in e14 at the side of the track, i.e not in a regular spot in the field - there's just nothing left, the only open spots are mashed up by tractors. this will have to do, better than nothing sorry to say that anyone still outside the cv fields prob won't have much chance of getting in, tho I might be wrong good luck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably about 20 mins away - we are moving on and off, but not clear yet where we'll park up. We're in E14 I think. Hope we'll find something soon... Keeping fingers crossed for you, us and everyone else in the queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvrobbie Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Don't suppose anyone in London knows someone that would hire me their camervan for the weekend? I just went to leave my carpark in London and the exhaust muffler has fallen off my campervan. I'm now sat back in my flat urgently looking at repair options or last minute hire options and laughing liek a crazed person. Its f-ing ridiculous.

M!!! Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Been at the Showground about an hour - everyone here is telling us we will definitely get on site maybe tonight if not tomorrow, Glastoinfo seem to think we will be here for the weekend... No idea if to put awning up and get settled or be ready to leave at a moments notice, can our driver have a drink or will we then miss our opportunity to get on site?!!! So gutted right now, to me this is not the festival it's a dumping ground... Edited June 23, 2016 by M!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewUnion Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 We've settled in at Bath and West Showground. No intention of moving. It's lovely here. Lots of space, decent toilets, showers. I'd definitely pay to stay here next year. Beautiful evening, buses run 24 hours from tomorrow to Sunday/Monday in a much better place than this time yesterday. If you're here, I wouldn't bother trying to get on site now, just enjoy the space and comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
