JanieM28 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 10 minutes ago, TheNewUnion said: Cannards Grave roundabout. Another 30 minutes of going nowhere. You can see people's patience is starting to wear thin now. Michael Eavis on the radio saying there's no problem, traffic flowing into site will, only problem is everyone turned up early.... Which radio station are you listening to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugworth Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm in. Couldn't tell you where but I'm in. Joint, pot noodle bed. Set up in the morning. How's everyone getting on down the roads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewUnion Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 It was BBC Somerset. Turned it off now as I've not got the patience for EU debate at this time of night. It's raining now too. What a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeble Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 In, van levelled, gazebo up, in E16, ok bit of a walk but should be easier to get out on Monday, really not sure what the hold up is, just volume I think, no security checks, cursory look at tickets, caravans struggling on the wet grass, no mud in E16. Had no choice, just told where we are going, no layout of pitches, we are pretty much hemmed in but we are in no rush on Monday. joined the queue at 1740 got in about 0240, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travistee Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Still queuing coming up to blue gate. I hope we get in at sunrise can't see a bloody thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugworth Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 On the way through the field we get the strong smell of clutch coming through the window. We are all joking about the old van in front. Turned out to be ours. Fuck sake! Monday is going to be a nightmare. Got 5 days of Glasto until then so really couldn't give a shit right now.

ClementsMike Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Im on the blue route in a campervan , heading towards the drop off / B&W Showground . Slowly crawling for 6? hours now . Napping , moving, napping etc . Suns coming up now. I'm pretty patient but tbh, this is a proper fuck up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**claire** Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 14 hours since we left home. Still on the A37 just past canards grave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewUnion Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Dead stop again. Call it 10 hours give or take a few minutes. Think it'll be at least 7 am before we see Pylle Lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieKThomas Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 anyone know how the a39 is looking? Heading down the M5 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**claire** Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 How long from the Highlander does anyone know? I'm convinced they'll reach a point where they just say there's no more usable field space & turn us all away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiepougher Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 We joined the A37 queue 11 miles out at 2am and moved maybe a mile since then. Quite a few cars turning round. One guy told us the hold up was due to camper vans stuck in the mud. Nothing we can do but wait and be thankful we haven't brought the kids! Hubby reckons if we're on by tea time we should be happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adster Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 After staring at the blue turn off for almost exactly an hour while not a single vehicle moved they've let a bunch of us through. It's 3 hours since we reached the A37/A361 roundabout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teejdee Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 A39 is pretty good. Only hit traffic about a mile or so before the car parks. Moving slowly but shouldn't be too long. Certainly nothing like the East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

**claire** Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Giving serious consideration to going home. A shit end to my 6th & last Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I know it's easy for me to say, but hang in there, guys. This sounds like an almighty fuck up from the organisers, but it'll be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie G Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Jesus, just got up to head down from the north and reading this am currently looking for secret tunnels on the map. What a total cluster fuck.....feel for you all..... Hopefully I will get in before Friday... Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
**claire** Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I think if we could get out of this stationery traffic we would be halfway home by now. Not a fucking word from official channels - makes me sick! We've not moved for 45 minutes again now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KryziF Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hang in there guys, vehicles are going into the East camper van fields pretty steadily, you will make it in the end. Stops that seem like nothing is moving is because camper vans have got stuck. They've got people towing it just takes time. It took us about 6 hours to get from the a361 a37 roundabout into the fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
