Where are you now on the A37?

Just moved about 2 miles really quickly! Don't know why! Caught up with my brother who had walked ahead. Not far to go - hope you can see the image to see where I am.

Is it worse coming north or south on the A37? We are heading north just off the A303, haven't barely moved an inch in 30 mins.

Any news on kidney mead?

Well We've just got back to Cirencester after spending 13 hours travelling and getting nowhere fast. Left at 7 last night and got to Shepton Mallett just after 9. At 6.15 still in Shepton on the A37 having gone approx. 700 yards in 5 hours  and with it pissing down (again) decided to g home and try again tomorrow.

I know the weather has been a bit of a disaster for them this year but the late decision to delay camper field opening into the middle of the rush hour was I think a bit of a cock up as I don't think it gave the ground much more time to recover and from what ive read on other threads there was no extra work done on those like adding straw, hardcore etc.

Oh well its supposed to stop raining soon so fingers crossed. Will have another go tomorrow. Gutted we're not there but congrats to everyone who's made it - and commiserations to anyone still on the A37

Terrible isn't it we are still stuck on a37. Left Manchester at 7pm

We're quite a bit further back, but knock on effect is we're moving a bit! 

[Mezhyp1]

We are on the A37, 6 miles from the festival, and they're expecting it to take us 8 hours to get there, slowly becoming fucking miserable

What time did you start queuing? We've been in it since just before half past 6. Hasn't been too bad really. Feel sorry for those who had to wait overnight.

How's it looking at the moment everyone? Wanting to head to the bronze gate coming from the south west. Want to get there today as we need to collect our tickets there.

Went through Wells in the end after turning around. Flew in!

Yep I think that was a good idea. If you are north of Shepton on the A37 and don't mind switching to West car parks I think you will possibly get in quicker.

Anyone know how oxlyers is looking? We are still at fleet services because SEE lost our tickets. My mates just reported that traffic appears to be moving quickly now but have a feeling we ain't gonna get our spot in oxlyers.

[JamieKThomas]

Came from Swansea along the M5 and then on to the A39,  we were there for about 5:30, cued for about 45 mins and ended up in Hitchin Hill by 7:30, tent set up and the first spliff to be smoked.  

 

Really feel for you guys who have been waiting so long,  I would encourage you to stick it out though because you've come this far.  

 

Good luck all good you can get in safe and sound

Reckon we joined the queue about 7-7:30ish, just moved a significant amount and now 4 miles out but at a standstill again. Hoping it's temporary! Yes definitely feel sorry for those who have queued all night

Ticket and coach from Taunton coach leaving time 9.15am 2 coaches left on time ours has still not arrived!! Would prefer to be stuck in traffic than stranded in a car park!! 

[Abensie]

Thanks for the oxlyers update guys. Fingers crossed.

[ManchesterGlasto]

I thought leaving Manchester at 7pm would see me right into Big Ground. Looking bloody impossible now still on a37 couple of miles out. So where would people recommend to camp?

[paulmuchmore]

On Pylle Lane after 4 hours 45. Just said on the radio they're letting out the camper vans from holding at Bath and West so may get a little busier again. 

[Mezhyp1]

We are here, engine off, not moving
