Don't leave if for the festival if you have not already done so!!!!

[Heartbreaker]

This has just been posted Facebook, Twitter, The Glastonbury homepage is just displaying this warning. 

Be safe everyone!

Anyone else see the irony that Glasto website has been changed 'due to high traffic' 

[kalifire]

Not sure why it's taken them this long.

Surely somebody had the foresight to see this happening when they delayed the campervan car park opening?

[slash's hat]

Was planning on leaving from glos about 10, but will push that back now, rather sit it out at home than the car. Really feel for those out there. Seriously considering writing today off and go tomorrow.

[**claire**]

They should have delayed last night's car park opening when they delayed the campervan opening. It's too little too late.

We're travelling down from Liverpool. It's a long drive so don't want to not set off but equally don't want to sit at home! Think we're going to set off and see how things are looking when we're about half way and might end up stopping somewhere for lunch/a little explore and coming to the site later than planned

[Larraht]

We're going to leave Plymouth at 8am and head to Taunton. Chill there for a bit and wait for news of how the traffic is. Once things start moving again we will head to site. Feel for those in the traffic jam. Keep the faith - we will all be there soon.

[coughedoutmyheart]

Currently at Glastonbury premier inn. Think we will see what traffic is like when we have to set off at 12.

I'm in one of the coaches and we've been stationary in Glastonbury for a while now. Bus driver is wandering around outside.

I think it will ease before long, but it sounds that bad at the moment they are now trying damage limitation to try and stop more people adding to the problem. You'd assume by mid-late afternoon everything will be fine, as it is normally by about midday anyway. Obviously opening the CV gates at 6pm has been a disaster but it sounds like the vast majority of CVers ignored the 6pm time anyway which clearly hasn't helped.

National express? I thought the coaches went a different way

No it's one of the see coaches. Think he was trying avoid the worst of the traffic.

We are heading from liverpool as well was going to leave at 8 but will hold off a bit hoping it thins out

Not too bad if you're not the designated driver, get stuck in to the festival goodies and start the party!

[Glastonlocal]

A friend of mine who usually works the tractors that help pull cars from the mud (usually leaving the site on Monday) told me that they'd ended their contract this year as they hadn't been needed the last few years. Now, it may be that they've been replaced at the last minute, or it may be that there's no tractors to help cars out of the mud. 

[Tuttifrutti]

heading from isle of Wight, we've been at a family wedding can't really delay journey as booked on 11.00am ferry. We'd normally travel from Durham, anyone recommend somewhere to stop with caravan on route?

[moheetoes]

We are en route from Northwest, set off at 5:30 am, think we'll have a leisurely breakfast when we first stop on M5

[al_coholic]

I dont think this is going to ease by the afternoon. I think this is going to be busy well into the evening. There are people queuing from 10+ miles away on the A37 side and sounds like back through Glastonbury town on the A361. 

[Crystal Waters]

We were going to set off from Sheffield now but we will delay a couple of hours then set off. Want to get past Bristol before evening rush hour then we will review and may delay arrival until tomorrow. Thanks for all the updates everyone - it means the rest of us can try not to add to the chaos.

[Dave_c]

Was planning to leave Peak District at about 12, may hold off until around 2 or 3 now. 

[Wallace]

I was originally gutted that I had to work today and have to arrive tomorrow for the first time but this eases the anger a little.  Hope everyone makes it there in good time though, see you all tomorrow!

[TheParkAfterDark]

For those travelling from more than a couple of hours away and approaching from the M5 I'd suggest heading to Taunton if things haven't eased. Nice town where at least you can have a wander round, get a bite to eat etc and once things calm down you're only 20 miles or so from the site. 

Good luck everyone ☺

Just set off on the coach from Manchester, hope things aren't too bad by the time we get down there. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

There's a campervan holding area been set up at Bath & West Showgrounds.
