tHomBleached Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Pink 56 here. Left after Coldplay and didn't get out till 1am. Not too bad really, but anyone not in a 4x4 has no chance unless yards from a metal track. Even then they've opened up new exits and haven't had time to lay metal grating so it was starting to churn Saw a lot of people desperately looking for tow-eye panel keys in boots of cars - try and find yours before you move. If you're not in a 4x4 you'll be needing it. I did see a couple of 4x4s get stuck briefly in tractor trails but they got out in a few secs. Glad I took the wife's outlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpfranks Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 We were in West 37 and literally drove straight out about 11. Almost back in Birmingham now. Not too muddy there although saw a couple of cars being towed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that part of the £30 per parking ticket would go towards that. I realise much of it goes to the farmers from whom they've leased the land...

I saw three range rovers and on Volvo xc spinning front wheels uncontrollably then suddenly march off. Must've never used the diff lock before!

rfc_478 Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) We were on the move from West 47 by 10.30- having read some of the horror stories on here last night was expecting a torturous few hours. But we were out on the road in 45 mins- far quicker than last year which was 2 hours plus. Ground a little soft but never felt in danger of getting stuck. Brilliant weekend as expected, and back well in time for the football. Tired, but happy! Edited June 27, 2016 by rfc_478 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazola Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 got to e9 car park about 10.30, took about hour and a half to get off site and on to the main roads. was very impressed with everyone, no bottle necks or attempted queue jumping, and plenty of giving way to let cars on to the metal road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is bloody ridiculous. I took my 12 year old for an off road land rover experience (massive treat) and it would have easily coped with the conditions onsite, they can do amazing things, at one point we were vertical into a slidy, muddy ditch and it was fine.

fingers_mark Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) W57 exit good at 9.30am. Also fine arriving on Weds. A303 at Glastonbury 8.30am. Car park by 10.15am and tents up by midday. All pretty good but friends had problems - particulary on buses. Only a couple of spells of heavy rain, mainly drizzle and the mud was an annoyance, particularly when trying to get about at night - but not as bad as '07 or '11.

I think the problem for the posh 4x4s is threefold: 1) profile of the tyres that are standard on cayennes (sp), Range Rover sports etc are not the type that can cope with much 2) over-inflated tyres 3) as previously said I saw a few people not actually in 4WD lock I had some crappy toyo tyres on but let some air out a few days ago for one reason or another and forgot to reinflate. There's not much my motor couldn't have coped with yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie_and_a_pint Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Left at 4.30pm in the end. Out of purple easily - lots of stuck cars and mud, but lots of empty grass too so straight onto tracks, through East and onto the road in 20 mins. Home in 2 hours. Easy one, thankfully. Bath and bed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bekimo Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 The problem with 4x4's getting stuck in the mud is usually operator error! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilduck Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 We were in West 53 and got to the car about 3:30pm when luckily everything was mostly dry. It took us about 45 mins to get out and then everything was smooth sailing back to London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
