p.pete Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Wednesday night (late) to Sunday evening (not too late) an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2SO Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I would say Sunday, because Wednesday and Thursday are both very similar days... Whereas you could miss out on a lot of bands on the Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Actually, when I went on the Wednesday, I did see a munted teen making a mooing noise while vomiting over his mate's legs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whisty Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Wednesday is great but it's a nothing day. Sundays horrible for a few reasons, but of course it's a special for many more reasons, be there for the Sunday i'd say or you'll miss the night of the redhead .

uscore Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 One distinction I've noticed in this thread are that the pro-Sunday gang are more likely to tell you to choose Sunday, possibly whilst insulting or mocking those who prefer Wednesday, whilst the pro-Wednesday group will more often just offer the reason why they personally prefer going on Wednesday. Make of that what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Amazing_Oblong Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'm usually hanging out my own arse by Sunday but I'd still take it over a Wednesday every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmb1992 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Wednesday is awesome! In a good year when you are in early(ish) and have the whole 5 days ahead of you - there's such a feeling of excitement coming off of everyone! We're all fresh fresh faced and bushy tailed.

uscore Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 That's true. I've arrived once on a Thursday and I was all like WAHEY, and it felt like everyone else was acclimatised already and I was completely out of step with them.

I am Jon Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Wednesday is normally one of the best for me provided I can get onsite by mid afternoon, if traffic is a nightmare it can be a write off by the time tent is pitched. Think part of the reason Wednesday is normally better is it's tends to be relatively mud free. By Sunday last year was just exhausted and hardly anywhere to sit. A mud free Sunday may top it though.

siweltrebor Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Well aside from the big difference in the music available. I do like Wednesday, fun to explore, can chill out, get organised, start exploring, start having fun, fireworks opener it's all good. Sunday has been mixed depending on how I am or the camp is, I've had a handful of amazing all nighters and experiences on the Sunday however there have been times where things have been more strained like 2015, where I just had no energy left to enjoy the place and it was about 3-4am on the Sunday night before I was ready to party away again after some untimely rest.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I find this thread a bit bonkers. Wednesday might be your favourite day, but if you had to arrive on Thursday instead, everything you love about Wednesday would just be happening on the Thursday instead* *Unless you really really like fireworks.

Sunday i can get a 2nd wind but I am generally on last legs.. if had to miss a day I'd miss the Wednesday as wouldn't want to miss any bands that played the Sunday, as Thursday is still a free to explore day Edited March 24, 2017 by shoptildrop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Wednesday there's a shared experience of first day. When you arrive on Thursday you can really sense that everyone is already acclimatised. It's not terrible, but it's not as simple as saying Thursday is your Wednesday. The site is different too, you can see it's started to be worn down, it's not fresh any more. And you also spend Wednesday at home or work, chomping at the bit. But like I said, you do also miss a lot of the faff of getting in, so that's a bonus.

strangetown Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Wednesday for me. By Sunday I'm flagging and need a second wind at lunchtime to get me through to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
