Heather90 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 What are you doing to fill the gap knowing other people are already on the farm? I've wine chilling in my fridge. Desperately trying to finish off loose ends at work so I can leave early. Got my playlist on. Roll on 6pm tomorrow when I should arrive!

rzwodezwo Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Was up all night finishing a presentation for uni. Now quick alcohol haul at the supermarket & then to the airport. Glastonberry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinK Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I think you folks have dropped on to honest - 31 degrees and the biggest queues I've seen ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janski Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I purposely decided on the Thursday because the mud wore me down last year, and figured one less hangover lol sitting in work trying to pass the time while reading efests. 6.30 am coach for me in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm chipper enough. It would be nice to be on site and cracking open a cold can, but not to the extent that I'd have wanted to queue overnight or get caught in ^ that.

mario man Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm not finding it too bad due to being manically busy at work. Finish at 3 so not long left, but then I've got to ferry the kids around to various clubs this afternoon/evening - my penance for buggering off on my own early tomorrow morning!

lbferb Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 We're not arriving until Friday !! I'm on maternity leave at the moment so am being distracted by my tiny 10 month old...but keep thinking about the weekend ahead roughly 27 times a minute Hoping we will have a clear run into the festival Friday morning via the yellow route, anyone had any experience of arriving Friday in the past?

Giraffe Man Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Still at work until 17.30 but not really doing a lot Pack the car tonight & off at 7.30 tomorrow.

mario man Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Although my calmness was shattered a short while ago when I called the taxi firm to check my 4:30am cab to the O2 tmrw morning was still all good, only to be told no booking existed! Ive now rebooked but I'm going to call them again this evening just to check once more! Not good for my nerves!

I arrived mid-morning on the Friday for the past few years, and never saw a queue. They checked my tickets thoroughly though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather90 Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 That queue is awful! My friend arrived around 11.30 via NE and it only took her 15 minutes to get in. She has said its extremely hot. I suffer quite a bit with sunstroke so it's probably best I'm not there today. Would have preferred an earlier departure tomorrow but the sheer excitement of going is now taking over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero000 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Feeling quite positive actually. Taken the day off work so I've been sunning myself outside all day, whilst my generous friends have set up my tent for me. Cannot complain at all.

crocodiles Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Staying in worthy view so less stress finding a spot . Packing and 're packing constantly looking at who I want to see a lot less clear than last year . Probably only got 3 or 4 definite . Listening to 6 music . Can't wait for tomorrow. Can't say I'm unhappy to miss the heat today . But beats last year's mud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyj Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Been away with work and just starting the pilgrimage from Barcelona, via a night at home in Sussex. I've been getting updates from my mates and parents (yes, parents!) and my tent is up...feeling a little gutted to be missing today but I'm sure I'll have forgotten all about that by tomorrow lunchtime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdm22 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Opening the festival a day earlier than they used to has certainly spread the number of people coming in all at once hasn't it? Edited June 21, 2017 by cdm22 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleFire Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Moping at home, really wish we had the Wednesday there as well but... this heat and those ques is a blessing. Tomorrow afternoon for me with a naff 10:45 coach time but we're still going and hopefully I can hit it hard to the four days we are there!
