Beerqueen Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I'm worried about where to find a place to pitch a small four man i.e big enough for two people tent! You may have to lug that a hell of a way from whatever car park you end up in! And will you go to the areas you mention first? It would be too stressful for me to even contemplate taking a tent that size!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it is enclosed on all sides by hedges or the fence so is difficult to spot. It was an oasis of green in '16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea how much of a trek Back House is from whichever entrance the coaches dump you? Leaving from Reading at 7am Thursday so I'm assuming I wont be on-site until 11am at least taking into account travel time and getting through the gates Edited October 26, 2018 by grilladelphia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's less of a trek from the late night shenanigans to your bed than those who stay up in Darble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant the walk from Gate A is mostly downhill (as it is to most places from there). There is no flooding danger in those fields out west.

John the Moth Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Couple of days ago I put the first bit of cash into a spare savings account to start my glasto fund. Hope to put a little aside each week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Preparation?, we’ve just got over getting tickets. Now trying to decide what tent to take. Looking at something easy to put up, those pop up ones look easy. So missed this year that we took a break in the area and walked the site, incredible to see campsites covered in crops , cows under the pyramid skeleton and had a walk over bellas bridge.
