We were anyway, told that you had to approach from further down the A37 and go in around the other way. Strange. That’s the way I go every year!! 2014/15/16/17/19/22….never had a problem.

Shibs7788 Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Would anyone recommend worthy view? How far a walk from the main festival site? how bad is it if your tent is right at the back? how many showers is there straighteners and hairdryers? What’s the queue etc like?

The path is also very rough with loose gravel and stones. I feared how it would look like if it pissed down. I understand that the festival had contingency measures to reopen the old steps that used to be used and are not part of the festival if it became dangerous . IMO the old path was a lot better, hopefully the new one get some improvements before next summer Edited November 6, 2022 by Ayrshire Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfield Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) I dont remember having to get campervan tickets seperately last time, is it difficult??

It can be tricky but usually if you don't get them in the main sale you will get them in resale. Just a case of being patient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armourman Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Do we think it will be a quick sale for WV )ie two weeks) etc given the ticket sale date delay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC7BBCHEAVEN Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) As Glastonbury refuse to acknowledge the dozens of amazing craft breweries in the UK and insist on serving piss at inflated prices, I have a question on homebrew. Anyone know if there's any rules for the campervans that would stop you bringing some corny kegs full of home brew and a gas bottle?

If your tent is towards the back its a very long hump to/from most of the festival site. Most likely you are only going to be doing it once per day. It took me well over an hour to get back from the John Peel to get some more cans one afternoon and that was before they extended WV further back. Never did that again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozanne Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 It the hill for WV is an issue for you then give Sticklinch a go. It's a bit further away behind Carmaeggedon but has no hill so is an easier walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair walk but nice meander through greenfields. Just further to walk but on the flat. Not there last year but they were open at least twice a day. Quite a queue at busy times. There are but they cost £5-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve used WV for last few years and camped in general camping before that. There’s a separate car park for WV which means no queueing and no walking for miles with all your kit. It makes a massive difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon F Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 what was the car park for sticklinch like? both in terms of distance from tent and getting in and out? we've always worthy viewed in the past but worried about that hill if it's a muddy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiaranMc Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) if you’re staying in Worthy View the Pennard Lock Up is REALLY your best friend if I recall. We leaned pretty hard on it. Edited November 6, 2022 by CiaranMc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topmarksbri Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 If I remember rightly there's no shuttle to Sitcklinch is there? Coaching down so would be a schlepp otherwise. if you're staying in either do you get your wristband from the campsites or do you have to go in and then go over to your accom (if that makes sense) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We leaned pretty hard on it. I would call it the Tipi Field lockup cause if youre walking that way thats where it is by. It was literally next to the Hare Krishna tent since they moved though. If you dont mind the walk up and down, its worth it. Easiest arrival to there if youre not driving is if you take the train and then take the shuttle to WV. You avoid having to go to the coach arrival and waiting in that shuttle line which can take ages even though they had 4 coaches moving people around.
