deadstillstanding Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hey everyone! I reckon I've just about finished updating the Glasto tube-style map for 2019. You guys have given some useful feedback on this the last couple of times and I know a few of you have found it useful so let me know what you think! This is based on as much as I could glean from a fairly recent General Site Plan and various comments from all over. I've managed to cram in a few more points of interest, hopefully without getting too cramped, reworked Silver Hayes to better reflect the layout, and updated the naughty corner to match the current set up. It aint perfect – wanted to add a few other bits and pieces – but think it's pretty much ready. Are there any glaring flaws? Obvious omissions? Want to draw a line under it soon so I can get it printed to go outside the Green Welfare tent ?️☕? 2 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titters Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Just to be that guy. Your North-South yellow line goes to dead ends. Aside from that, this is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotChipWillBreakYourLegs Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I think it's excellent. What I would say is that it doesn't feel right that Other and Pyramid aren't 'interchange stations' as they are such major parts of the site and so many paths lead to them. Also I can't tell which node Block 9 is supposed to be, unless it's supposed to be both on the green and red lines? Edit: which kind of makes sense looking at the map.

al_coholic Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I did get it printed on a t-shirt in 2016. Just did it all online and they printed it and sent it to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selotape Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Looks really good! The only thing I spotted is that I suspect the Bimble Inn and the Ribbon Tower might be the wrong way round. And the Pharmacy has moved more to where the Brown and yellow lines meet. The pedant would also say that there isn't a path between Strumerville and the Crows Nest, but it looks nice with the Jubilee line added!

We did that with the 2016 one. Sadly we have failed in every effort to get tix this year so won’t need an updated shirt. Hoping to be back for 2020!!

Yeah, it's kinda annoying but there are no points of interest at those junctions. (Tbh it was a bit of a stretch to use Webbs Ash Bridge but I always liked that bridge so...) Plus it's already really cramped in that section so I left them out. 1 hour ago, HotChipWillBreakYourLegs said: What I would say is that it doesn't feel right that Other and Pyramid aren't 'interchange stations' as they are such major parts of the site and so many paths lead to them. Also I can't tell which node Block 9 is supposed to be, unless it's supposed to be both on the green and red lines? Edit: which kind of makes sense looking at the map. I know what you mean. On the first version I tried really hard to make them 'proper' stations. But it looked odd as they aren't at crossroads. I tried using conjoined circles (like for Bank or Kings Cross) to connect the junctions on either side of those stages... but that just looked weird. At the end of the day, this map is all about the paths and junctions, to help navigation, and points of interest kinda serve as labels. And yup, re: Block 9. It's simplified to those two entrances. There are several really but this gives you the jist of it. SE corner is too fiddly to capture all the detail on this. Instead it shows the standard 1-way clockwise shambly route most people take through there at 2am. Besides, half the fun of Shangri La is getting a bit lost right 1 hour ago, drunk pumpkin said: No stop for the worm hole but that’s being picky. Looks amazing Yeah. Nor Romeo & Juliet, Earache, several in Shangri La... loads of little stages all over. Can't fit 'em all in basically. 17 minutes ago, selotape said: Looks really good!

Do you know that they've swapped then? I can't really tell from the Site Plan. Thanks re. the Pharmacy, that's good to know. So would that be in P28 on the Site Plan I'm guessing? Although there isn't a decked path up beyond the tipis, there is a slightly out of the way route, on the south of the site, that takes in some of the most famous photo hotspots... hence Jubilee ?? (The logic to match with the London lines by their character isn't perfect but satisfyingly it kinda holds water.) Thanks everyone for the input, it's genuinely really helpful, even if I can't do much about some of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a bunch of people were kind enough to say the same the last couple of years we did look into it with the idea that proceedings would go to Festival Welfare Services but no dice sadly ? Transport for London were cool about it so long as we didn't use their roundel logo. But Glastonbury Festivals Limited are understandably protective of their trademarks, including 'Glasto' and 'Pyramid stage' amongst others. We can't sell it, even as a charity.

Which we wouldn’t, of course, use to get t-shirts printed. I am sure that we all would, totally unconnected, be happy to drop in a donation to Festival Welfare Services.

Does that apply to paintings as I'm working on a project to do 12 paintings of glastonbury.. Now obviously you call your painting something ie.. Glastonbury pyramid in the sunset .. Or ribbon tower something or other.. Am I allowed to call my original paintings these names.. Otherwise I'll have to change it to..... A bright thing in a field....... Doesn't sound so good does it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Brown Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Really cool... love it!!! Couple of comments - Stone circle is much further to the right than Glade. I can see why you have done this to fit everything in but it would benefit from a line joining these together as there is a main route from Strummervile/Stone Circle to Glade. Also next to Strummerville on the corner it would be good to add Pennard Hill Gate for the Worthy Viewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know that they've swapped then? I can't really tell from the Site Plan. This year Bimble Inn is where Rabbit Hole was. On your 2019 map this should place the ribbon tower slightly north of Bimble Inn. I recently read a book about the London Underground map writer. You should put yourself on the next reading list. It’s currently with @pie_and_a_pint as that’s the sort of thing she likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmcmanu2 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 What a fantastic creation - love it (and would buy the T-shirt). Only thing I considered that could be an extra "station" was worthy view - I know its technically outside the site (like CV field etc), but personally I think it has sort of become a "feature" of Glastonbury...... just my take on what is a brilliant creation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
