Finding you way about

[Festival Survival Guide]

I know people will have the app that shows you where you are on site, and hopefully you'll get a paper map when you get there, but I think it is useful to have a few landmarks to know where you are on site especially for first-timers.

The site is in a valley that runs east to west with hills on the north and south sides. There are a couple of "main roads" in site that are concrete. Steanbow Farm Road runs south from Red Gate (marked in grey on the web map), the Pilton Bypass runs east from Red Gate up to Worthy Farm and on to VG2. Worthy Farm and VG2 are on the north hill and you'll also find all the helpful stuff like Welfare, Load and Found and the Medical Centre up there.

On the south side of the valley, running from Shangri La to Steanbow Farm Road is an old railway line that is a raised embankment which makes it easy to distinguish from the other mud tracks. On the north side of the valley are some electric pylons and power lines and these are a black line on the map, the blobs are the pylons.

They’re “rebooting” it, don’t you know!

Whenever someone rings my mate and someone acts where are you he always says "I'm in a room" - which is a Knightmare reference.

[Crazyfool01]

can you lend me a compass ?

Eat-the-food eat-the-food eat-the-fo- ah bollocks

Is "Load and Found" a new stage?

Okay, don’t quote me on that because I can’t find anything concrete online but I did hear talk of a new VR-based version of the show, possibly a home VR game which would be awesome too.

FALSEHOOD

[Hugh Jass]

They could do this instead of tickets... A massive Eavis face comes out of the fence and poses a riddle.

”Truth Accepted. Now in you go.”

[Stocksey]

at random points during the headliners a bell tolls and everyone freezes where they are. Michael Eavis is free to roam amongst the farm un-noticed.

Then everything restarts as if nothing has happened

[BluePaul]

"...hopefully you'll get a paper map when you get there..."

With a free programme and the Guardian guide to go round your neck, I'd say it's pretty fucking nailed on you'll get a paper map when you get there.

Replace Eavis with me and I'm certain that I've already done this.?

[Pinhead]

When we get there and see all the mud I expect to see Hugo standing there going, "Oooo, nasty!"
