This time next week...

[Sasperella]

I'll be on the coach!!!!! Woohoo!!!

And probs will be having a little snooze as we'll still be too far away from Bristol to crack open a cider 

[Mrs Dubs]

Waking up in Bath & West, nice brew and bacon butty in the sunshine ? and then jump the shuttle bus over.

My first Glastonbury !! Excited is an understatement ?

But gates are at 9 aren't they?

They've opening them early pretty much every time we've queued overnight.

I was quite happily sound asleep in 2017 and my mate had to wake me up to get ready to go through Gate B at around 8ish.

NB: We'd had our stuff searched the night the night before while sat in the queue.

Are you doing the Tuesday night queue, Kaytee?

No coming in on the midnight coach so usually at gate A for 6ish. Dont think I could do thr overnight queue!

[Quark]

Sat in Victoria chilling out with a coffee and some breakfast before the 9am coach (I like to arrive in plenty of time for travel in general so there's minimal rushing)

And enjoying a few days away from the miasma of bullshit, empire building and grade A fuckwittery that blights my working week.

Think they've "officially" opened at 8am for the last few years although i'm sure they've probably let people in even earlier than that.

by this time we should be in gate d and trudging along to the campsite hopefully not so drunk as in previous years to try and avoid the mid morning "power blackout"

Let me consult my mate who was much more sober in the queue than I was. I seem to think it was 7-something-am.

 

Edit: Just rang him. He reckoned Gate B opened not long after 7am.

All being well traffic wise, I will be in the car approaching Stonehenge area and feeling very impatient to get to site!!

Gate D was about 7:00 as well in 17 and about 7:30 ish in 16 if i remember rightly

[Padgey]

I'll be either doing my first shift or pitching mates' tents

[Hotchilidog]

This time next week I shall be impatient for the off. Apparently we are leaving Brighton around 11. Luckily a berth in Worthy View means we are relieved of the shall we get a good pitch stress, still want to be on site for mid afternoon though.

[katiegloss]

Set up, with a Gin in hand. Welcoming the remaining ones of our group off the coach (and carrying more bags I imagine)!

[LSTx]

I'll be debating whether to dive in to my horse powder 

[JoshM87]

I'll either be there or well en route. Never driven before only gotten lifts and never from as far away as I now live. I'm debating whether to head off for 7am and hopefully avoid the rush to get in around the roads.

[stuartbert two hats]

I'll be overexcitedly shouting forum handles at people when I realise who they are.

Hahaha. This. Bewilderment, panic, followed by a surreptitious glance to see if there’s a name-sticker, then untrammelled relief and overuse of that name

[MrZigster]

I'll probably be trying to find my way out of Sacred Space after watching the fireworks. After having been to the efests meet. After having watched Mik Artistic.

Shifts permitting.

[Flysheet]

Be wandering after the fireworks...won’t be wanting to head back to WV yet!
