People coming from overseas....?

[dmedxb]

Hi everyone - I was super curious about how many of us are coming from overseas for Glastonbury? Was very interested to see all the different countries we were visiting from... 

My wife and I are both from the UK (my first! her third) but we work out in Dubai. Flying over Saturday night, couple of days work in our UK offices on Mon/Tues then off to Glasto first thing Wednesday - can't wait!

Travelling from Singapore, but did '16 & '17 from Abu Dhabi. Flying out Friday night!

I'm coming from Australia for the 4th time (previously in 2013, 2015 & 2017). Leaving here on Saturday, and making Glasto the first part of a month long holiday, like I usually do.

Yes, I seem to have been very lucky! The three years I've attended have all been very good weather. I'm hoping the trend continues this year

Not as exotic as earlier posts but traveling over from Ireland on the ferry

First glastonbury since 2014. It does not feel like 5 years ago

Aye, coming over from Belfast via Dublin, which, although I’m coming from the UK, I am leaving the UK to get there, and I’m technically going over a sea to get there.

[MetaKate]

Im coming from Canada (Calgary) via Greece!

[HalfAnIdiot]

I'll be cycling in from the Isle of Avalon ?

[Just.a.Rascal]

Coming from Bangladesh. This would be my second time. First time was when I was studying here.

Coming from Dublin via Ferry on Monday... Bristol for a night (and a half?) and then we’re festival bound

[Led festivals]

I'm another from Singapore. We're arriving Sunday but wife and the kids aren't coming so I've got to get them to Nottingham before heading back down for Ofxam stewarding.

Coming from NYC for 8th or so time. TBH, trip isn't that bad... it probably takes someone driving from northern Scotland longer or about the same to get there than it takes us.

Agreed, actual trip is fine. Only negative is that you leave a good few days before the festival so the packing can be tough, particularly given the uncertainty around the weather right now! 

The ol' Weight vs Necessity conundrum...

My sister is coming from Abu dhabi

 

Big beats are the best get high all the time

Both my parents are flying in from Dubai, be my Mums 2nd and my Dads 1st.

Does coming from Scotland count as “ Abroad”.     ?

[tevaburger]

another from NY...for my 9th. My usual ritual is a big London night out on the Wednesday with old friends before taking a midday train out on Thursday, so I do arrive on-site a bit 'late' and then fly back on Monday but the wife and kids put up with my quick absence and use of family funds in good understanding spirit (i think)

First timer from Los Angeles here. Landing in London Tuesday heading to the Farm on Wednesday. The excitement is real.

Snap!...well close

We're coming from Melbourne for the 4th time. 2014, 2016, 2017.

(Our first one was in 1995 when we lived in Glasgow)

Staying on for a couple of weeks and checking out Cornwall.

Love the UK, even when BoJo becomes prime minister.

The ol' Weight vs Necessity conundrum... 

Coming from NYC here - my 8th 

exactly this conundrum; i'm fully packed at the moment, leaving in the morning and will spend a few days in London. I always pack light in terms of cloths and figure if I'm absolutely freezing I can buy something warm from the Oxfam shops on site.
