[gooner1990]

I’m thinking I might have a quick wander of the site on Saturday morning before I head home.

I think the terms and conditions are a once only entry ... so I would think there isn't much point ? 

If I'd made the trip down, I would certainly be trying to make my way up to the stone circle after the gig finishes. Or at least thinking about it.

Surely a few others would be there too?

I would doubt it. It a long way in the dark there and back. There will be no lighting to find your way and just a very dark field when you get there. Not to mention the cows will be out too.

Basically if you like stumbling around for hours over uneven ground in the dark with little idea of where you are and where you are going and a good chance of annoying the bovines then go for it. Most people just stay at the gig DJs till 14:00 and wander off home.

I'm getting flashbacks and I paid good money for those experiences!

I bet you're right BTW and that I'd just hang around the official part and then go home.

I still love the idea of impromptu gatherings at the stone circle, even if it is romantic nonsense.

I have had a bit of a nightmare, as i have managed to book a work trip that gets me back into London Heathrow at 15.30 on the Friday - lets say it takes me 3.5/4.5 (including security etc) hours to get down to Pilton, i am gonna arrive at 7/8ish. I assume that we would still be there for most of the acts - and importantly for Wolf Alice, as this is who the Mrs wants to see. 

Also if anyone has any tips on telling the other half that i have fucked up yet another event due to a work trip without it turning into WW3 that would be great too.

If I have work trips come up after I have booked tickets for something I just expense them to the company. Mrs Chef gets to go for free with someone which usually softens the blow.

Nice touch, putting midget condoms on the end of each flower, just in case you need one ?

Hadn't even thought that there'd be no lighting - of course!

They're still pimping it hard on Twitter, Emily sent out the ticket link again

 

Always wondered... does anyone end up getting absolutely mashed at this and go for a little trip up to the Stone Circle or dragon? ?

 

Or is it all fairly well behaved under the marquee tent and home affair?

I ended up there a few years ago. I was at a private party at Goose Hall and got bored and went for a wander. Ended up at the Stones at around 10.30pm. Pitch dark. Only had my phone for light. Sat down by one of the stones but left 20 minutes later. Scared stiff!!

Thanks .... definitely an option if the offer of a free ticket for a driver from Taunton doesn't pay off :)

Late in the Day I was Going Out with Grace and Mary, but then I heard them Pumping On My Stereo. They sounded Alright, wanted to hear more but I was Caught By the Fuzz.
