Very, very smooth and easy to drink considering it was straight Vodka. Think I drank nearly a full 70cl over the course of a day and was near-blind by the end of the evening. Possibly still hungover from that year. Might make some more for 2020! 32 minutes ago, Quark said: Yep I did that one as well, took them both along to the meet. The refreshers one is more noticeably vodka-based, so it didn't go as quickly. The werthers one is like drinking a milkshake and it was absolutely lethal The only issue she had was due to the heat this year it quickly became a warm drink... which didn’t have quite the same appeal. But yes it was just like drinking sugar so you forget it’s straight 37% spirit I’ve seen a Skittles one made before but can’t imagine they will mask the taste of vodka quite as well.

Sat there for a couple of hours around our camp drinking this stuff "I don't feel drunk at all" I stood up and boy was I wrong. So very, very wrong.

One Tonne Baby Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Use Wednesday and Thursday. I think some people, especially those who have never been before, think that Glasto doesn't really kick off until the Friday. From Friday-Sunday, you'll probably be going from stage to stage, and it will be a lot busier. Wednesday and especially Thursday are great for getting lost and wandering. Even if you think somewhere isn't your bag (baby), just go. It's literally amazing what you stumble on. Avoid plans for these days and go with the flow. Dont do it too quickly either. Take some time to sit and take it all in, because its amazing and you might miss it when you are watching bands back to back over the weekend.

Quark Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) On a more sensible non-booze related topic, one that comes up a lot on the mental health thread is to not put the pressure on yourself to have the most amazing time every minute of every day you're there. Enjoy it, but don't convince yourself you're doing it wrong if you're not turned up to 11 for 5 days solid.

I think it took my until Glasto 3 before i saw the majority of it, and even then, i probably missed stuff. You are probably never going to cover the whole site, or at least do something there, so just enjoy what you are doing and explore over the next few years!

vardyvarvar Posted October 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 I think the challenge going back a few times is to get the balance of nostalgia vs new experiences. I tend to like what I know and know what I like so have to remind myself to break down the barriers of routine and go with the flow which is a big thing for me! Another tip I have for Wednesday/Thursday is don’t wear a watch. What time is it? Doesn’t matter - do whatever you feel like doing right now.

Airlie Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Dont get stuck with a big group trying to please everyone...its impossible and you'll end up missing out. If you all want to go somewhere, great! If you don't, do what YOU want to do and meet up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
