Jackal1 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 We have been in West campers for a good few years now. It was easy to get vans in and out and access via pedestrian gate was always no problem. 5 minute Q at the busiest times. I wonder if the capacity to handle more people at Gate C will be improved. A long walk and then a long Q are never the best start to a day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CV West field is between 2/3s and 3/4s the size of Worthy View, so to answer your question, loads of people. Seem to remember that WV has 5000 scout tents but could be wrong. Have just messaged daughter #2 who is WV crew. She might remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember a crew of people with a whole living room set up just as you went down the hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProperTea Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Yes, Worthy View is 10,000 capacity so with an extra 7,000 at the new site, you can see how they have room to expand the licence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Shame, it was a great campervan spot. Pretty hilly though from what I remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty hilly though from what I remember? bit of a slope but that kept the site dry - i put my base camp there last year and it was like walking through the pearly gates compared with the soul-less all-nighter at other pedestrian gates. Getting out afterwards was similarly smooth as it discharged downstream of the main car parks. i am gutted this option has gone; it was just too good to last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the CV looks ace if you're right at the edge of the site, but could I bollocksed be bothered to do that walk there and back every day. the bed, heater, cold beer, bacon butties and ample storage makes up for the trek, to be honest it’s worth it just for not having to carry all your stuff miles across the site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 I’m a bit gutted about this. We have stayed in West since 2015 and really love it. It’s a long old trek home at night but I love that it’s small and never had big queues for water, toilets or getting into site each day. How does East compare? Anyone done both? We will still take a camper but I’ll be a bit apprehensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stayed in both CV West and CV East and for the reasons you give above plus found it had a great festival vibe and community feel, I much preferred West. Equally gutted here as well. For whatever reason CV East has always just felt like somewhere to go and sleep and that's it. Still, I've got to embrace it now. Its that or Bath and West... So strange to say, but fingers crossed for CV East tomorrow. Edited November 20, 2019 by DarrenVonBoathook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkyJoe Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Can anybody remember the format for the CV sale. Are you able to buy multiple passes for different Reg numbers or is it just one Reg number per sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s because going to Glastonbury every year and finding all your fave bits in the same place is very comforting. Not that I don’t want it to evolve but just assumed we would always camp in the same place and have the same (long but often eventful) journey in and out of the action each day.

Smeble Posted November 20, 2019 Report Share Posted November 20, 2019 Wonder what, if any, impact the extra campervans all trying to get in CV east will have on entry and exit times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully and presumably they will add some extra entry lanes at that gate ... surely they won’t want any extra aggravation for those entering that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they increasing the capacity of CV East then? If they aren't then traffic flow should be same as usual. I think the extra camper vans due to closure of west CV will be sent to Bath & West from what they're sying online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean buying group from the main ticket sale? If so this isn't case as 2 people from my ticket group each got a East CV Quiet ticket last night.

I've no idea why that happened, but it's what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
