MrHew Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 I was laying out a load of wood chip at the allotment at the weekend. When I opened the first bag the waft took me straight back to Glastonbury. What smells take you back there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeye Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hand sanitiser; a smell we've all grown accustomed to over the past 12 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner1990 Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Mud that's drying out.....seems to give off an aroma that's similar to festivals. Sat round a couple of socially distanced chimneas/fire pits over the last week or so that reminds me of festivals. Warm cider split down my jeans and trying to dry out (which I did the other day!)

efcfanwirral Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 They were muck spreading round here the other day and it smelt a little sulphur like. For a minute or so it took me back but it was pretty overwhelming instead of just a fleeting smell of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they have spread but it sure clears the pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Bonfires. People used to make them up from the timber that was provided. Happy days chilling round the campfire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Johno Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 I live in Brighton so the place normally smells like weed anyway, but occasionally you’ll get a whiff of mega strong stuff which is very festival reminiscent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Wood fired ovens. Have a pizza oven and a smoker at home and use wood chips in both and the smell takes me back to early morning strolls through the markets wondering if its too early to go for a pint in the Avalon Inn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagpussSeesAllThings Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 The smell of grass you find on the ground and the grass that is smoked both take me back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigpusher Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 I remember walking around Glastonbury once and overhearing someone say basically Glastonbury smells of shit and weed and as we followed him he kept saying weed, now shit so guess what smells take me back to Glastonbury 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood fired, pizza oven, smells, really remind me of, the modern, Glastonbury. Compared to Global Gathering, that always stank of barbecues.

nikkic Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 It’s an obvious one, but the smell (and sound) of our tent, no matter where the camping holiday is, reminds me of Glasto. The smell of bonfires reminds me of The Stone Circle. The smell of incense reminds me of The Greenfields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 The smell of myself when I haven't showered for five days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Straw, campfire smoke, rotten spilt cider in front of Brothers and Cider Bus, weed. Edited April 14, 2021 by Pinhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 The smell in the car on the way home after a damp Glastonbury as all the camping gear and clothing which was just shoved in the back seats begins to dry out. Usually start to notice it by the first services. Rancid by Southwaite! Much prefer the heady scent of weed and bonfires at the stone circle in the early hours!

Tartan_Glasto Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 That smelly rain you get. You know when it's rained on a warm day and the air has this kinda damp smell to it. Smelled that the other day was take right back to wandering round Glasto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 My capacity to smell has all but been rendered ineffective. No prizes for guessing how that came about. I can still smell strong curries though. Not that that has anything to do with this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
