deebeedoobee Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Would be wandering up to the village gate in shorts and flip flops. Then on site, up to the sign to watch across the site as it fills up with happy smiley faces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan_Glasto Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 2019 - Would have have been just arriving on site after getting the NX coach from Glasgow. Wondering if the overcast sky was going to disappear… Cut to about 2pm and I’m already sun burnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if the overcast sky was going to disappear… Cut to about 2pm and I’m already sun burnt. I forgot it was cloudy in the morning - @paulshane's pic certainly confirms in. When did the sun come out?? I think we arrived around 1.30pm. I'm sure it was sunny then, although not as ridiculous as the Wednesday of 2017. The very short walk from the coaches to pylon seemed to take forever that year. Just remembered that two of my friends got the coach and the bus driver drove off with all their tickets. Took a lot of faffing about at their end to get in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasperella Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 2019. Trekking the newbies up the hill to see THAT view. Drinking some ciders. And then on the Thursday finding refuge for most of the afternoon in a very glorious Strummerville. Right at the top of the hill. Stayed there all afternoon there until Frank Turner. Blissful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider in hand it makes it more than worth it 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) 4:30am on the Wednesday of 2019. Pedestrian Gate A.

jparx Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Never been able to make it there on the Wednesday due to work, and my tickets for next year are Thursday coach again, but damn I really want to get that Wednesday vibe eventually! Looks incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveb72 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 This time 2 years ago we’d just set off on the See tickets coach from Liverpool and was about to experience a magical 5 days. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
