Because of the strikes General Camping opened at 2pm. I just wandered up to that end of the site, mainly because in all the years I've been coming to GM I've never been up there. Buses are dropping people off that end and there's a few tents up but not many at all so far. Here's a nice picture of the river from the bridge by Orange gate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How’s it looking where we camp; think you know? Just your side of Tangerine Fields near the river. Not sure where family camping is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like to camp next to the pre-pitched tents; it gives you a nice straight-line walk to the main path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is doing 2 journeys feasible? My wife's just got out of hospital so won't be much help with the stuff! hi depends on how much stuff! It’s not a huge distance. Probably a few minutes 5-10 from car to wristband then 10- 20 mins to middle of the site (without stuff). I usually go with my daughter and it’s two journeys each but we do take the kitchen sink!

As you can see the field is pretty busy, the area to the right of the second picture is Family camping. It's not completely rammed but there's never been this number of people here at this point. Normally the Family area is half empty before Thursday. We are camped very close to there 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czuk Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 If anyone's waiting until 10 for the live in vehicles to open, they opened about 8 and you can get quite close to the showers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpdp Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 It looks like the "secret" bar will be behind the bar near round the twist. There's certainly something behind there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

festivalman Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Cate le Bon brought Gruff Rhys on for one song at the end of her set, surely he’s not just here for that - potential special guest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loved the whole set but unfortunately most people around us weren’t sure whether they were coming or going hence a lot of talking. Also sad to say that the guy blowing massive bubbles was getting more appreciation around us. Glad I saw them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
