deebeedoobee Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 The glade area dance floor has 4 large tree trunks in a square about 6ft apart and 12 foot high. Wish I had snapped it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Earache records retweeted the Shangri-La line-up and have been liking posts about it. Doesn't mean Earache Express or Scum will be back but seem likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sticklinch gate isn't labelled. I reckon there will be a few changes to this. I'm disappointed the market area for sticklinch seems to be much smaller than the area in WV. Looks like we wont have the waffle tent 😞 According to my markets map (which I feel slightly free-er talking about now that all the site changes are public), there are 2 stalls in Sticklinch. I don't know what they are, though, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprefan Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 So toilets and showers inside WV arent labeled I assume? Seems the only thing I dont see as the ones by Kidzfield are labeled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sku Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Without the cut through to Silver Hayes, it seems like Rivermead, Pylon Ground and Darble just got a major downgrade. That's the main walking route to most destinations for those campsites, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lushroom Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Is blue (2019) the little tunnel I have read about? And does purple (2022) mean it's gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the tunnel under the railway line. I wouldn't read anything into the way the new map is stylised - it's just a useful cut through, rather than a major advertised route.

The map is still showing a thoroughfare between Woodsies and Lower Mead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robofish Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Big Blue T in Darble is... not on the key, and unique on the map. I seem to remember some long drops being at that point in the past. I assume it's the same this year. EDIT: just seen it is toilets without drinking water. As you were...

Leyrulion Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 I wish the map would distinguish between long drops and composting toilets. Genuinely a consideration where to camp. Being able to sit on an actual toilet seat in a freshly cleaned non smelling loo is a great way to start the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnkrtn Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 3 hours ago, efcfanwirral said: So with where the bus station is, would you recommend we get straight in the queue at Gate A then do the walk down to Paines/Dairy or do the walk outside and join the Gate D queue? More a convenience thing than worrying too much about a spot - is it something of a shortcut to do it on the outside of the fence? We'll be in on the first shuttle from Castle Cary hopefully as staying there the night before. I would queue at Gate A. Usually, they prioritise public transport entry so you'll get in quicker. Plus, D will be full of all sorts of overnighters queueing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly this. No way they get rid of the glade stage. It also has concrete pilla structures all year round to house the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the only thing I dont see as the ones by Kidzfield are labeled. My guess is the toilets and showers in WV and sticklinch aren't on the map because they're not "public" ones. They don't want you thinking you can nip up the hill to the WV loos if you're at strummerville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But v annoying for those of us who usually use Pylon I wonder if one of those toilets will be in the main Pylon bit and the other for staff? Will be annoying if there's 2 in the staff side and none in the other! I camped in Pylon last time and was planning to return but may migrate to Bushy this time.

We went the very first weekend, and lots changed after too, so very possible both things are true. But WP was meant to be more sedate. I wasn't meant to forget things like I do with Glastonbury 🙄🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has got to be more public toilets than what is currently showing on this map. Otherwise, Dairy, Back House and Bushy are sharing 2 sets of toilets. The queues would be mental.

Beerqueen Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Surely it would make more sense to put the staff camping on the west side of Pylon so everyone could still use the cut through to the East? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
