TheGChild Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Once tents up, off to find something very tasty (nowhere in mind, gonna follow my nose on that one) then an aimless bimble around in awe before setting my ears to finding some live music/dj playing something funky or downright cheesy to while the hours away sinking whatevers in my rucksack / nearest bar is serving. Can practically smell the mud and hear the clang of the long drops now. 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Once the tent is up, it's off to the nearest lock up to drop off all valuables, then I take two cans of Scrumpy up to the Glastonbury sign hill, lean back and watch the site fill up. I'll have been up since the middle of the night with minimal sleep so sometimes I'll drift off there (especially if it's warm), or else I'll take a little bimble around then have a nap in my tent.

blue6field Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Like a few others on here, I’m volunteering with Oxfam this year. I’m travelling down from Scotland on the Sunday and staying local, plan to be in the Oxfields bright and early pitched up and registered. Then it’s really a couple of days exploring the site before it fully opens on the Wednesday morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Mondays and Tuesday are brilliant , I was going with Oxfam originally but got lucky in the resale. If macca wasn't playing I'd have definitely stayed with Oxfam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Tuesday in the CV fields, congregating at the top of the hill of death - there was even a band playing there in 2019 - having a few drinks and laughs, going down to those already queuing at gate C to say hello, and just gazing over the site and going ‘wow’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkic Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 I think, for the first time ever, we'll be camping in Big Ground. So I reckon we'll walk down towards the Pyramid to see it in all it's glory, then swing a left and mooch around to West Holts, grab a strawberry Brothers, sit in the sun and take it all in.

evilduck Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 I'll be arriving onsite about 7pm, so will need to go and ditch my bags where my friends have camped and then hopefully find wherever they are! Preferably Park 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curiouscat Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Setting up the trailer tent in B&W, then having a nice cold drink when it's all done as a reward. Head into the Festival when the queue has died down a bit on the Wednesday, take a couple of ciders in my bag, have a slow wander round and take it all in. I've heard of everyone meeting in the East camper fields on the Tuesday evening, does anything like this happen in B&W? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Star Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Once the tent is up, and a ton of water has been consumed to rehydrate in the record June summer heat, a slow wander across to the greenfields in search of the Lizard cafe for the first of many cups of their chai over the weekend.
