As a recent convert to travelling via public transport the loss of camping space close to gate A is v. annoying.

New walk way cutting through Row Mead should help with Pyramid headliner crowds.

love this

Am I the only one worried that there won’t be any actual music in the Glade this year? There’s still the glade stage (not in the glade), but last years glade lounge, in the glade doesn’t seem to be there.

Granted, the sound bleed between those stages was horrendous, but I hoped they might do something clever rather than get rid of music in the glade.

No Williams Green tent, and further decimated camping for coach arrivals. 2 major downgrades imo 👎

It would be nice if the festival could provide some sort of tram from the bus and coach station down the road to Paines Ground for those coming and going via public transport. Especially since trolleys aren't typically permitted on the coaches.

Of course, the monorail would be even better 😉

Oh man! I hadn't spotted that. I used to love the old Glade Lounge (not in the glade itself, I know...) and the Glade Dome last year, with PsyTrance on the Sunday night was FANTASTIC! I dearly hope both that venue and line-up have not gone 🥺.

I’m not sure the map confirms that the glade dome won’t be there… it just says glade on the map there. It’s just a blip, like the extra venue in Block9.

I just checked out the 2022 map and that didn't have the glade lounge on it either. So can't draw any conclusions yet. Fingers crossed it stays. Somne great times there over the years....

What camping areas have been given back to make up for the loss of all of Pylon and half of Rivermead?

Big chunk of Dairy and Cineramageddon.

[lukemack]

Would probably aim for camping in Dairy field this year if we weren't in Sticklinch, have been in Oxylers for years, but last year seemed extra busy there.

Yeah yeah ok, I’m only having a moan because this is the fourth time I’ve had to move on from a usual area due to a site reconfig. I’ll get over it come June 🙂

Who is all this crew that gets to camp there? All the crews are usually further out! We definitely are!

Us! We used to be in Dairy, got moved to Orange Staff last year, and then Rivermead this year.

I think people finally  figured out that camping in one of the central parts of the fest is ideal.

I take it Oxylers fills up fairly quickly?

Yes. Oxylers, Pennards and Park Home are some of the quickest to fill up with most of the space occupied by Wednesday afternoon. Then the camping around the Pyramid all fills up very quickly as well

Looking at some of the walkway changes, they existed last year but didn’t have a pink line through them. Does the pink line indicate a wider walkway? 

The walkway cutting right through Row Mead makes that a slightly less desirable camping area, surely. 

Quite a few more food/market places out in the fields this year.

That's how they work - one of you has to come second

[Fingerbobs]

Like the addition of the new walkway into/out from The Woods using the previously fenced off bit that gave off dusty old quarry vibes. Could be very useful for getting back up to Hitchin Hill and Lime Kiln.

Yeah, some of the pathways actually existed last year but were not on the map (ie the trackway through the middle of Dairy). I emailed the Glastonbury Festival office last June (🤓) and asked about some of the paths being missing. They said they'd be added on future versions of the map. I guess they never got round to uploading it to the website before the last festival.

There were also more water points and toilets in the camping areas, some of which are still missing from the map.

[LR10416]

Loads more pathways which I think will be good to ease the crowds. Although does make my normal park home a bit of a jigsaw now.

The pink line always used to indicate trackway on the path. Where it was just a white line the path was there but it was just grass underfoot
