Driving to glasto - first time

[Mp1878]

Hello

 

First time driving to Glasto on my 8th visit. Want to end up East side ideally at PGD. Advice says you can decide what side to come in via, is this clear from the road sings? Or is it just pot luck where you end up?

Depends where you're driving from.  PGD is west side, not east!

Will be coming from North West. Thanks I should have know that haha!

we came from Liverpool last year on the thursday and headed to gate D as we were set up in Dairy Ground.  if you try to head towards pink or orange car parks. you'll be sound.

We want Dairy Ground so this will be ideal

Try to get into Orange car parks as they are much closer for PGD than Pink

How easy is this to do? Is it a case that they fill up Orange first and then when they're full they'll start filling up Pink?

not sure, but perhaps you can ask to go into orange when you get there?

We didn't get there till lunchtime thursday but pink was full before Orange for some reason so ended up in Orange and about a 5 minute walk from gate D. we actually ended up closer than all of our group who arrived tuesday night. 

in other words i've no idea how the f**k they work it

We got there at 6am on Wednesday last year and were diverted to Pink. Walking to the gate we saw Orange was only half full so no idea how they do it. No option to ask to go to orange, road/turning was closed off

We've travelled via Glastonbury town the last 3 fests hoping to get into Orange car park, but despite pleeding, we always get directed into Pink. This is around 10/11am on the Wednesday. It's all luck really depending on which car parks they're filling at the time.

Friends of mine arrived about midnight last year and got into Orange 39.
