This time next week I'll be...

[Bmaz]

second day on site, having another wonder trying to get my bearings of where everything is, cannot wait

[Wakey321]

Working my last hour at work before clocking off at 4pm to get the train down to my parents house in Leeds to stay there before travelling down to site early Wednesday morning with my Dad

[Jackomanaco]

I'll be arriving on site to join some buddies in Camp FMS 😁

[Beerqueen]

On the train to Brum to spend the night there before getting our coach at 5.45 am.  

[Leyrulion]

On site wondering to a crew bar somewhere.

[Avalon_Fields]

In the CV fields at the top of the Hill of Death. Admiring the view:

[Familiar2billions]

Work done, on my way to Wembley Arena to see Rancid ahead of the early start on Wednesday morning to Victoria Coach Station. The irony is the gig was originally scheduled for Brixton which is only a 25 minute cab home. It getting moved to Wembley Arena means I'm now going to be getting home a lot later than I would have liked. Ahh well, let's be honest, I won't be sleeping much owing to the excitement anyway!

[Watergirl]

Set up, pottering around onsite.

[JoeyT]

Hoping to be wandering over to my first shift as an Oxfam steward.

Genuinely praying I get the 6am - 2pm shift on the Weds so I can be at the gates to welcome everyone in!

[sime]

At home, getting ready to leave around 7:30am for my train. And having one last check over my camping gear. Can't wait to be there soon 🙂

[EFC1996]

Having breakfast before picking my mate up to go and get our coach 

[Neville Street]

Waiting for the rental car place to open at Gatwick having landed at about 6:20am!!

[Charliehmiller]

In the que! 

[t0paz]

Urgh. About to fill 7.5hrs in front of a keyboard while I know the gates are open. For personal/family/work reasons I know I can’t justify going on the Wednesday but it doesn’t make it any easier when wednesday comes!

That’s a great shift, it was my first ever shift for oxfam at Glastonbury in 2019 and I got to see Emily and Michael opening the gates and lots of happy people flooding through. Loved it!

This time next week I’ll be on the coach from Sheffield heading to the farm.

Exactly my thinking. It would be great to get a shift in early and see the smiling faces.

On the coach from Oxford...

[Skip997]

Either on shift or going to one of the pedestrian gates to gather up as many discarded programmes as I can be bothered, which will then be handed out to crew.

Round about this time I’ll be in Bristol picking up 2 friends, then heading to Templemead to meet my son, and heading south to be spending the evening near the A37.

Watch out for the clean air zone. Huge fines if you don't pay the access charge.

One of our kids inadvertently took our 2013 Golf in there. Road tax for the vehicle is zero. But it still needs to pay I think £8 for the clean air zone. They didn’t spot the envelopes and the fine went up to £180 before we even knew about it. 

[BambooShanks]

hopefully at this time I'll be finishing putting up the tents and having a celebratory drink before mentally and physically preparing myself for the second run.

It's getting very real.  

[Crazyfool01]

Arriving at the back of the bus queue at pedestrian gate A I hope 

[bexj]

Sitting miserably at my desk wondering what I'd be doing normally at this time

 

Which would be lugging half a ton of crap across a hot dusty field...

I'd take that over the desk tbh.

Hoping this is what I’ll be doing by this time as well. Question is.... do I have the celebratory drink before the second run, or not? Think I might just steel myself, get the second run done, in order that I can fully enjoy it.

Note: this approach also rules out the possibility of getting over excited, and visiting the Cider Bus after the celebratory drink and before the second run is done.
