Glastonbury 2014

Coupled with the fact you can no longer run old man!

'I can no longer run' would suggest that I used to be able to run.

Has anyone driven before? Whats the parking situation like?

Parking is fine, the later you get there then generally you are further away. Get there Weds and you may queue for a hour or so as more and more people turn up early.

Gerenerally I find parking in the West car park more compfortable as it is a flat walk in/out. The east has a fairly steep hill and at the end of 5 days of no sleeping I just can't face that. They may have changed this though.

We are getting there Thursday morning so guesss just park where we can.

I hear there a large queue to get out on Monday...

You will be fine, just be prepared for a bit of a walk. Lots of people take trolleys etc

Generally the later you get there the easier it is to get out on the Monday. I got there early and parked right by the main ticket exchange. Did take 2.5 hours to get off site then but generally I have been off sie inside of 30 minutes of getting to my car.

Parking is pretty easy, but later you arrive more chance you have walking for miles to find a camp spot. I would advice arriving at 5am Wednesday morning and start queuing Either way the queue and walk is fairly painful but worth it in the end. Still gutted i didn't get a ticket this year.

Has anyone got the Big Lemon bus from Brighton to Glastonbury before?

Some of my friends got the bus combo ticket and some others aren't driving there until Friday afternoon (I'm not even considering that idea). So I'm trying to figure out the best way for me to get there. Bus, train or a car share website are my 3 options....Tricky.

We may have a place in the car if you dont mind chipping in for parking ticket and petrol?

We aiming to leave early Thursday morning and come back early Monday morning.

[FalmerforAll!**]

One more week grafting my arse off then away we go. Driving to Bristol on the Tuesday, staying at a friends then going Wednesday morning. Excited isn't even the word!!

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Going on the Tuesday. I've got special pass as I'm putting in some shifts in a recovery tent. Really looking forward to this.

Wonder if metalica will bring that dead bear with them

 

[Hornblower]

So who got tickets?

Who are we keen to see?

The rumours of the Gallagher brothers are getting stronger. Apparently they called a truce at a cousins wedding and there is some talk about them opening an indie bar/restaurant together.....would be a perfect place for a comeback!

Me, Mrs H and H junior are guests of Live Nation. Looking forward to seeing Jurasic 5, Manics, Dolly, George Ezra and Fat White Family.

Pretty poor effort really by the great unwashed. The picture is actually of hunter Doug Giles and was taken in June 2010, showing him with a Brown Bear he shot in Prince William Sound, Alaska.

I love most of their music but there are more valid criticisms. For example they actually had a point about downloads but went about it in a totally unnecessarily aggressive manner. And let's not forget the hideous St Anger album and related the self indulgent navel gazing psycho babble nonsense documentary ' Some Kind Of Monster'

Dam all the clashes...festival problems!

I've just seen the alleged photo. If it is the photo that was used in the Daily Mail then it clearly is not him.....the total lack of tattoos makes it pretty obvious.

I'm all packed and think I've gone a bit overboard - my bag weighs a tonne and then I have another bag FULL of cider.

I'm so excited!!
