Glastonbury 2016

Thursday the stream became blocked and red gate area got flooded that's where most of the pictures came from
The stream was cleared and the area drained over night
I was on site Saturday and Sunday and it was mostly ok with some mud on the edges of the road ways where the traffic was driving around.
I am going back in site today so will update
Over the last few years they have done a lot of drainage works and put in lots of stone roads

 

It's a bit wet and muddy camper van fields still green but wet in places

Someone's just been killed there before the show opens - a fire or something!

 

That's not good news ☹️

 

Just arrived in frome 220 miles without incident, bus drove spot on !

 

Still lots of green bring on the tents

Who cares about the mud at a festival

 

I have to say this, and I may be the only one, But this just doesn't appeal to me. I like live music by the thought of being a in a crowded field full of drunk possibly even drugged up people with rubbish toilet facilities and mega expensive food is not my thing

 

You could do it like Glamping via this field there or go in your bay to solve a couple of those issues. There is also meant to be plenty of Food for a Fiver Options as well but will let you know how I find my first Glastonbury and hoping they have some pulled pork ciabattas like you did at Techenders

 

Well it's my 1st glasto so it is only as you perceive it ,I may return and think never again or I may be going back at every opportunity , like most things you don't know till you've tried !

 

A little in the dark this morning ! Up at 5.30am and ready to go at 7.00am all breakfasted up ! Only had a 30 min drive left BUT been advised not to set off due to gridlocked roads even the locals are stuck from gettin to and from work. Any updates appreciated if you are fortunate to be on site ?

 

More rain in the night so it's hard getting on to the site
The camping fields are ok but the rest of the site is a bit of a mess and work is slow so there will not be much to see

 

Just spoke to someone who came in a camper this morning 9hours to get on site
The crews worked all night to try and get the fields ready but there's quite a backlog

 

The car parks are open and traffic is flowing slowly

 

For those who did not get tickets you can feel a bit happier

What always amuses me is the photos of all the rich kids arriving in their expensive wellies. Next week we can see the photos of all the abandoned tents sleeping bags and other stuff deemed no longer usable in our throw away society.

Just seen in the media a photo of a mother taking her child there, is it really the place for a two year old.

 

Is camper van field our of the way and quite sensible then?

 

How's everyone got on story's of campers still stuck at the bath and west show ground
On shift tonight in 10pm to 6am in the unfairground if your around look for someone in pink hivuz 6'3 and a beard
