Excitement levels have risen significantly over the weekend. Heading over on the ferry from Rosslare tomorrow evening.

How and when are the rest of ye heading over?

Easy Rod

Ryainair flight at 6:30am Thursday.

Mince Pie

Heading to Liverpool tomorrow night, shopping for last bits and booze on Wednesday then catch the coach at 7am on thursday morning.

Sandwell

Getting the boat over from Rosslare on Wednesday morning. Should hopefully be on site sometime late on Wednesday afternoon. Ridiculously excited now. It's going to be a very unproductive couple of days in work.

About to go and fill the campervan up with diesel and cider, only 24 hours to go and then will be a short drive down to the site. Have some how missed a bit of the usual excitement due to other things going on in life, but can feel it building now.

Toast

Anyone camp in Kidney Mead before? thinking heading that way since Arcadia got moved up beside Pennards.

Neggie alert: as a many-time Glasto attender, I became disillusioned with it. It no longer seems like a music festival. The whole 'it doesn't matter who is playing' mantra highlights the issue with it. Who is playing should be the priority.. The festival seems to draw people who have little or no interest in music, who go to sit in a field and drink beer. Don't get me wrong, I like doing that, but it prevents real music fans from going.

The site is just too big. To see the bands you want to see, you might have an hour walk ahead of you and in the mud, this can be double.

Possie alert: as a many-time Glasto attender, I become ever more amazed with it. It has never been just a music festival. The whole 'it doesn't matter who is playing' mantra highlights the what is so great with it. Who is playing shouldn't be the priority.. The festival seems to draw a wide range of people, some who love a wide variety of music, or others who are happy to go to sit in a field and drink beer cider. I love that there is something for everyone and all interests, ages and music tastes are welcome.

The site is just so big. To see the bands you want to see, you might have an hour walk ahead of you and in the mud, this can be double.

Flying from Belfast on Wed morn. Can't come soon enough.

Never been despite a few years of trying, however my tuppence worth would be that it doesn't matter who is playing cos it's Glasto and you are guaranteed to see some amazing stuff somewhere.

Hear what you're saying about the hikes though, that could be an issue.

That forecast hasn't changed for most of the day. Will still be watching tomorrow.


Tempted to ask MT Cranium in the weather forum for the heads up. But too scared to venture in there. Lol

I'm tempted not to bring wellies, to save space for flying. Bad call?

Bring the fecking wellies and stop trying to curse us all! Always always bring wellies or gaiters.

I packed all socks and underwear in bags inside the wellies for space.

Toast

Wear the wellies over on the plane. Don't worry lots of people will be doing it.

The guy I was originally meant to be going with went in to hospital about 2 weeks ago and can't go. Queue me ringing around all my mates to see if anyone matching his description was free to go, seeing as it's all paid for. The guy who said he'd go is just after ringing me saying he can't afford it. Great ****ing timing!

So now it looks like I'm going on my own Don't suppose anyone else is going by themselves too?
