Glastonbury Festival 1999

Thursday 1st July 1999


It was a great time for all of us.

Except of course being robbed on Wednesday night.

I went to the toilet, and it was probably a good thing I got lost on my way back.

We were only about 50 yards from the loos, but it took me 45 minutes to find my tent!

I finally found it, and a youth barged passed me with a knife in his hand, I ran back to the tent, and found that my fellow campers (whom we met there) had woken up with a knife to their throats.

The 2 youths that were 'inside' the tent demanded money, whilst the other 2/3 young men kept a look out.

They got away with 220 pounds, and a new mobile phone.

We then discovered that another 4 tents (just in our 'local area') had been attacked.

On Thursday we moved our tents, so we were under the 24 hr cafe, and we had a great time.

On Fri/Sat we caught as many bands as we could, went back to our tents, and got drunk!

It was such a good atmosphere, and most people were really friendly.

On Sunday we didn't go to sleep as we had to leave the site @ 4am in order to catch our train.

All the staff/officials/bus drivers were really helpful, and I wish to see them all next year.

Take care fellow festivalers.

P.S. THE WEATHER WAS GREAT!!!
