Had a great time, spent wednesday and thursday walking around the greenfields, then off to cider bus, then off to some place to dance all night! Kaz turned up Friday which took a while to meet up as i was waiting at West carparks and she parked in east - by then my phone was on its last legs. Camping in Dragonfield was well handy for Bimble inn - defo camping near there at Beaut Days this year.

More rain than any previous Glasto ever - but less deep mud cos of all the drainage. Still heavily blistered feet!!

Best Glasto i've had in the last three.

Spent Solstice eve forging Iron in the craft field, had a bop in Lost Vagueness (but it was too packed usually) bought a pint (or more) in 32 of the bars on site. Wandering the site at dawn on the Solstice was superb - especially Banyan Cafe and a dance tent in the Park - which is a great addition.

Blagged a Workers Beer shirt and helped myself to a beer occasionally. Didn't bother with Pyramid met loads of people - Seth Lakeman, Katie Melua, Corrinne Bailey Ray, 3 Daft Monkeys, the blokes from Pama International and Lee 'Scratch' Perry Band, lead singer of Hazar and Cortina Deluxx

Thank god for the Mrs arriving Friday - East 6 is the last carpark so easy to get out - the mudbath we walked past to get to the car - had me worried - hope people get off site ok today.

My fave Glasto since 2000 - so much better to totally avoid main and other stages, saw 45 acts, visited 32 bars. Thought the rain meant the mud stayed slushy and movable - if it dried out it would have been hell. More rainfall than anyprevious year I reckon? Would i be right?

Is it me or is LV a little boring? Nothing new this year, when it kept evolving it was so much better.

Despite the media moaning cos of a lack of indie kids i thought the atmosphere was sooo much better for the lack of pissed up teens - perhaps they stayed in their tents?

All the headliners were great, Bellowhead and SAW Doctors especially. Avalon and Jazzworld made my weekend.

Late n Live was a god send, an oasis from the mud and some great future talent displayed, (I notice coming back last night that Radio1 are saying they've found these great acts - think Glasto found them first!!!) and the DJs were superb - had me singing all day!

Bimble Inn, cheap beer, Chai Tent and tipi nekkid mud wrestling - had me grinning.

3 Daft Monkeys ("we thought this was a beer tent") and Pama International set up my festie vibe in Leftfield! Woah it's a big tent now!

Forging iron on solstice morning was the dogs! The craft bit of Glasto sets it head and shoulders above any other festival! Make your own wooden sofa! Bargain! Talking of Solstice thought the celebrations were rubbish - one solitary drummer? You drummers should be ashamed!

Park Field is a winner, a festival in itself. Shame about the horrendous mud, but in principle it looks lovely (nice feminine touches) and will be terrific on a drier year. Loved the rabbit hole although it did freak me out!

Corb Lund & The Hurtin' Albertans and Rise Kagona & Champion Doug Veitch were the finds of the festival for me. Guilty Pleasures Live - Suggs doing Love is in the air was fantastic! Fat Freddies Drop were the biggest energy of the festival. John Fogerty rocked but his crew should be admonished for appalling behaviour stage side, pinning the stage manager!! - which stopped Rodrigo and Gabriella being on time.

Seth Lakeman's new stuff sounds wicked. Eat Static rocked in the Glade. CSS and Duke Spirit were my flavour of new music. Arcade Fire failed to deliver and much of the crowd were idiots. Pyramid was far too quiet sound wise.

Screens at the other stage! wow what a difference!

Met loads of people, new and old.

Well done to the infrastructure for keeping it going! Much better mud than any previous year, more seating like that in Jazzworld around a few other stages would be nice.
