One Thing You Have To Do or See

[ashcoates]

What is the one thing that you have to see or do whilst you are at the festival?

This is my first Glasto (been to the much maligned V Festival for the past 6 years) and I would like to know what is the one thing that you go back to every year?

Hopefully by the time comes around I'll have a decent list of things to experience once I get there!

Cheers!!!

Yep fill us in guys!

From what i gather the cider bus and stone circle are a must!

If it's your first festival, as soon as you're camped and settled, take the looooong walk up through the greefields and into Kings Meadow, to the Stone Circle. DON'T look behind you till you get RIGHT to the top. Then turn round and look at the best view in Christendom...

Ride the monrail, the queues are usually huge but it's totally worth it just to say you've done it

[xxtinkerbellxx]

Thers a monorail?

The stone circle isn't where the view is anymore though is it? It's the flag field above the Park, now THAT'S a view

Get there on Wednesday so you can have a good wander about, go to the cider bus & the Brothers bar & generally get your bearings

Don't try and run between stages to catch bands that overlap - the sites just far too big & you'll end up just missing stuff

Wander away from the main stages, especailly at night, when all manner of weird and wonderfulness will be found

Go listen to Tony Benn in the leftfield. Amazing speaker, the essence of Glastonbury to me.

Be up near our camp site in Big Ground ( we look down onto the Pyramid Stage - and can see most of the site )

at the time it is just getting dark on the Wednesday night. Some lights start to appear all over the site and

a big cheer goes up.

It is the most beautiful sight in the world !

Very spiritual and etheral !

sunrise at the stone circle. it's so amazing to the see the sun come up over the hill, and the roar of the hardcore 50 or so people still up and partying. obviously weather permitting!!

dancing your nuts off outside joe bananas late at night with loads of people off their faces!

Thers a monorail?

[talullah]

watch a sunset or a sunrise....

[Addicted_Adele]

roll down a hill and fall in some rubbish!!

[MikeyB37]

and a nice shiny badge to commemorate your riding of said monorail of course ...

Wait until your noisey neighbours go out for a wonder, then sneak into their tent and sh*t in your sleeping bag. It's great fun I do it every year. Didn't have any noisey neighbours last year so just Sh*t in the nearest empty tent. Glasto is like that "anything goes". Can't wait for June to come around again.

One good recomendation

'Get lost'

not in a rude way, but for one time during the festival, ignore the 'who's on' and the 'where shall I go next' and just wander about and soak up the atmosphere, follow your nose, find something good to eat.

[hayleycurran1704]

yeah-'bimble'-thats a word I only use at Glastonbury, bimble around, see whats going on, see what you can find, explore, chat to random people, get lost-its brilliant!
