Going to Glasto early?

[glasto_mongrel_2008]

NO no and no...there b'aint nowt like T'Tor!!!

It is the name of the hill that has a big old tower on top of this crazily steep hill...you must have seen it...its the big old tower that is on top of this crazily steep hill that you can see from the Pyramid Stage if looking in the right direction!!!

HERE is the Wiki about it.

There has been lots of mystical shit talked about it for years but Aubrey Manning...an old dude that likes archaeology and so on...his show from 2003 about it was repeated the other day on the Beeb. And the weird paths that seem to wind their way around the hill are in fact medieval farming plots cos there was very little useable land in the olden days cos...funnily enough the whole area was a bit wet underfoot!!! Remind you of somewhere else we know well???

It aint called the ISLE of Avalon for no reason!

We all pile up there cos that is the law! Its the only big hill for miles around. Theres a full 360 view from the top and you can see the festy from it...and at night...its stuning and makes you go very wibbly indeed!!!

Will that do hun?

I'll have a wander up the Tor during the day

[LusciousLucy]

SO...folks one and all...

as the day for leaving approaches and this thread gets ever longer and longer...and hijacked! ...can we possibly get a reasserting of what is actually happening listed please?

Who is going?

What time and how we are arriving - lifts from station/who needs or is getting bus etc?

When are we leaving for Avebury and when we heading back to camp and how?

Is the British GP being shown anywhere nearby...VERY IMPORTANT...or else not attending!?

Cars and numbers of seats available for non car types and their gear?

What the plan is for Monday?

What are we all doing for food...offer of cooking still there for wkend btw if money pot is still the plan?

Old Oaks camping - who is pitched with who and are there spare places in tents too?

Thank you very much...a tall order maybe but as the day to leave gets even closer I am still pretty much in the dark about what is happening even after being reassured all is well but havent got any confirmations from anyone about important stuff like lifts, tent space and leaving/arrival times.

Ta verily. Me xxx

As for the taxi/coach I booked that and It will pick us up at 18.15 on sat, and pick us up again at 05.45-06.00am on the sunday.

It turns out I still need to sort out a camping spot for myself at old oaks as what I had organised no longer is...so as the spots are for 2 people/tents, does anyone have a spot that they are happy to share at all?

who is going to need a lift from avebury to old oaks via the cider farm etc as above?

Hope that helps!

[Paul ™]

Too much questions.. just turn up and enjoy it

Ok, serious issue guys, as my previous booking at old oaks was cancelled, I just rang them up to book it in my name this time and they said they are now all booked up!!!

So if anyone has a spare spot for me to crash in on monday and tuesday, I would be very grateful, as at the moment, its looking like Im gonna have to sleep in the car

[glasto_mongrel_2008]

Also... sorry for earlier thread hijacking. Of course it was largely Alf's flamin' fault.

[Fairies for Change]

Just bought my ticket too...see you there mate! Yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Avebury dont know whats going to hit it!!!

I'll have a wander up the Tor during the day but I aint walking up no Tor when Im pissed. I doubt I'll be going up to see the sunrise either - I'll see one at avebury and one during the fest at the stone circle, how many do I really need to see?

Miserable bastard I know!

I'm sure I'll have space in my tent for one more on the Tuesday. I'm guessing after the pub, we all wont be bothered where we fall sleep

[llcoolphil]

As far as I know, there are 4 of us getting the same train to Pewsey on Saturday. That being yourself, DaveLetorey, me (Erin) and my better half Gaz. We're getting in at 13.41, right?

I know that llcoolphil, offered lifts from the station a few pages back. Will you be there around that time Sir? Or anyone else for that matter?

If it turns out that we four are too early for lifts, I'm sure a taxi between four will cost next to nothing, or at least the same price as a one way ticket on the wiggle bus. (I love that it's called wiggle bus!!!)

No seriosuly.... I'm having terrible trouble concentrating in work today.

Well I havent booked a pitch at Old Oaks either cos I was told to hope that there would be a spot in a tent. I am sure though...under cover of darkness and not really giving a fook...I can prob at least crash with Chocky maybe...he put up with me in Oz for long enough!!! He has a 4 man...and we wont be sleeping overnight anyway if heading up to the Tor for sunrise!

Phil...we still on for Brizzle Banksy trip on Monday? :angry:

[llcoolphil]

Oh yes - I am sooooooo bloody excited, you wouldn't believe it

[Staberinde]

Sorry...were you including Mikey and me as lodgers on the Tuesday...cos we were under some vague impression that was what had been done? Oh eck...too complicated!

[LusciousLucy]

Well we havent spoken since I left Exeter...havent got a clue what he has planned..being cryptic as ever and never a straight word out of the bloke...so...whatever and hey ho!

I've just found this picture and wanted to make sure that the hill in the background is definitely NOT the Tor one that we will be climbing

[hombrederayo]

That looks like the Tor I drunkenly walked up last year to me!
