Glasto Mad Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've been Glastonbury twice now, first in 2007 and then in 2008. After the mud madness of the first year I'd say don't forget to bring a campervan - as it made 07 not that bad. As a generally recommendation I'd say an obvious don't forget to watch sunrise. Its such a great experience. Can anyone else recommend things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggum Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 - Send a postcard home! - Go for a walk at 4/5 in the morning (definitely do this) - Drink lots of brothers - Spend some time at the comedy/cabaret bits - Talk to strangers (something I should do more) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie1973 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 spread the love. I don't mean literally (although be my guest if that's what you want ) I mean - the very thing that makes Glastonbury special is people doing nice things and caring for one another. It gives you hope that the rest of the world need not be as shoddy as it generally is. Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypnotiseme Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 -A visit to the Stone Circle is definetly a must (especially at sunset) -A wander around the Green Fields -Take time out to visit the strange and wonderful places which are scattered everwhere (the Rabbit Hole/the Underground Piano bar) -Trash City is definetly worth a visit especially late at night or in the early hours as theres something always happening -As alreadly said, a walk at 4/5 in the morning as theres always people up and the whole festival is eerily quiet but still has a special, mysterious buzz around -A trip to the Circus fields -Sample food from organic, hippy type looking stores - espcially up near the Green Fields and near the Park Stage as its lovely -Don't spend all your time around the Pyramid and Other Stage (or do, it depnds what you like) but really spend some time wandering around and discovering new places. As there is, quite literally, a suprise around every corner. Glasto never fails to amaze me with it's unique appeal. There is so much more to Glasto than the Kasabians, and the Blurs! Its an adventure ready to be grasped hold of and explored! -Most importantly - HAVE FUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffystar Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 You can indeed, done it a couple of times. Have a mooch around the stalls and there are a few postcard ones dotted about, I think there is one just on from the dance village, but don't quote me on that...
