Definately get there on Wednesday if you can. And with you coming from Glasgow I doubt you will care about the football, therefore allowing you to wander around the site and get your bearings without it being too crowded! Enjoy!

have a good look at this { sorry its over 5 mb } Glasto panoramic and the camera does not give you a sense of scale but Glasto is vast - lucky enough in recent years they have made up many signposts so as long as you know what is around you you should make it back.

i usually drive from glasgow every year. (not this year tho, getting a lift in a minibus)..

leaving after midnight on the tues will still get you down there at 7am. driving over night means you avoid any traffic and get a straight run to the festie. get the tent up early and as a driver, your spangled as soon as you start as your looking at the road all night...

never done it any other way, and even if your a little tired when you get there, the sight of the festie soons picks you up

Before you set off try to change your Scottish notes for English ones as it will delay your service at the bar as the staff are not used to them.

when in actual fact they are more legal tender in England than in Scotland.

The earlier you arrive, the better the chance you have to get a good spot. Wednesday before nightfall is always a good bet, depends how many of you there are though.

Have a safe drive down - it's a hell of a long way that!

it's decided, i'll leave about 10 on the tuesday night drive till about half way, stop have a couple of hours sleep. should be down early on the wed. your right it is a long way more worried about the return journey after the excesses of the weekend so we will stop off in a hotel on way back up north.
