Got sorted in the resale, but trying hard for one of my daughters who didn't get a ticket. I can see a time in the not too distant, when 3 generations of us will be there!

Stevie P-alike Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 My kids took me for my 60th birthday (luckily it was the Stones year). Have been every year since. Ironically, I got a ticket this year, and two of my kids didn't. I'll be travelling down solo on one of the London coaches. Should be interesting.....

Have learnt how to survive it better since My friend got trench foot at his first. Walking round in wellies with no socks, third day his feet looked like a lump of coral. He survived. That was also the year someone made us super noodles with tequila thinking it was water that was a bit rank. Hands down the worst breakfast i ever had.

I grew up with people who went during the chaotic fence-jumping 90's and the stories of being stripped searched, mugged or of portaloos being set on fire used to terrify me when I was younger. Now it seems like a tranquil oasis in comparison and I can't deny that a part of me wishes I could rewind and tell my wimpy teen self to go experience Glastonbury in it's rawer form.

Stevie P-alike Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I bet it was pretty lawless in those days. Not sure I'd fancy that to be honest. My lad has his sleeping bags and mattress stolen, bought a whole new set, and returned the next night to find that had been stolen too. The good old days always sound better than they were if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiftyp9 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I was an idiot who refused to go for years. "Why would I want to go camp with a load of people and get my stuff stolen... get wet... get muddy... blah blah blah" I got bullied into going in 2011 and have hated myself since for not going years earlier! idiot!
