Glastonbury tube map

[deadstillstanding]

Hey everyone, long time no post. So long my avatar and post count have crashed out! Hope you're all doing good.

I volunteer on the Green Welfare tent (next to the railway and Croissant Neuf) these days. As well as providing anonymous support to anyone that needs it (lost kids, lost souls, anyone that's losing it a bit) we end up giving directions a lot. I've tried making a simple map of the major walking routes and stages based on the style of the classic Tube map. We might make a poster for the tent or something. I've had to make a bunch of compromises to make it work which will be instantly obvious to veterans - some access points aren't shown, naming shortcuts, distances and angles have been normalised - but I hope it still helpfully lays most stuff out.

So I wanted to see what you all reckon? Anything unhelpful I could fix before I print it? Bear in mind I can't add much - it's already pretty packed. Looking forward to your thoughts.

That is impressive! I am struggling to make any suggestions that wouldn't over complicate it. I think that you have captured everything apart from perhaps the Gate D to Sonic connection. Well done!

[Joshuwarr]

This is really good!

[bombfrog]

Brilliant.

If it's actually the correct layout for all the main pathways (which on first glance it seems to be) then I might print it myself. I'm always getting lost between pyramid and the SE corner.

[Dillyblue]

What a great idea! Love it! I think I will print myself a copy!!! X

[guypjfreak]

should really have disabled field on there old son ..you know all pc and all lol

bloody great tho old son better than the one they had on shirts a few years back

[billum]

Yes fantastic! Very helpful indeed. Having the Glastonbury sign is a really good idea as it'll help people orientate themselves.

That is first rate pal, very well done and i'd say a money-spinner if you were to put your mind to it ! 

[RobertProsineckisLighter]

Proper smart. 

 

They do those city pub stop maps like this too, could make a glastonbury pub stop map.

Nice work..

Some things I'd personally change..

I don't think it's possible to walk from Strummerville to the Crows Nest without descending the hill, going along the back of the Tipis, and then re-climbing the hill.

I'd stop the Grey line at the Acoustic - for me, the Police compound and PGB more naturally fit north of Williams Green as a continuation of the Main Drag when it turns into Muddy Lane. Or maybe do that and have the Grey line turn left to join up with the Blue line at a new junction "Cockmill Family Camping"

Right you are. Will add that.

Yeah, good shout. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I remember walking from the top of Kings Meadow across behind/uphill of the tipis to the top of the Park... but then I don't trust my memory very much so... will check that one tomorrow!

Great work!

Does this now mean the monorail is actually a thing?

Genius! Please could you post the updated version once you've made the suggested adjustments?

Great work, would have been a great addition to the mini guide, put it forward for next year. Will print out and give to the new members of our group.

[Duncan Doughnuts]

A work of genius - although you may want to add travel zones.

[eFestivals]

If you go to Pilton Village Hall, you'll see that maps in this style already exist - it's already been done.
