Glasto with a wheelchair and carer

[UnderwaterFunk]

Hey guys, heading to Glasto for the first time with my dad who's in a wheelchair, we're caming in Spring Ground (accessible campsite), and I was just wondering if i could get any tips / shared experiences / guide from anybody who has done Glasto in a wheelchair or as a carer? Any replies would be a huge help even if it's stuff you've seen as a regular Glasto go-er

 

cheers!

Howdy!

I've no experience myself of using the facilities but there's a thread here that might help answer some questions.

i feel quite bad for people in wheel chairs, in terrain like this i can see it being a challenge, lets pray to the mud gods for a better year this year

I've just seen this and was just about to post Andy (my husband's) blog, but you beat me to it, so thank you! His top 10 tips blogs are a good place to start.

@UnderwaterFunk, I was his PA, so if you have any questions please do get in touch. We'll also be going again this year and be staying in Spring Ground, so maybe we'll see you!
