Gate D from East of England

[matthagon]

Hi all

Looking for some advice for the best route to take coming from Norfolk to get around to the parking for Gate D. I have seen that a good way is to aim for the Tescos in Glastonbury town and follow the signs as dont really trust google maps as it might take me into some traffic. Any advice welcome. Cheers

i second this, if anyone can help with advice.. @matthagon where did you see the advice re Tesco in Glastonbury Town? 

[matthagon]

it was on another Forum post. It wasnt much more detailed than head for Tesco and then follow the signs so cannot elaborate i am afraid!

Found it! I think this way takes you around the site and you come back on yourself. This is the tesco on a google map posted by @GoonerRob

Yeah just map to the tesco, grab yourself a few crates then follow the signs to the festival from there - its how we always do it and we aim for the orange car parks / gate D. 

If you're there about 11pm, you'll see us there!

Thanks Rob. We are setting off about 10pm from Norfolk so you might be a bit ahead of us!

Perfect, thanks! 

We want to be south-west this year and I've only ever camped in Big Ground. The thought of walking from the blue carpark to Paines/Park Home is horrible.. 

We're not setting off from London until 4am.. @GoonerRob have you ever arrived around this time/know what the traffic build up is like on the highways south of the site?

No sorry mate, we usually leave London between 8 and 11pm tonight (tuesday). We generally get no traffic at all. If you leave at 4am, you should arrive about 7 which Id guess would have a bit more as i think a lot of people will do that.

Thanks for your help lads. Upvotes all round. Have a great festival!
