Am I right in thinking they opened up the campsite to people coming via public transport today? Because of the strikes

General Camping opened at 2pm. I just wandered up to that end of the site, mainly because in all the years I've been coming to GM I've never been up there.

Buses are dropping people off that end and there's a few tents up but not many at all so far. 

Here's a nice picture of the river from the bridge by Orange gate.

How’s it looking where we camp; think you know? Just your side of Tangerine Fields near the river. Not sure where family camping is.

Empty when I went up there earlier.

Cheers. Like to camp next to the pre-pitched tents; it gives you a nice straight-line walk to the main path.

Sorry I'm sure this has already been asked somewhere but how far  am i likely to be pulling my trolley from the car park to where i camp? And is doing 2 journeys feasible? My wife's just got out of hospital so won't be much help with the stuff!
 

 

hi depends on how much stuff! It’s not a huge distance. Probably a few minutes 5-10 from car to wristband then 10- 20 mins to middle of the site (without stuff). I usually go with my daughter and it’s two journeys each but we do take the kitchen sink!

Is it this bit? If so I just took this.

Further along down the river just past the back of the main stage.

Current view of Settlers. Clouds clinging to the mountains, faint drizzle around.

As you can see the field is pretty busy, the area to the right of the second picture is Family camping. It's not completely rammed but there's never been this number of people here at this point. Normally the Family area is half empty before Thursday.

We are camped very close to there 👀

If anyone's waiting until 10 for the live in vehicles to open, they opened about 8 and you can get quite close to the showers

What are the searches like on the way in?

It looks like the "secret" bar will be behind the bar near round the twist.  There's certainly something behind there.

Could be but there's always been something behind there, I'd always assumed it was some VIP/crew/performers thing. The music is always on late

Really sad to see the community cafe gone… but will save me thousands of calories in 3am dragon hot dogs

It's a crew bar and catering

Do we know who the special guests are yet?

Having a piss and watching shits fall into a glorified wheelie bin is.....interesting....

If anyone has any words to describe that Kraftwerk gig please do let me know because it seems to have rendered me temporarily speechless and slightly emotional.

Boring?!? 😜

Cate le Bon brought Gruff Rhys on for one song at the end of her set, surely he’s not just here for that - potential special guest?

I've asked at the sound desk and stage and they don't know. It's definitely a slot but they don't know who will take, if it all.

We loved the whole set but unfortunately most people around us weren’t sure whether they were coming or going hence a lot of talking. Also sad to say that the guy blowing massive bubbles was getting more appreciation around us. Glad I saw them though.
