How old are we all here on Efests nowadays?

[sedra]

Am in the final category now of over 60! 😕 At 62 I definitely will be feeling it this year due to recent mobility issues. The mind is willing but the body has started to break down!😕

My brain really wasn't ready for my age to be in the latter half of the option boxes. Why are the under-30s broken into so many smaller groups?!

At least it's not as bad as some of those dissertation questionnaires where the last age bracket was 35+

I think that might be because it's first thing on a Sunday morning.

We’re either up with kids (30s-40s) or are so old the body doesn’t require sleep any more.

31 next month and feeling it 👵

Most definitely. Birthday falls on the 28th so I'll be recovering by then 😆

As someone who recently turned 40 I am incredibly grateful it’s still in the “30’s” box to tick.

😄

Same here... almost - Actually I'm even more grateful as I  was allowed to tick the 51 to 60 box rather than the 60+ box

Our 0500s are often unintended.  We have a habit of heading to the Bimble for a nightcap around 0200 and only when there realising it's diametrically opposite and a mile walk stumble back to Tangerine Fields. Every year we tell ourselves not to do it...every year we do 🤣

Thank fuck there isn’t a 65 + box to tick, that’s all I can say.  I used my state pension heating allowance to pay my ticket balance 😁

And what time is your nighttime curfew ? If you say 5am I’m going to cry

whenever the main stages end, then a wander around the site, just enjoying the sights and atmosphere,  some food, a drink in the Avalon bar then crawl up to WV around 2 to 3  for a tea and a seat looking over the whole site

Clicked my group in fear of finding the results skewed towards the youngsters, but delighted to find I'm in the most popular group of ageing fucks on the board! 45 in September. Still have no earthly clue what I'm doing.

Similar here. Our sons (21 and 24) are generally back at the caravan well before us (and not just because we're slower getting up the Hill of Death!)

Don't worry about it. You'll still have no clue in your 60s!

I’m turning 39 on Thursday!

Hoping to celebrate my 40th on the farm next year.

With us it’s  trying to make the most of every minute of the festival, because, in the words of the late great Sandy Denny, who knows where the time goes!

They are back in fashion, your all good!

There's only one other person in my group, I thought there was a decent amount more younger people honestly!

Haha, I’m 52 and just come back from Hard Rock Hell in Ibiza and i was the last one out at 4am every night and all but one of the group are younger than me (note that I didn’t say last man standing)

Shocked to discover that I created this account on eFestivals on April 12, 2003.

Also, I noticed that once I became 50 I became invisible. Which used to quite annoy me but now feels quite good.

36 sometimes I feel it but reading some of the older crews posts on here makes me have a quiet word with myself.

[Junglist1981]

When I got into my 40s I realised how wrong I was to ever think I was old in my 30s. No doubt when I get to my 50s it’ll be the same with my 40s. And so on. 

Dunno what the moral of that is tbh. You’re only ever as old as you feel maybe? Basically I’ve completely stopped worrying about it now.

A DJ I follow on Instagram was moaning about how old they felt on their mid 20somethingth birthday the other day. I definitely made this actual face ->🙄
