Massive but moving really quickly at gate d. Done three car park fields in 15 mins.

Edit 9:08am at the top of orange 36.

Wouldn't get too excited about the speed of queue movement just yet. A lot will be down to people now standing up and so creating more space for those at the back to move forward. Doesn't mean it's moving at any great speed at the front.

Mates pulled into the carpark at 0753 and now in the snake at Gate D. 

 

Not me, waiting for a coach in Brum.

I've got a few more hours before I can even claim to be waiting for the coach. :(

 

Bit different to normally sat in the campervan fields, having coffee and breakfast and watching the hoardes snake past on their way into the site and trying to figure out when we're in a fit state to join the queue ourselves.

I predict high pressure early on leading to low pressure and more unsettled periods as the morning progresses.

What’s the latest on the crisp situation? Anyone else had anything confiscated?

[fightoffyour]

Security are currently sweeping for pickled onion monster munch, anything else has a pass for now.

[Pinhead]

Made it in. Pitched. Beer by 10am! Absolutely knackered - really long route and will suffer returning Mon I expect. Likely will get lost altogether in fact...

[Pinhead]

Nearly there people - Big Ground and next to that quite dense now - probably some smaller tent pitches still going.

Been a victim of a crisp packet confiscation or are just relaying rumours they have heard (that may have started here)? 

[Tommy Dickfingers]

Can someone be a little more straightforward than talking about crisps.

I assume there are no dogs.

Are they patting everyone down?

Searching pockets?

Making you empty your pockets?

Searching bags?

Thanks.

Completely separate they’ve been asked at sticklinch … I’d trust them

How’s the coach entry queue? Currently 1hr out from the site on the 5am London bus. 

I’m on the 6am bus, 30min away, traffic has been mad x

[Larraht]

Gate A driver queue hasn't moved at all for the last 20 mins! Just frying here...don't think they are letting anyone through at the moment.

If there are dogs then it will be mostly for show and TV with shots of searches happening. Would likely need every trained dog from around the country to cover the size and number of people in the queues, and doubt they would have each dog able to work for long in the heat outside.

[BobWillis2]

Keep in your “crisps” in your pants and you’ll be fine. 

[Crazyfool01]

D looks like the queue to go for if you have the a and d option

Agreed, some genuinely useful information would be good instead of spreading absolute nonsense about security confiscating crisps.
