• Forget to put on suncream and wonder why you suddenly feel like a bag of ass in the afternoon

 

If this happens head to a festival info stand to get a generous dollop - they’ve got stacks of the stuff!

Pick up and bin some litter that's not yours. (None of it should be yours!)

[Pipine]

I also haven’t really spent any time at the temple (except years ago to bash the sweets out of a giant piñata which is one of my fav Glastonbury memories 😂)

I will endeavour to put that right this year.. sunrise set at the temple.

I would add to the list:

- Go to Rimski’s yard or catch up with some of the Threatre field walkabouts and get involved in whatever random weirdness is going on

This reminds me of leaving the SE corner one Monday morning at about 6am.

I was among hoards of people heading towards the stone circle, when a security guard stopped me and inquired as to why I was the only one who looked "normal".

 

Amazing.  Top marks for holding it together so well.  I would have laughed myself into a puddle if a security guard said that to me at 6am!

I don't want to be that guy, but I don't think there's some kind of wishlist of things that you should do to "do Glasto properly" or "have a proper Glasto experience".

Do whatever you want, just make sure you're creating a positive environment.

Respect each other, help each other, ask randos how they are, let people be if they wish to be left alone, sit in front of the Pyramid all day, or never see a single Pyramid act and spend all weekend at the Stone Circle tripping on acid.

100%. I like to think of these more as suggestions

Prob not to the extent of the past. I'm sure there must be a few people still up there doing it.

w*nk in the long drops 

[Aragorn]

I have loads of things every year I "intend" to do - never do any of them as there are so many distractions

[Skip997]

I always make sure I have a go on the Greenpeace climbing wall before I'm too wasted to do so.

Let's create a conclusive list of things you HAVE to see/do/eat to say you've had the full Glasto Experience...

I'll start with just a few...

1. Cheer the sunset

3. Hug multiple random people

4. Take part in some kind of healing fields ceremony/workshop

5. Dance until the sun comes up at least once

6. Eat and sing with the Hare krishnas

7. Send a postcard home

8. Make something in the craft fields 

Continue....

Is this a coded way of suggesting "don't do number 2s?"

I've still never been there. Might try and keep hold of @bennyhana22's coat tails and let him drag me there this year

I’d go as far as saying it’s my favourite ever late night venue. 

So good in there.

Did you know that the dragon gets cleaned every year just before the event.

There is an official Dragon keeper on site.

1. Enjoy a  Growler or Big Dog
2. Queue up for, but fail to get into the Secret Piano Bar
3. Queue up for, but give up before getting into the Rabbit Hole
4. Drop something valuable into a toilet
5. Lose an item of footwear in deep mud
6. Forget seeing bands, but go and listen to cheesy music in a bar and end up joining a conga line  (aye aye aye).
7. Forget where your tent is because you remembered an eye-catching flag nearby that has since been removed...
8. Forget to lock the cubicle door and have it opened by a stranger mid-shit.

Not sure I'm getting this, but all things that have happened to me and / or friends.

 

Sorry I need clarification on no.8, do you have to be mid shit or is the stranger mid shit when they open the door on you?  Both are distinct possibilities to be fair.

Sad that the growler stand is no longer there so new attendees will never be able to sample the delights one of Pauline Fowlers finest!

It gets a tough review but there should always be a place for fowlers growler it done a job when needed 

[Evilmonkeydan]

Catch a sunrise chorus at the stone circle.

Set aside time to get lost, for a morning/afternoon/evening explore the crevasses, Glasto is more adult amusement park than music festival and get involved in the randomness that happens.

 

Follow SecretGlasto (assuming it’s manned this year) to pick up good info and secret sets and the lineups for stages that announce day to day.
