I’ve never queued overnight and it looks hellish to me 😁 start the festival knackered and broken? Nooooooo  

 

Well I'm still up packing and printing stuff off ready for a 5am start in the road, still need to shower...

 

The night queuers will probably be less knackered and broken than me!

I'm in E18 near the path and there is a steady slog of people heading past now. Cant be bothered to put my shoes on and go and check the Gate C q, sorry 🙂

 

but the barriers are setup differently this year, one wide lane staring just opposite where the ice cream van usually parks, that then heads to the fence, along the barrier for staff camping, couldn't spot any zig zagging, so it'll fill up quickly unless the barriers get jiggled about later.

Seems like a great way to ruin your festival due to sleep deprivation but each to their own. 

[Pinhead]

Left earlier than last year and even further back at B - deffo far more busy compared to last year.

Just arrived at our AirBnB in Coxley. Planning a leisurely start leaving here at 10am and heading to Tangerine Fields then. Hoping the roads are kind and the gate is clear by the time I arrive.

Rain is the least worrying thing for completely insane people 

I saw a chubby c*ck and balls finger drawn on the back windscreen of a car on site this afternoon with GLASTO written underneath. 

 

Made me chuckle. 

[gherkin8r]

Gate B similarly busy to 2022. Zig zag about 80% full now 

[Pinhead]

Think I'm practically in your lane looking at that pic! Deffo more peeps arrived earlier this year I reckon and I left earlier too and was placed nearer. More stewards here this year too keeping an eye on things.

Pic looks closer to the front than I am in reality. I've about 10 runs to the car and back to do I reckon.

Gate A surprisingly quiet at the moment, just barely filing the second row

FFS I was gonna head over that side but got spooked by posts about car parks and how busy it was driving past 

[Charliehmiller]

Any news from gate c? 

[Franky]

What news from Gate D? 

[Suprefan]

So they added airport scanners to the gates? let us kno how that makes bag searches

That's odd , my mate just walked right in 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Why would they add airport scanners?  You're allowed to take in the things that they scan for.

[dotdash79]

Just arrived at gate a and in the 5th row, I had to park in pink but I’m next to the crossing so not too bad

[Franky]

They have now closed off Gate D 

 

I am THE last person in the queue

Who knows, maybe its a council thing. But I guess people will find out in 4 hours if its a thing or not.

Gate A relatively empty but starting to fill up - we were diverted from D when shut and looks like struck gold!

[EavisAintDead]

The sun has risen at gate A 

 

First time I’ve had my bag searched in any capacity before entering the zigzags

[Dreamingofsunnydays]

Just joined gate b. We normally get ferried towards gate c but they’ve decided to park us at the top of a mountain and closer to gate B. This is a new experience…
