It's tradition 08 !

[ding dong]

It might be the visit to the stone circle or that first Brothers cider..

What is your traditional , sentimental, superstitious thing you have to do at Glasto, EVERY YEAR.

Last year i hid a plectrum in a , hopefully safe place. (somewhere the cows couldn't eat it..or animal cold be harmed )

If it is there still i will use it and re hide it.

wow, if thats still there that would be awesome!

I dont have a tradition as such, but I have always camped in the same field every year and dont intend on camping anywhere different this year. I also always do my best to see the sunrise on monday morning, the only time I have ever failed was last year when the rain was just too intense.

We hid a sandwich at school to see if the cleaners found it. It was still there at the end of summer term (Thats going back over 24 years now

i've only been to glasto once, but i've got a very strong festival tradition of "no cider 'til the tent's up".

unfortunately last years hike from Gate B to Dragon Field ( ) kinda broke that tradition as cider was NEEDED.

Missing the turning for the A37 in Bristol is mandatory.

More of a ritual than a tradition, we put on the same compilation 70s album while we set up camp to set the scene. Only after the last peg has gone into the ground, beds inflated and everything is set up do we sit down and indulge in our preferred beverage. We then get the bbq going and chill before going for a wander around the site. We arrive on the Saturday before the gates open on the Wednesday (working for Oxfam Stewarding) and almost have the camping field to ourselves. On the Tuesday night we hold a party for around 100 stewards. Feeling hungover on the Wednesday, it's great watching the first arrivals all excited setting up their own tents and we get to meet and greet whoever our new neighbours are for the weekend

A lunched out lizards chai tea, spliff and a game of flux, altho I never played flux last year, and have only been twice, it seems like tradition in my head.

[hulk mike]

get the tents up, have a good hearty breakfast bbq, then go fall asleep in the long grass at the top of the stones, wait for all my less keen mates to drag themselves on site!

Drinking chai tea in Chai Wallah's (near where we camp) at the end of a 'blissful' night...

(We haven't been enough times for this to be a tradition yet, but it will doubtless become one.)

For some stupid reason it has become tradition for my girlfriend and I to argue about everything from when the coach drops us off to getting the tent up including - which queue to join - how far to walk - where to pitch - who should be dragging the ton of crap she demands we bring each year - which part of the tent goes up first and which way it all faces. When thats done peace breaks out for fiveish days. Then a spliff and a drink (whist looking around with familiar awe) and then a womble for some pear cider and off to the stones.

Can't wait!!!

Meeting all my lovely Efest chums at the bus on Wed and Thurs

Sleeping through most of Sunday afternoon to get my batteries up for the evening for THE SUNDAY/MONDAY UBERBIMBLE OF THE WEEKEND!!!

Fresh Lemonade

A trip to FairyLove

Getting the Delhi belly on Sunday afternoon...9 bloomin years now...a tradition I would LOVE to see the back of this year!

Missing pretty much everything I had planned to see

Quaffing Stoli, soda, lime & cranberry all day Saturday

Wondering where on earth 5 days went on Monday morning

[Arriente]

My tradition thing is to wander about with the newbies of our group trying to see it all through new eyes again. I always see things I've never seen before too.

Oh, I always seem to go & see the dragon too. Dunno why.

Say to my friends when we have got the tents up on the Weds.

" Who fancies walking all the way around the inside of the fence ! "

I have yet to get any takers in 5 years of asking !!!!!!

Um....

We generally get set up then go for a wander to be total glasto geeks and see whats different about the site this year.

I will usually eat too many magic truffles one day and sleep though some bands I really wanted to see

I will walk many more miles than strictly necessary because I can't decide what I want to watch or where I want to be!

I will take about a week to get my head back into reality after a 5 day break from the world... and any flooring that isn't grass (or mud) will seem pretty strange for a day or two!

[KingOfSnake]

Drag all our kit up the hill to Hitchin.

Find a flat(ish) pitch, not too close to the longdrops.

Sit on kit.

Crack open some cold Stella.

With a grin from ear to ear, toast each other to "have a great festival".
