We had the most amazing time at Glastonbury Festival!! It has taken me pretty much the entire week to recover though! We took our trusty campervan with us and it was great and we got a fab spot.
The first thing that I knew was going to surprise me was the size – it is soooo big! I don’t think anybody imagines before going the scale of it. Shops, food outlets, bars and of course the stages – which are a fair distance apart!!
We got to see most acts we wanted, some we hadn’t planned on and a couple by default that we’d never heard of. Best act for me had to be Metallica with Ed Sheeran as a close second – but everyone we saw were awesome.
There was a lot of walking!! I reckon we were close on 100 miles in 4 days – I only wish I’d worn a pedometer to tell you how much exactly! But I guess all the walking cancels out the food and alcohol you consume whilst being there!
My fave stage has to be the pyramid stage and I loved the glade and the random dance tents. We did visit Shangri-La and Arcadia but not till the Sunday, so there definitely places I want to visit again on a busier night. I also want to actually make it to the healing/craft fields and the Park stage next time. Apart from those places I think we made it everywhere else!
We witnessed a scary thunderstorm on the Friday whilst watching Rudimental which bought the rain and then the famous mud! I’m so glad I packed my wellies as I pretty much lived in them the whole weekend! I’m still shocked that I didn’t fall over in it!
Bring on the ticket sale for next year – and everyone who’s thinking of going, it was horrible muddy and cold – you wouldn’t like it! (Don’t steal all the tickets!) hehe
