I've got quite a lot of good photos (prints) of the Travellers Field at Glastos 1999 and 2000 (vehicle porn :p ) plus a fair few other Glasto photos from those years, mostly around the site ... I intend to scan those when I have access to the equipment to do it .... plus when I've worked out how to use it ... plus where to store them ...

OK after the suimmer then ...

I definately want to see them when you get round to it, I was there for the one in '99 on the travellers field with one of the sound systems before we headed off to do the teknivals around europe, that was one of the best summers ever for me.
 
I get a blank screen, sadly .... :(

These photos we're all talking about, and I'm sure there are others that people have got, sound well worth getting organised to get them on line, at some stage ...

In Bloom : good luck with your beer tent job quest. It'll be hard work (thirsty monged fuckers!) but no doubt you'll get plenty of time off as well :D

You'll need Quicktime to play it. And if you're on dial up it could take quite a while to load but well worth it. Give it another go. :cool:
 
To fork the thread:

Pages and pages ago, there was talk of an email list for sorting out eg. liftshares, camping arrangements, other things that might be best kept off the boards... - I can't face sifting through 30 pages to see if anything came of this. If there is such a thing, a PM would be very much appreciated :)

I think bees is doing an email list (or he has done in previous years).

PM him details I think - and it gets sorted out nearer the time.

I'm confused a bit about how I'm getting down there. It hasn't crossed my mind yet.

I'm also somewhat stuffed on the photo ID side - I think I'm going ot be forced down the road of those 'citizen cards' but I really don't want one.

(no drivers license, no valid passport and I wouldn't take it down to glasto anyway)
 
Only 2 months to go!

I will probably have some space for those not too proud to go in a Landrover :p


will be leaving Hackney on the Wednesday morning.
 
OK, email list details.

Send an email, with the subject "glasto list" to:

glastonbury.urbanites at virgin.net

but making the obvious change to "at" (just done that to stop bloody spambots)

Please include in the body of the message your boardname, and, if you want others to know it for meetup purposes, your mobile number.

:)
 
:D

Erm, if you're serious with that offer, you could well have a couple of Brixtonians begging in your direction.

That said, after this year's ticket sagas, we're not entirely sure when we'll be leaving. And besides we travelled last year in a Land Rover - we even did our good samaritan deed and helped pull an old Austin out of the mud oin the way out.

Fingers crossed for sun this year...

I'm not too far from Hackney and I'd travel by milkfloat. Or Landrover.

But it depends when you'd be going as tarranu has said really.

I'd be one of those scum bag students without a job who would try and get there for as early as humanly possible or something.

I can't stress enough the importance of getting there early - the area camp urbanite will be in is usually full by late wed afternoon.

Arrive wednesday morning - book the time off now if you can!
 
Our bosses know very well already, and in my case I haven't even booked the leave yet (our leave year doesn't start, eccentricly, til May 1).

We'll be in early -- we'll be camping at the site just outside Glastonbury Town for Monday and Tuesday nights, and we just might be able to cadge an early lift onto site in some van or other ;) :D
 
As a non-driver I have to rely on the first coach from London to Glasto, which usually gets me there early afternoon. Anyone know any way it's possible to get there earlier on public transport? There is the trains, but from what I can remember from others talk the station is a fair hike from the site, and God knows it's a fair hike from the entrance of the site to the urban camp as it is :mad: :p

;)
 
Cam, I'd go on the trains with yourself - I'm not too bad at hiking silly distances - or taking painfully early trains...I really have no idea about transport yet...can someone informed be really cool and fill me in?
 
I went last year by train. IIRC the trains run from Paddington to Castle Cary. You might be charged something silly for train tickets if you travel early, check in advance. From Castle Cary, you get a coach to a drop-off point. I think it's about a 20 minutes walk from the drop-off to the campsite.

Getting the coach back to the train station is a different matter. The coach is from just outside the festival site direct to the train station.

The coach from the train station to the festival site is free. IIRC the train from Paddington to Castle Cary was somewhere between £15 to £25.

How are you at hiking silly distances with a silly urbanite on your back? (this would almost be a silly question were it not that it concerns an urbanite, God knows someone must have done it somewhere)

I'm fine with the early trains, it really is the bastard long walk I'm not looking forward to. I have all the upper body strength of a lampshade and with a backpack on my back (I'm a traditionalist) I have the walking ability of a drunk 2-year old :( :oops:

Mebbe if I can find one of those motorised cars that kids have.... get a trailer on the back and I'm laughing at 5mph all the way to Glasto :cool:

Oooh, this is news.... might be worth looking into after all.... :)
 
I'm shite at walking long distances, and even more shite at walking long distances a huge bag strapped to my back. I managed the walk, but it was a lot of hassle. I haven't got a clue why the coaches to the festival dropped us off so far away, when the coaches out of the festival picked us directly from the site.

I'm most likely going to be getting the train as well, but I don't know exactly where I'll be camping yet and I've no idea what time I'll be getting a train.
 
glasto jobs?

alreet, not sure if this a pointless search, but a couple of my mates didnt manage to get any tickets this year, and was wondering if there was any chance they could get a job at glasto, or get to help with any of the charities and get access to glasto...Does anyone know of any links for this, or any of the charities involved, Ive heard youll need to pay the price of a ticket as a deposit which they're obviously willing to do. Not sure if all the jobs would be gone by now but i thought id give it a go, cheers for any help.
...theyre not issuing any more tickets are they?im guessing thats just being too hopeful....well, at least i got my tickets :p
 
I am serious!

but you have to come to me!

I am a bumpkin and don't like driving across 'town' so I always go on the A106 to the M25, very quick from lower Clapton.

Also i will go in on the 'Blue' route which may not suit some .
Should have 2 or 3 places depends on how many of my actual family travel with me on Wednesday am. Mr mania will follow later, son undecided.

You said that last year :p


I hope to be there at 10am as the gates open - last year me and aqua set off from brum around 6:30am to avoid the rush hour traffic on the M5, we were there by 9:30 and that included a stop for breakfast :)
