3000's a crowd
If a swelling crowd develops, avoid adding to it. Getting caught in crush can be pretty scary. Instead take a moment to sit down, relax, and listen for announcements offering alternative routes away from a potential build-up of people. Glastonbury is an unhurried experience, unlike most of life. Be patient.
Getting around
- The site is a massive 900 acres. Not counting the endless distractions or baggage, it takes at least an hour to walk from end to end of the site. And that's in daylight, sober.
- Disorientation easily sets in - not only in children. The surroundings change dramatically after sunset, when more tents arrive and crowds gather.
- Arranging to meet friends at the Mixing Tower may seem like a good idea - until you try it during a headline band after dark. Try the Meeting Point or a quieter landmark and remember that 'time' becomes a vague concept at the festival. Be prepared to wait.
