We’ve always wondered what it must be like to pitch your tent right at the top of one of the steep hills looking down on the festival site. So we drew lots and GlastoBlogger Heather was despatched to make the trek up to find out …
The most popular campsites fill up fast – people in the know have made a beeline for the camping around the Pyramid stage and fields like the Dance Field, Park Home Ground and Lower Mead are already full.
We set up a camera at 9am on one of the security scaffold towers at Park Home Ground looking towards the Park Stage and fetched it down at noon – so you can see how the landgrab unfolds minute by minute.
As new arrivals struggle for somewhere to pitch their tents, they shout up to the security guys at the top of the towers asking if they can spot a gap and direct them there. After the prime spots have gone the only spaces left will be next to the toilets!
