What advice would you give to a Glastonbury virgin?

Going to Glastonbury for the first time this year. Besides the common-sense stuff (e.g. take your wellies and the toilets aren't the best) what advice/tips would you give that an experienced Glasto-goer knows but a newbie might not consider thinking of?What advice would you give to a Glastonbury virgin?
Hi Bumpity my love,


I would get there on Wednesday as the gates open to grab the best pitch to camp. Camp on high ground, in the middle of your chosen field and tie something very recognisable to your tent so it will be easy to find when you have had too much pear cider at the Cider bus. (Yummie!)


Bring lightweight waterproof clothing and a space blanket to cover your tent from the sun if you want a snooze during the day. Bring two changes of clothes, good hiking boots intead of wellies and a decent wooly pully as it gets cold at night when you are in the stone circle waiting for the dawn.


Bring some cheques from your cheque book and some ID to prove to the bank there who you are, you never know what might happen, be prepared!


If you have to keep money and valuables in your tent, do not put it all in one spot, scatter it around the inside. The golden rule is not to bring anything that you can't afford to lose. Budget for about £25 a day to spend. There are security lockups to put your valuables for safe keeping if you just have to bring your digital Nikon SLR and laptop. (I hope you don't bring a laptop, that is very sad)


Don't piss or poo in the yellow river, the green police patrols will catch you and ritually humiliate you VERY badly! Please do not bring any glass, the deer, badgers and cows who are there for the rest of the year will not thank you for it.


If you want to score drugs, (Drugs at festies? Never heard of such a thing!) wander up to the stone circle, you can get anything you want there. It is not worth bringing them in, there are lots of police sniffer dogs at Castle Cary station as well as at the motorway service stations on the way there.

wet wipes an drugs so your on the same wave length as everyone else an keep your money safe an some aside so you can get home ok if ya lose your Friends have a nice time x
Take loadsa loo rolls , wet wipes and toothpaste , then just enjoy yourself !!
Don't pitch your tent downhill from the toilets! Take good waterproof boots.
As you've already been told, a good pair of wellies %26amp; good waterproof clothing is a must if it's going to rain; once you get wet, you soon get very cold. On the other hand, I used to help in the Medical Centre there, and one year we had people coming in with Trench Foot, and the following year it was Heatstroke! Watch the weather forecast right up until the end and IF the forecast is for sun, wear a hat %26amp; take suncream! Don't take any valuables that you don't HAVE to take, and make sure that what you do take is with you at all times, in a safe place. Be careful of the Somerset Cider - good stuff, but pretty strong - especially the 'rough' (which can give you the 'runs' too!). The rest has already been said, eg., where to pitch the tent, loo rolls and wet wipes. Have fun; it's a great atmosphere, but keep your wits about you.
Keep your boots on!!!
