More of that Wednesday onwards please!
On a bus leaving Liverpool at 9. What's the queue time likely to be? Any recommendations on what to check out on the first couple of nights?
If the bus takes 5-6 hours from Liverpool to Glastonbury you will arrive mid afternoon which is probably not a bad option, the biggest queues are often first thing in the morning and after people have finished work in the evening. Having said that we are not really sure what the impact of the additional security checks will be - getting from Glastonbury to Pilton can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours when the festival opens!
For Weds/Thurs there is quite a lot on these days, most people head to the South East Quarter (lots of bars and smaller stages) or Silver Hayes (Wow, Blues, Pussy Parlure). There are lots of other venues though like the Stonebridge Bar in the Park or the Bread and Roses pub. For the Pyramid crowd the Beat Hotel is nearby. Stalls like the Brothers Cider Bar in West Holts also attract a decent crowd because they have a loud sound system.
It all depends what you fancy really, personally I think Weds/Thurs are perfect for exploring the site as a whole because you will always find something cool and the extra familiarity will stand you in good stead when you are desparately trying to get across the site in time for Kris Kristofferson, or just trying to find yer tent when you've spent the last 16 hours on the ale.
