Drinking too much leaves the potential for becoming one of those idiots
to the side of the Pyramid stage who find it amusing to indulge in some
sliding around. They are usually paid by photographers for these stupidities and although a cheer from the crowd or their picture in the paper
seems very motivating in the moment, I’ve never seen one of them not
regretting it half an hour later. They end up cold and wet for the entire day
and when the sun comes out, the mud solidifies, making it awfully painful
to get off. Their clothes are trashed and they will almost certainly get the
runs.
AFTER THE FESTIVAL
After 5 days of fun, it’s time to pack your things and leave no trace that
you were in Glastonbury. If you are leaving the area in heavy mud, you will
find that cars getting stuck in the mud is a common and massive problem.
However, you will notice that hundreds of abandoned wellies are scattered throughout the area. So, if you are traveling by car, grab a couple
and tie/stick them to your tires (front or back).
