Me and the missus - already putting together a list of stuff to take. We normally take our small camper but this year we've borrowed a 32 foot RV which I'm shitting it about having to drive. Oh and it's LHD.
So it's all round yours for drinkies then is it?!?! Lets face it, there will be plenty of room!

That would be the 'apres-cider bus meet' meet then?
As you say, in the sun.

Interesting. If they open a new area on the west, they'll have to issue 'side-specific' campervan tickets... or possibly they are proposing to abandon the east side fields.

Me too, and I got there early! LMHF wasnt' far behind me either, it took her longer still, around 3 hours I think.
Blimey. In my very short career I've waited at PGC for about 10 minutes twice (Thursday 2004 & 5), and then at PGA (Wednesday 2007) just strolled straight in.... both early afternoon.
edit: ah, if you mean early last year... one problem was there was a delay in gates opening generally. No idea why, but I was wandering around on site at about 9-10ish, thinking - WHERE IS EVERYONE?
I was in the queue at Gate D last year before 8am on the Wednesday. The gate didn't open until at least 8:30 due to BR style "technical difficulties" but once it did things got moving very quickly.
Not quite sure what happened last year. I was queueing at the east carpark entrance just after 7am on the Wednesday, just before 8am they started letting cars into the carpark. We then paused at the ticket inspection point just inside the field for ages, eventually a 4x4 came storming across site to get things moving again.
Got to PGB and an almighty queue had already formed. Must've taken about three hours to get in. Thankfully lots of other people must've been delayed as well, lots of decent camping spaces still available.
That was my first time ever through PGB, it's normally been PGC. Did they fill up the fields in a different order last year? Other years I've arrived maybe 8:30 or so, driven straight in, and walked straight through PGC with no queue. Also parked near to PGC.

I agree. the queue was about 15 people wide and snaked all the way back from the car park 
People couldnt get back to the festival if they left once getting in because there were so many people queueing. it really was chaotic and exhausting.
Its the only aspect of it which made me think twice about going this year to be honest so I hope it improves

Maybe I'll finally get to meet up with you this year!
And (as ever), all the wiskeys too, plus the newest generation
sounds like a plan, sir. Real ale tent, 14:00 thursday?
I'll need a reminder probably
but yer on**! **(Our shifts permitting, but we'll know ahead of the fest when we're working and not working)
