You're ok with the Alsatians; it's the little Spaniel feckers that'll give you hassle...

I remembered it the wrong way around.
The police have shitlaods, and customs have hardly any

Avoid the A303, we went down that way a few years ago and they had set up a road block by Stonehenge, a camera at the roundabout before stonehenge and then a roadblock further up and pulled anyone who looked suspect, searched us and sent dogs over the car, also had tents for strip searches. Fucking Wiltshire police

shut it you egg!
It's not just the cops, you should look out for the muppets doing security - i don't know if its still Specialised Security who do the gates but a bigger bunch of cunts it's not been my misfortune to meet. Lots of tales of peeps getting fucked over by this mob, esp if you turn up late at night/early morning when they bored and itching to give someone a slap. And given the fact that they want to be in control of what goes on inside, its not hard too work out why they want to prevent punters being too well stocked. IYSIM.

I've never had a problem and have never seen a dog at the train station or on site. In recent years I've only been taking hash anyway.
I'm a bit concerned this year though because I will be getting there on tuesday (working in the bars), do they search crew or not bother?

They don't *need* dogs to smell hippies.
A suitably trained police officer can stand by the side of the A303 and simply smell hippies in passing cars. He will then radio ahead to his colleagues who pull over any vehicles where the presence of hippies has been detected.

Yeah, crew can get searched too - whether you have onsite parking or in the staff car park. I've worked there for years and usually go down on Wednesday and have never had any problems though - from what I've seen you're more likely to get your car stopped leaving to check you're not still over the limit!

we'll be going down on the tuesday, camping in a little campsite near glastonbury town and getting to the site first thing for the gates to open on weds morning.
sounds like we've got a better chance of getting through without problems than if we went on the thursday..

Do you know this for definate?
This must be about my 15th Glastonbury and I've never seen sniffer dogs at the gate. The same goes for pulling every 4th or 5th car. The odd random car pulled over, but I've not seen anything as thorough as some of the posts suggest... apart from looking for glass bottles.
Saying that I do go down on Wednesday so maybe it's a bit different then. Service stations can be a dodgy, so I'd avoid stopping at any, and as has been said, leave the sticker off until you're in the queue (and when you do put the sticker up, only stick a little bit of it to your window, cos they are a bugger to remove!!!)

I still swear by the old method of stashing your coke, pills and hash down ya kaks and keeping 1/8 in your pocket, the police 'find' the 1/8 easily in your pocket, there made up, give you a ticking off which you take heed of and apologise then wander through with ya main stash

Yup! My mate Brian got pulled last time at a service station on the M5 - black dude with dreads in his van - go figure!!! He had all his weed confiscated by the fuzz, but they let him on his way with no charge. He didn't mind though as they failed to find the copious amounts of chizzle he had stashed under his seat!!!

I've driven down the last 3 Glastonburys in a minibus, full of obviously festival-bound people, and we have never been stopped on the way, or ever seen cops in the car park areas, or even ever been properly searched going in.
Cursory rummage through a few bags checking for bottles, but not a proper, everything out of all bags and inspected kind of search (i.e. one that would stand an earthly chance of finding our stuff).

Indeed.
I don't want to tempt fate but, over all of the years I've been and all of the people I knwo who have been, I can only think of 1 person who has been nicked there.. and they were quite blatantly selling acid out the back of a big truck on the bottom of pennards hill!
Obviously you're better to be over cautious and safe, but I think that a lot of the paranoia is a bit ott... I hope
