And 2 hours later, it was time to pack up and go. The Outwell pop-up tent was quickly packed up and handed over to one of the camp stewards. There tents I believe will be distributed by Oxfam. The weather persists in a downpour and any heavy mud was washing away downhill with muddy water rising. Much better than mud but even those with waterproofs including me were wet and cold underneath. The situation was made worse with the planned departure of buses for allocated ticket holders totally abandoned by See Tickets! This was due to buses being late or cancelled. The result were that some people who were waiting for hours were already soaking wet. Oxfam were there to sort out those who needed it with foil blankets and there was a shelter set up. After loads of mis-information from the announcer(who used the f-word with the crowd responding with oooh!) and other stewards, we actually got on a bus going our way. All I can say is that a seat on a bus to sit down to is a luxury after 5 days

Glastonbury 2007 Day 5 - it's over!
Quick note to say it's all over! Today stayed at the Pyramid Stage for Shirley Bassey, Manic Street Preachers, Kaiser Chiefs and The Who. If you saw the Who on the Glasto coverage, you will have saw an amazing gig with great music and visual effects! Finally caught last 2 minutes of Chemical Brothers set. It's 4am now having retrieved the rucksack from lockup. (Damo, thanks for the loan. You can add Glasto as one of the places of travel!). Must catch 40 winks now in tent, wake up at 5.30am to finalise packing and pack tent away in the torrential rain that started after midnight. Coach departs at 7am, yawn...final blogs on glasto when I'm back!

Short report, low on N95 Power even though there is Orange charge tent. Last night continued with Kasabian and Artic Monkeys, it was stormingly packed and kicking. likewise for Norm at Damian Rice. Another visit to Trash city for pain free circus and Apocolypse. Back to base at 4am. Up at 10am for tent brekkie and get wellies for Norm again, just as well, loads of heavy showers and deeper mud. Ok now, saw a bit of Guillemots, then Lily Allen(a bit ska and jumpy). Saw the last bit of Klaxons. finally located Brothers Pear Cider. More partying tonite and no sleep!

Glastonbury 2007 Day 3 - Sandi Thom
After Super Furry Animals at the Other Stage, long trek through thick mud to the Acoustic Tent for soothing voice of Sandi Thom. She wishes she was a punk rocker (with flowers in her hair).
Glastonbury 2007 Day 3 - more mud and the Pyramid Stage
Onto see Amy Winehouse at the Pyramid stage, after all the latest downpours, deep mud everywhere. Got to periphery of the Pyramid Stage, packed to the rim so another cider watching the bar then back to the Other Stage through bog pits. Welcome to Glastonbury 2007!
