That is pretty spectacular, one that I have been meaning to do for years but always been too busy. Though after seeing the hordes of visitors tbh I don't think its for me, from traffic queues pee pee queues and mass encampment and then the mass stampede to leave. I think I would lose the plot

We bought two picnic mats with us so we bagged our own territory. As it got very busy in the evening people started to step on the sides when they tried to get through. Then a kid stepped right on the middle of our mat next to where we placed our food. That was so annoying!!
Sadly, there is a crowd, but it's all part of the fun including leaving, which we did a half way through the last song, that's when I took the last image behind a lot of the crowd.
Go for the morning ascent, I think there's less people and much nicer
Now if that were me I would lose the plot!
2027 maybe then LOL, but I doubt it, they have one near me at Oswestry, went a couple of years ago, but the weather was not the right sort of weather so bugger all happened!
I've never been lucky
We did actually, and stopped the kid, then his group who was in front of us went ballistic and shouted at us and we started a slagging match 🤣🤣🤣
LOL i wish i had been party to that! You strike me as a calm controlled sweet person, the devil in disguise
