Although not everyone's cuppa, as it is by no means the ultimate party area, we always go to Hitchin Hill and love it. Reasons:
1. It is very close (in Glasto terms) to Pedestrian Entrance A (West Car Park). A God send.
2. The views across the site are spectacular - go as far back to the fence as you can.
2. Pitch at the top of the slope and if it rains the water is running away from you.
3. It is secure - people generally cannot be bothered to go there unless they need to, so the likelihood of opportunist theft (as most is) is very low.
4. If you want some sleep, you can get some as it's fairly quiet.
5. Only a short walk to the Pyramid area, and we also enjoy the long walk back from the 'party' end of the site in the wee small hours. You see all sorts!
6. It will not get muddy around the camp regardless of the weather as the ground around the tents is barely trodden on (other than you and your immediate group).
7. There is a far more relaxed attitude to having a big, spacious camp as it is not a first choice for many. It does not get ridiculously busy and you will not wake up to find a tent has been erected virtually on top of your own.
Have a blast!
