      Glasto, went once, in '86. Pre fence, we parked up at Shepton Mallet, and walked up, ummm, and er, kind of went across a field and through a wooded area, and we were there.

      When we were kids, we hired a van, 5 of us, to do do Glastonbury. The driver had just one ticket, along with our tents etc…and we jumped the fence.
      The funniest memory was….”Bod”, who was sleeping in the back of the van….( which was parked on a hill, with a ground tarp outside the back door, and it was raining) rolled over in his sleep……shot out of the back doors, still in His sleeping bag,, hit the wet tarp, and went off like a toboggan at the Olympics down the hill….he went through or partially through 4 tents before he finally came to a stop near the bottom😂

      Seems a bot unfair you make Liam get up first every morning. A bit sexist too. Why cant you alternate it? Genuine question…I know Liam prob pretends he doesn’t mind but he does really…🤷🏻‍♂️

      Great video guys, love watching you both, but the smallest city in the UK is in St Davids. I've now edited this post as it sounded negative.

      St David's has a cathedral which gives it a status as a city, maybe it could be a place you could both visit on one of your tours?

      Hi Guys

      I hate to disappoint but the car park in which you stayed is restricted, like virtually all Council owned car parks, by an Off Street Parking Places Order.

      Silver Street, along with other Mendip District Council Car Parks has this restriction:

      "No person shall without the prior written authority of the Council use any part of a Parking Place or any Vehicle left in that Parking Place for the purposes of (a) sleeping, camping or residential purposes; (b) eating or cooking purposes"

      You will probably find reference to the Order in the small print on the car park notices. Breach of this condition is likely to result in a Fixed Penalty Notice being issued.

      I’m working just outside of Glastonbury this coming weekend so just in time to avoid the party inflow! You went to some of my fave places in this vid…loved it 😁

      most of the houses in Vickers close are owned by Wells Cathedral school, and some are even used as classrooms, others for teaches accommodation

      Glastonbury is one if the most magicl places i have visited. I buy all my herbs , incense and the like frim Starchild there. Excelent quality. Im in need of a visit there. ❤

    18. hazel cameron on

      What I don't like about Glastonbury is visitors parking in front of my drive so I cannot get out also the irresponsible, latter-day hippies who think it is there right to do as they please to the detriment of the town. This is my home please respect it.

      Great vid as always. One of our favourite channels. Just one request, any chance you could even out the music volume to match the narrative volume before my remote wears out. Love you guys ❤️❤️

      Hi guys, the original van lifers affectionally known as crusties (you can guess why) used to go to the illegal stone henge festival 40yrs ago, I hitch hiked there twice! When the police finally (violently) ended it (there's a documentary about it, search stonehenge festival) Michael Eves let them camp at his fledgling festival, I think there's a place for them still at the top of hill past the stone circle. I got in twice very early days! Laterly we've paid 😊

    33. Leonine on

      Ah I know that car park as frequently stayed in a B&B there . Such a beautiful town. Did you walk the labyrinth at the church ? Am going back there next month but in my van this time so thank you for the food recommendations ❤

    36. toxic23toxic on

      Theres full time van life still in Glastonbury.
      Theres an industrial estate that has quite a few vehicles that have been on there for years.
      They seem to be left alone.
      And rightly so.

      I cycle routinely through Glastonbury for many years. It used to get packed with colourful van life, but then it started getting really bad with burnt out vans, rubbish all over etc… a few bad eggs spoiled it. Inevitable happened and within a month it was almost all gone. Loved the video.

      You make Glastonbury look like such a lovely place to visit. Even though it ranked No.7 in the Turd Towns of Somerset video 😂.
      You’re both looking and presenting great in this video, maybe it’s the yoga.
      I hadn’t realised before just how stunning Janine is, not just in appearance but in the way she talks and the way her inner contentment comes across. I see others have also commented on how radiant she is.
      Keep up the great work both of you and best of luck!

      Love Glastonbury, was last there just over a year ago!

      Shame you didn't go to Wookey Hole Resort-only 17mins in the car from there. Have you been there before-was only shown on TV the other week love that place on Antiques Roadshow 🥰

      Yea my gf went into the Goddess Temple while I just looked round some of the shops!

      When you coming back to Kent??

      Thank you for another wonderful video; you two just make me smile and feel happy. I stayed at the same campsite a few years ago when I went to see Van Morrison playing an early evening gig in the centre of Glastonbury. People had tables with ornate candlesticks and fine picnics….it was awesome. You have now given me another reason to return there. Wishing you happy, onward travels. x
