Right, this is a little bit of a departure from the usual 5th Estate, but because we wanted something a little different for this festival, we created this page. So welcome to our Glastonbury blog!Over the course of the next week (well 10 days) we'll try and give you some of the build-up and atmosphere of Glastonbury Festival all blogged by us on the ground, the mud, sweat and tears. Plus if you find our tent (which will be adorned with the livery below) we'll give you some free books. You can't say fairer than that.
On the right hand side you'll notice several feeds. One is our group Twitter feed that Mark and I will be blogging from directly. Simply put it's easy to be up and around with our mobile phones, than trying to blog directly, who knows, maybe someone from Q or the BBC will be nice and let us use their computer. We also mashed up it up with all sorts of important people too - Wateraid, Oxfam, the Beeb, The Leftfield - they're all there. If you want your Twitter feed to appear and you're at the festival - let us know!
The second feed is from Summize which will allow you to see all posts across Twitter relating to Glastonbury, which should give you a good idea of what's going on across the festival in microblogging terms.
It's my sixth time, Mark's first (heh, heh, heh) and the weather looks... GOOD! We're crossing our fingers and hoping to meet all sorts of fun, lovely people, who love festivals and also books.
Look out for the tent that looks like this...

Aggh my first time to Glastonbury too. Is your tent watertight? I hope it's not too hard to find if the place floods but I'll certainly keep an eye out.
If you see us floating away in a rainstorm, you'll know we weren't pegged in well enough. :)
