From what tunes you're going to listen to, to where you might need to stop for petrol, and even where you might be able to tuck into some delicious grub - or grab some last minute supplies. There's lots to figure out, besides where you're going to camp and who you're going to see when you get there.
One of the most popular routes to get from Bristol to Worthy Farm is via the A37. Along this, you'll find a farm shop or two, petrol stations and other pitstops.
