A few innocent staff made it down to the world's biggest mudpile last weekend.
Most of them are still stuck there, but we have one eyewitness account, from The Man Who Made It Back:
“The mud didn’t get me down. I escaped it via the power of music. Special highlights included the secret Radiohead show in the rain, Caribou’s energetic display (which reminded me of some dentists in a disco), and most psychedelic of all, Tame Impala, who wore no shoes and took me back to 1969, even though I wasn’t alive then. Time travel – that’s a real skill, let me tell you.”
Were you there? Have you made it back? Will there always be a part of you in a muddy trench, somewhere in between the Pyramid Stage and that falafel rave van?
Did you experience some musical magic that knocks the damp socks off our MWMIB*?
Tell us your favourite moments right here and the best one wins a case of welly free smoothies.

I was not at the festival this weekend I was at CyberMummy11 which i am sure was just as hardcore, but with less mud! 450 opinionated and determined woman in one room...you can imagine how much energy was required! So my weekend was not as muddy but just as messy...in a good way!

I went to Glastonbury :) My favourite part was the free facepainting - i had my eyelids painted with big staring eyes, so when i closed my eyes i was still staring at people. They looked very realistic, alot of people pointed and laughed at me, some even wanted photos with me!!!

My favourite Glastonbury moment this year, remembering I was a Womble in a scorcing hot Avalon field wearing my Womble mask and totally forgeting I'm 34 and should know better!!

My old wellies are in that photo! On the left, multi-coloured (photo of hundereds and thousands sweets) with blue trim, actually ladies wellies but I think looked the best! I had to unfortunately let them go after years of use as they started to leak :( anyway... one of my most favourite bits of the festival was in the circus seeing a man in a suit blow up a huge green balloon with a "magic" hoover, he took off his suit, oiled himself up, and bit-by-bit climbed into the balloon. At one point he just had the lower half of one leg sticking out. It was like watching an enormous green pea hop round the stage!
p.s. I love glastonbury!

My brother went to glastonbury and said that it looked like a toilet after so many people used the whole site like one.
ps he has since come down with a bug which made him go to hospital with severe stomach complaint and dehydration. He really could use some smoothies after that.

My favourite moments of Glasto 2011? Glittery theatrical make up courtesy of Boo-Doir, face-planting into the mud in the Dance Field and meeting my hero, Jethro on the way down (Also my friend's highlight of the whole week (His first Glasto!)), and finding City and Colour on the Avalon Stage whilst everyone else was shaking their booty to Beyonce or rocking out with Queens of the Stoneage! :)
