Glastonbury fence-jumpers: 'It was girls underneath, boys over the top!'

Ruth, 2000: 'I broke in, but my punishment was camping by the 24-hour techno tent'

Once through the hole, you had to cross a no-man's-land which had security Land Rovers and security on horseback roaming around. But luckily for me the security were also in on the action. They clearly saw me crossing no-man's land in their headlights and the Brixton boys were shouting"Run, run!"... but nobody chased me.

Freeloading must run in the family, as years beforehand, my mum went to the first Glastonbury and didn't pay - but apparently she should have paid £1, which included free milk from the farm.Breaking in is notoriously hard these days. It's not like it used to be: you definitely can't rely on it. But it's a challenge.

I take after my dad because I like breaking the rules. I'm a bit of an anarchist. So me and my ex-boyfriend gave breaking in a try. We certainly didn't expect to get in, so when it worked we weren't particularly prepared. You can't see through the fence so you don't know what's on the other side til you're up there. They had got the wrong spot.
