Boomtown 2012

I definitely have to drive as I have to drive back and sign on in the afternoon of the Monday, so anyone still need picking up from about Enfield to the M3 on the M25 let me know as I could definitely do with the diesel. It's a car lift and will be in the car park so don't expect to leave anything there.I'll be leaving out to come back *early* on the Monday (like before 10am)
 
I'm not really in the urb circuit but this may be a good opportunity to say Hi to a few people IRL, will keep an eye out for any u75 type signs!

People who were there last year, any sniffer dogs on the way in?
 
Friday, 4pm, outside the biggest bar in the Arcadia arena is the u75 meet

Otherwise, keep an eye out for a glowing eagle (possibly accompanied by lion, t-rex, wolf and elephant), cos that'll be me.

never met anyone off here IRL either, but it should be entertaining
 
The BBC's monthly outlook (emphasis mine):

Monday 23 July—Sunday 29 July
Cautious optimism for some

Changeable conditions will continue into the following week. However, there are now signs that the unsettled weather will become more focussed towards northern and western parts of the United Kingdom. This will result in drier, more settled conditions in the south with some brighter, warmer weather.

Monday 30 July—Sunday 12 August
Changeable in north but drier, brighter in south

The weather will remain changeable, especially over more northern parts of the UK. There will be drier, brighter and warmer weather further south but some rain is expected at times.

So overall, conditions are expected to be better than we have seen so far this summer.​
Given that the monthly outlook was previously non-stop doom and gloom, it's a good sign :)

That isn't really saying much...

I had looked yesterday but couldn't find anything for that far ahead. I think as usual I'll pack both my waterproofs and suncream and hope for the best
 
It's about as much as anyone can say about the weather 3 weeks in the future tbf!

Luckily, the site has flinty soil with good drainage, so there shouldn't be a bog if it does rain.

It's sold out I'm afraid!
There will be resale of 300 tickets at midday on Friday 20th, but you'll have to be lucky to get one.

Yep. Seen a multi-hour drenching there before and it all magically disappeared. Like I've never seen on any other site. Worst it got was about one inch deep of liquid. Amazing for a bowl - I'd expect it to be awful.
 
Is anyone taking a camper this year? I need to get some gin on site and am coming by car. I'm allergic to all the drinks they allow on site. :(

So'm I! :(

The forecast ?

Festival-weather sources-checker states, from this evening''s latest technical outlooks (various) :

Getting better/summerier in the S, even beyond the shortterm, but gradual improvements so far. Baby steps. Watch that space.

And remember that your forecast-value can go down as well as up. But I'm punting on up, myself.
