All aboard the 303 bus.
We did the bar in the main town square last time. I think it's called the bad apple.. Maybe an idea?

Watched the dogs pull 4 people in the time it took me to have a fag break earlier.
Re wellies: ime it's a chalk site so it drains ok. Just don't camp in the bottom of the bowl. Wellies offer no ankle protection though and it's tough terrain.
I had a fairly crap shift but I did Personally wristband and process 300 people!

There's some epic rain last night and this morning.

What's the ground looking like? I really don't want to bring along wellies.

Oh, I'm not there but I'm not too far away (Sussex) so I guess the rain has hit the festival to pretty much the same extent. I'd like to know how the site is too, still pondering if I should get a last minute ticket.
Good news is I think this is the worst of it, some lighter rain tomorrow then dry for the rest of weekend, as someone said above it's a chalk site so hopefully it will drain.

I have a theory that even when it does rain, if people didn't clump around in big sodding wellies, the ground would be fine.
1 hint of rain and everyone puts the damn things on and mashes up the ground!

Yep, rain's pretty set in here, moderately heavy for the last hour or so, just in time for gates opening 
Don't know how churned it's likely to get, not been before, some of it must drain ok.

Sunshine and dancing!
Weather wasn't as horrific as expected although I've basically spent three days in a rainforest!
Definitely the best site for dealing rain as it just drains and it's hardly muddy.
New site layout is making things more manageable despite everything being more spread out.
Everyone seems happy

On the coach home, mucky and happy. Got drenched on Thursday and it was a bit grim, but thereafter it was dry and warm and wonderful.
It was just spectacular. All the effort and care and attention to build such intricate streets and enormous stages and tiny attractions. I loved loved loved the pole dancing robots with their very saucy wiggle, and the car filled with water and fish and driven by a robot, and Mr Whompy blasting out from his ice cream van. The Rave Yard, of course. Took me ages to get the pun despite the chapel and gravestones
I was really fucked off with the number of people (and it was only white people) in native American headresses. Offensive shit. I didn't say anything to any individuals but will complain.
I thought the compost loos were great - mostly clean, almost no smell. The site layout was great even though it was so spread out and despite that bastard hill. We were still discovering new bits we hadn't seen on Sunday night, and not because we'd not explored.
Loads of lovely shady, pretty places in different woods. Some heroically terrible reggae in the The Bad Apple. Loads of kind and funny people.
I'll post up some pics later. It was brilliant. Happy Mation
