Glastonbury 2007 pt1: the build-up

[Sunray]

I would like to be able to sit down on the floor at times.

So no rain please.

 

[moose]

Could we at least have a little biting wind, or a bit of fog, please?

 

[William of Walworth]

Only at the NORTH of the site, grim type!

Most of the point!!

You can shelter from the hot sun, but you can't sit in the mud

Well eight stellas and I sure as fuck can/ have.



Actually I was thinking of Knockegorrough, visions of the far bit of the other stage spring to mind.......

Knockengorroch

Were you in Scotland for this most recent one, then? (Fortnight ago).

It rained a fair bit, except on the Sunday.

oh gods, that reminds me of watching toots and the maytals one year in the pissing rain, with me waterproofs on, and suddenly realising i was too pissed to stand up, so i sat down in the mud. i was absolutely covered in it

You can't shelter from the sun though, the site has fuck all cover. As for sitting in mud - just use a plastic bag, sorted

I took a shower curtain last time. It was thicker than a plastic bag but folded up really small.

It was lime green with Hello Kitty all over it so I don't think the others were too impressed.

 

[aqua]

but once it was muddy wasn't it an arse? thats the problem I had the year I used a cheap poncho to sit on, I ended up binning it the same day

Horrible.
Because our bums were cold too me and madamv ended up with inflatable chairs which were great but a pain to carry around.

*has gone off the idea again*

You just don't know the site well enough

But there won't be mud, how will you mud lovers cope?

yes william we do, I cannot deal with hot sunshine, I don't know if you've noticed but I burn very quickly, even through sunblock re-applied every 30mins

 

[Sunray]

Buy a golfing umbrella off ebay. Then you have your very own shade.

 

[aqua]

and then get beaten up when stood watching a band


(although I am thinking of a brolly this year tbh)

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

My personal preference would be cool and overcast all weekend - no sunburn, no mud, everyones a winner.

cool and overcast in the west country with short sunny intervals, with regular showers in London and Birmingham, particularly on the tomatoes.

 

[aqua]

perfect stig, perfect!

 

[Superape]

Simpsons skies - thats what we need

 

[DrRingDing]

Didn't we have a bust up over weather preferences at Glasto last year?

Anyhoo can someone tell me what "The Park" is on Pennards Hill?

...and what is the difference between the Tipi Field and the Tipi Village?

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

It is where I would usually camp, but will now feature Jamie T playing a piano.

 

[Crispy]

The Park is apparently a late night entertainment area, with lots of stalls, bars and tiny stages. abit like the stalls area of lost vagueness. apparently there will be several pianos dotted around.

Tipi field is being repurposed for 'games' or something. all a bit vague.

Tipi Village is outside the fence and is where you stay if you're staying in a tipi for whatever the stupid price is.

Also useful for torrential rain and quagmire navigation..
