Put them in front of the Morso stove overnight to soften the leather up and rubbed loads of nickwax into them this morning, left that for several hours and then put a load of silicon based polish over the top of another layer of nickwax earlier. The result is pretty much waterproof docs
I could take my goretex boots but they're brown and my waterproof gear is black
Waxed them, lined them with double plastic bags, wrapped yourself in three sheets of heavy duty polythene?
Even all that won't be enough by the look of things right now ...
Sorry to be on a downer folks, but you know my views about rain, cold and mud!

I'm fighting against being really fucking depressed about that prospect, actually

Where can you get Nikwax from? Do Army Surplus stalls sell it?

I am starting to get worried about the weather too, because I'd like teeps' and my mate who hasn't been before to see Glastonbury at its best and not its worst.
I would imagine you can pick it up at an army shop, yeah, I picked mine up at a local camping supplies. The direct spray is a bit cack I find, so I picked up the stuff that looks like cowgum. It is about £5 a shot.

Well its like this: It could be really nice but there's something going on over ireland which is going to make it rain. Lots. Hopefully a butterfly will flap its wings and we'll be basking in sunshine before long.

Current forecasts are "showers" every day.MsShirlLaverne said:Is rain on the cards then, surely not every bloody day
Forgive my weather rant, I'm on a downer ...
Every single day, on nearly all up to date current projections anyway, but we're getting dangerously close. Rain every day seems likely between Saturday coming up and the end of the Festival. The Sunday (24th) possibly excepted. By which time the mud will be in full force, too late to dry out. Minging temperatures as well. If it gets to 20C at any time I reckon I'll consider us lucky, at this stage.
Sorry folks, I wasn't going to talk about this much if at all before Monday, mainly because you all point and laugh.
But prospects of a revival of 1997/98 style rain and mud is making me REALLY fucking miserable just now, it's not quite as bad when you're actually there with friends, alcohol and drugs, and I have enough experience to deal with it, and I go well equipped. Once there I'll cheer up a fair bit no doubt.
But right now, rain and cold and mud EVERY FUCKING DAY????
FFS!!!!!
Cheer me up please folks ... like all of you, I've been anticipating this fest for the last two years ... tis the big annual holiday, with weather likely to break up just around when I leave work (day after tomorrow) and probably nice weather resume just around when I go back on the 27th.
NOT FAIR!!!!! </Kevin >

So'm I, don't get me wrong, the anticipation of mud is probably worse than the reality if past mudbaths are anything to go by.
But no mud makes it so much EASIER ....
