do you mind sharing where from and how much? Quotes I got made it far too expensive for us but really would love a camper van as we're getting to that age now where the less time we have to spend on an airbed, the better!
Well my mister has sorted it all, he actually booked it back in February and got quite a good deal on it by all accounts, though I dont know if that had anything to do with the timing of the booking. All I know is he found it on the net and its from a place in Manc. I will try and find out some details and if am successful (coz getting any general info out of him can sometimes be likened to getting blood out of a stone!) then I will certainly post up the details for you.

Changing the facts

Thank you - I'm in Liverpool, so Mancland would be feasible.
Nope, forecast is for a scorching June (putting the Med in the shade apparently) and for a wet July/August.
If it's true, WOO!

That's even more consistant rain than last year.

did I at any point say it would be accurate?Unlikely to be very accurate at 3 weeks away though.
(I am bored at work and have been investigating this morning)
I said this is what they are currently sayingalso with reference to the mm's of rain, thats over a 12 hour period - not each hour's worth
so it looks worse than it is2mm over 12 hours is fuck all

yeah, it's all dark. that's like stormy death from the skies or something. big wet rocks being dropped on us by a cruel god.

I swear if it's like last year again that's it, me and Glastonbury are finished. I will have a fucking week in Shagaluf for half the price. It will be shite but at least it will be fucking dry.
Me too.
I thought I had had enough but decided to give it another chance when I found I could palm the kids off on my mother. They certainly can't take another like last year - no, not even tho my daughter is in love with the lead singer of the Foals
So shall be wild and free this year

Re starch tent pegs, I believe they will be given out at info points free of charge, and will be sold at millets stalls for megabucks. Workers can pick up most of what is given out in the bags at info points, and only the full programme costs money.
I too got my infoworker confirmation today - never quite replaces the feeling of fancy ticket in my grubby hands!

every year we have a game trying to blag a programme from here, a guide from there and so on. Usually succeed, but it's not always certain (some Oxfam stewards take life way, way too seriously
especially given that every year there are literally hundreds of programmes left on the pallets by the gates anyway
Sunray
Its sunny somewhere.
I just bought a 4 season trek Berghaus jacket just in case...
I'm hopeful. Its been quite nice recently.

It's the weather in the run up to the event that's the key - if the ground is already saturated it'll be a mudbath, if it's been reasonably dry then a bit of rain won't be a problem
