Bloody hell, good luck with that!

 

[strung out]

i get a bunch of meal tickets for the work i'm doing too, so fingers crossed, i'll never have a need to actually buy anything!

 

[Riklet]

No one driving from Bath sorta area on tuesdayy..? Any decent lift sharing sites I should be checkin?

[Strawman]

Ugh, I dont think Ive got another mud glasto in me tbh, cmon sun!

well ive checked the weather on 3 or 4 sites and i dont think its that bad at the moment

http://uk.weather.com/weather/10day...k&cm_cat=citypage&cm_ite=weather&cm_pla=10day
thats the best forecast ive seen

http://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/BA4_4BY
http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/7days.asp?zipcode=ba4 4by
http://www.yourweather.co.uk/weather_Shepton+Mallet-Europe-United+Kingdom-Somerset--1-34846.html
those three all show rain every day but no more than a quarter of an inch on any one day

i think worst case scenario is a heavy thunderstorm over night (was it 2007 that happened?) and lots of surface water to be churned into the ground. but if the rain is very light and sporadic theres more time for it to soak through into the ground, run off or get evaporated again.

http://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/BA4_4BY for example shows rain tues, weds, thurs but no more than 1mm in any 3 hour period

im actually feeling slightly optimistic now that what rain we will get wont be that bad...

2005 was the year of the epic thursday night/friday morning thunderstorm

yeah thats right. i was young and naive and didnt take any wellies with me and no one on site had any size 12s so i had to go without. my feet near enough rotted off

That was mental wasn't it? We had to cut holes in our tent to let the water out.

I miss Glastonbury loads but I also really don't miss the ticket hassle and rain obsession.

 

[strung out]

i was camped at the bottom of pennards and hadn't brought any wellies...

We were in the Dragons Field camping area. Right next to the river/stream thing but luckily it was a bit of a slope. Maddest rain I have had at a festival that.

 

[mysterygirl]

found the map I was looking for. Glasto Earth....
I knew I'd seen a good map somewhere. Still, the fact I finally noticed it hopefully means Im on the mend?

The power of Glastonbury.

N East London is now devoid of blow up beds

 

[strung out]

just printed and laminated all my stage line-ups. got an interview at 9.00am tomorrow, then heading off straight after that! (without my shirt and tie)

 

[pennimania]

I have nearly packed and put it all in the car.


I have dubbined my and mr mania's boots.

I have also drunk a lot of the beer that was meant to be for our tent

this is not right.



Anyway - Cider Bus - is it about 6/7ish wednesday & thursday? shall i bring my big green Lovecats flag? then you can all avoid me

 

[strung out]

i leave tomorrow straight after my 9am interview and i still haven't started packing yet...

 

[Sunray]

After watching the Glastonbury film on Saturday night. Ive been thinking about coming down to scale the fence.

What happens if you're caught on the other side? They just kick you out right. But do the security nick your stuff?

[rover07]

Are you working on fence security there? How many come over the fence still and what percentage are caught do you think?

 

[ouchmonkey]

so how deep is the mud gonna get - do I need to go buy waders or will regular size do it?

I was at 2005 and 2007 and expecting it to be better than them, more on a par with a washed out summer fete

am i deluding myself?
