Hope you all have a brilliant time and the sun's out for the whole thing.
If someone could raise a glass to William for me, I'd be glad, thank you.
We will, and Badgers and anyone else missing.

Over cast patches with sunny intervals. There’s been the occasional light shower but the ground is so dry and NOT water logged that a little light should help keep the dust down

I did that once at an urban meet-up in a club in Bristol. Met no- one. Confused a lot of strangers.

Look at the direction the thin edge of the dangling village inn sign is pointing. Follow its gaze. See me sat upon the ground like a beast of burden.

Ah good stuff. I know it doesn't take much to turn the place into a quagmire so that's good news.
1990 (I think?) was a weird year for that. Downpour on Thursday night brought loads of mud then blazing sunshine dried it all out the next day. Only time I've ever seen it happen though - usually once it's muddy it stays that way.
Hope it stays nice for you all from now on.

We’re both just over the hill 3 miles as the crow flies from the front gate
I volunteer at a local charity which over looks the entire camp site but nothing to do with the festival

So my last was 2016 my first 1997 I now recall why I stopped coming , getting in and set up is the worst day of my life , I’m physically fucked , the ex wife rocked up to meet me and my son about 7pm and I had to bring everything in and set up both tents 
next time its off site camping or nothing , I can’t do this anymore

Yeah it's quite an energetic weekend.
I remember weighing myself before and after Glastonbury once and despite drinking my bodyweight in cider for 4 days, I'd lost 3 lbs.

Merry fecking Christmas.

My first ever festival was the last Stonehenge one in 1984, so my first Glastonbury would have been 1985, in the late 90s it was getting too big for me, so I used to fence jump after the '97 super muddy year and just do a just one overnight stay, 2000 was my last - the year when part of the fence came down and the crowd basically doubled to an estimated 300k, it was very uncomfortable, an unlucky 13th Glastonbury* for me. The year after that disaster there was no festival, and in 2002 the super-fence appeared, so no more fence jumping.
*Basically I had gone every year from 1985 to 2000, but there was no festivals in '88, '91 & '96, 10 years paying for the whole weekend & 3 years of fence jumping for just one night.
Glad the weather is looking good, I'll never forget the worst ever year for mud in '97, but we still enjoyed it!
NEVER FORGET 1997!

I missed '97, '98, and '05, but other than that I've been to every one since '94 I think. Still love it. Enjoying vanning, getting too old to lug stuff a long way.

Worst mud for me was 2011 I think. So sticky. We had a kid wagon to drag as well and a pushchair. Must have been a lot fitter than I am now.<pops into thread to wish everyone there a brilliant time >
