I just drove past, site is looking nice!

I'm very tempted to go for Sat/Sun to avoid all the rain.  But will pop along Friday in any case (if it's pissing it down, might retreat and return Sat morning!!)

nah man, i would go & experience it before it get's sludgy (if it does)!

i've done homelands & global a few times each, a certain amount of surface sludge from people stomping / churning it up would not be my main concern - i'd wish for people to not throw their rubbish all over the place. my homelnds experience were a fcuking disgrace, the amount of litter people left . i think glade goers are better than that though.

if we're still comparing to glade 07, then the thing that got me was the shin-high RIVER of water on friday morning ruining all my kit. this was on the top of the hill. very much doubt this will happen again, even with 'some' rain.

Right, will be packing the Goretex and will be onsite tomorrow PM!

It's amazing, that even when consciously trying to pack light, my rucksack gets chocka and weighs a tonne!

Use my technique.

Carefully lay out everything you need to take, but don't put it in until the last moment. That way, I can carry on convincing myself "it's not alot really", right until I squash it all in and go "OMG".

Good plan!
