In 12 Readings, I have needed wellies once (04)

May well be different oop north mind

I'm going to asses it closer to the time. If its forecast rain, take wellies. If the weather looks OK then i wont bother and can always buy some when i get there if needed.

Hoping for a dry one this year, just remembered that in my infinite wisdom i lobbed my wellies in the garage after last year's festival, eurgh they must be a bit crusty by now!

Will Leeds/Reading be prepared for rain?!

To the best of my knowledge, the amps aren't solar powered, and most of the punters aren't allergic to water.

the mud was f**king awful at leeds last year. they had a few metal pathways on the way into the arena but that was it. they needed more of them. all of my stuff was caked in mud within a few hours. i still had a great weekend but i hope the weather's better this year.

We're paying nearly £200 for a ticket, surely they can make it a little bit easier for people to move around the campsite if it gets muddy again.

Hmmm, the weather has been fab at Reading the last two years in a row, I am hoping it stays like that this year!!x

You weren't at Leeds last year!

There's been a little bit of rain and mud (07 had some for the first couple days, but it dried up) over the last couple years, but it's been fine usually. Just ignore it, I survived Glasto, this'll be a piece of cake.

Though Glasto mud is nicer than Reading mud.

[scottt]

Im guessing Reading was better than Leeds then last year?

You're paying £200 for entry into a FIELD. Fields get muddy. People are unprepared.

This is coming from someone who went to V fest Staffs last year, even I thought the mud at Leeds was bad.  It was only bad on the Friday mind, it seemed to have dried up a bit by the end of the fest.

At least the arena was dry, V Fest was a mud bath at the main stage last year.
