Hi all, new poster and hate to bring up the mud again.   Our family is traveling down tomorrow and slightly worried about how slippy  conditions are.  My son broke his arm a couple of weeks ago and is in a plaster cast and sling, he has to keep the cast dry and worried about him falling over in the mud.  The pictures in some of the news websites make site conditions look pretty horrendous, but obviously they want a "muddy glastonbury" story so am wondering if they are just showing the really bad bits and getting around is better than it appears.  Or am I being too optimistic   We have been to Glasto in 09 and 10 so apart from the Friday in 09 we haven't experienced really bad mud as yet.

Just had a call from daughter on site. The mud was *BAD* at the gates and around the Main Market areas yesterday. But no real problems where she is camping in Pennards. She also says that what mud there is is drying out fast. But being a typical teen she hasn't ventured far from her tent on Pennards today so this report is strictly local to that area of the site.

Ok, thanks for that, hopefully the gates will be a bit drier by tomorrow.

It has been dry, sunny & windy all afternoon in Glastonbury [town]. Experience tells me that the damage done to the Gate areas would need a heatwave to fix and we haven't had one of those. So go prepared for muddy conditions on entry.

There is alot of mud on site but it's pretty easy if you stay around the main areas. The park and shangri la are messy. Wellies or good boots are essential

Yes exactlty. Just left the site (beer run) and the entrances are definately the worst part of the site. Anyone arriving tomorrow shouldn't be put off by how bad it is outside the site as it's actually drying reasonably well in the main areas although it's still very much wellies for footware

Also take plenty of plastic bags to sit on - there aren't many dry places to sit on the ground
