Saturn5 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I am obsessed with the weather and will be visiting this link regularly! I can't believe how lucky we were last year.

ramragon Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Yeah 2014 was grim, we packed up and left at around 6pm sunday, we'd had enough by then. A repeat of last year would be great thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottonrob Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Here is a picture of the last time Frank Turner headlined although I have photoshopped a few extra revellers in to pad out the 'crowd' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear my can was full of water by the time we got there. The Mrs had only just arrived on site and was far from impressed as I`d told her it was starting to clear up that lunchtime Horrendous scenes that year. I think the Mondays were on a couple before Frank. If it rains like that this year, he`s getting the blame ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port-a-loo Pete Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 As much as a mud bath 2014 was, we managed to keep our tent and belongings dry and still had a cracking time. Practically lived in the Glo tent and House party though ! Others I noticed were not so lucky ! I remember 3 guys turning up late on the Friday and pitching their one skin tent in a puddle, they were gone by Saturday afternoon haha. If it is gonna pour down, lets hope it washes Frank Turner and the Manics off the stage ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooly JP Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I also had a great time in 2014 despite the weather, kept ourselves dry under heavy duty ponchos and spent a lot of time in Tim Peaks, House Party, Riot Jazz and Chai Wallahs enjoying bands i might not of normally watched. Going off the general opinion on here i may be the only person there who actually enjoyed Frank Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn5 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I've just seen videos of that year on YouTube and I'm really scared now! We need a repeat of last year! I'd even take 2015 - that wasn't so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thurlow84 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I really enjoyed myself in 2014, id convinced myself the forecasts would be wrong and we'd have decent weather, so decided to bring only shorts, t-shirts and sandals with me to wear I got it slightly wrong and did get wet an muddy but the sandals lasted really well considering and didn't break until sunday evening so I wasn't barefooted for too long whatever the weather throws at me i'm going to have a good time. hopefully it stays sunny though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a shocker, more of a survival test for us. Ive seen hail stones at a festival up here but KC 2014 was the worst I've seen. Fair play to the organisers for keeping it going. They opened a back road to let us walk in from family avoiding the rivers between there and the general camping and let us out the side way to avoid attempting the mud slide normal way out. Most of our neighbours had left by Saturday night ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I think how you reacted to 2014 depended on your circumstances, I had years at glastonbury where the rain and mud were horrendous, but being with the lads it was fine and didn't stop us enjoying ourselves loads. In contrast the 2014 kendal monsoon was a nightmare because we went as a family with a 1 year old who needs a pushchair and my wife with walking difficulties, they didn't even leave the caravan 1 day because the idea of getting around was so bad. I don't mind the odd shower, no torrential rain this year though...please ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossendaleR Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'd always wanted to do a muddy, rainy festival just for the experience. To be fair, as a one-off, I bloody loved 2014 for that. Having had it once and ticked the box, I never want to do it again. Last year was great but I'm going to be greedy this year and ask for record high temperatures* all weekend. *For Penrith, that means in excess of 14 degrees C.

gorfield Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 the weather this year will determine whether or not I actually go. Too much mud will make it too difficult for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
