It did at times. There were streams running through park and pennards for a short time (I think on Saturday morning?) It made my morning pee a lot more challenging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedgeAntilles Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 It definitely chucked it down for an hour or so on Thursday last year. We hid over the bar opposite WM while the power Ballad thing was on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hid over the bar opposite WM while the power Ballad thing was on I felt horrendous at that point. The Wednesday "Definitely taking it easy" hangover was in full swing, and that power ballads bullshit was killing me. I seem to remember after that downpour the sun came back out for the rest of the night though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 There was a hefty amount of rain on one day at most of the years I've attended, it's only really been an issue when the ground was chewed up right at the start. If we can all get in easy we are winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
