DM if anyone is selling Sunday tickets.
Thanks in advance
-
Has no relevance but its a lovely morning in Skipton and set to be dry allday.
Hoping same for Penrith
-
Just found 3g! Had some big rain, thunder and lightening for quite a while this afternoon bit been dry since about 9pm. Ground holding up well - the previous dry weather obviously helped with ths as ground dry and soaking water up well
Yes halfpint! So not a mudbath just yet?
Why are you on site out of interest?
-
we're in north lancs near Wray not far from Cumbria border, had rain and thunder this morning, was supposed to last all day but stopped around 9:30 and not had anything else bar a few drops all day despite the forecasts saying the depths of hell were preparing to break loose. I don't mind too much if the forecasts are out but when it says at 11am that we have thunder and I'm sat in the garden in the sunshine that is just lies. I am not going to trust anyone ever again ever.
Seems that Yorkshire and Pennines got it worst.
-
Very warm and sunny now in Skipton!
Isn't weather odd
-
Some tents go up fly sheet first which is an advantage when you can keep the inside bits dry an just clip em on,if its an inside up first it can be worse in the rain ( the grim putting up of the tent at glatonbury 2011 in the lashing rain springs to mind !), on my hands and knees for half an hour with a plastic cup and 2 cloths trying to get the water out of the massive tent we took. Hopefully shouldnt be that bad tho !
Jesus Ram, way to lighten the mood mate!

It rained pretty heavy this morning and looks like we are getting more this afternoon - I am on site from about 3pm today so signal dependant will report on the conditions....looks like its going to chuck it down right about the time I'll be putting my tent up!
Halfpint you must report back! If you don't we can just presume that the site is underwater and you have been swept away?
-
Yup - we take a tarp as well, just to chuck over the pile of stuff when you put it down! - also doubles up as somethign to sit on, and an emergency tent fix kit (with gaffer tape!)
We had an idea... We have a Gazebo so thinking of whacking that up first for shelter then assembling tents under that?
Also got 2 rolls of gaffer tape just in case
-
Anyone have any tactics for putting a tent up in the rain?
I can imagine it gets wet rather quickly.
Would the advice be... just get it up as fast as possible?
-
Surely the site couldnt flood?
-
Absolutely bounced it down in Skipton since 6am, with thunder and lightning but still very humid.
-
Well caravans up in Scotland at her folks place, just on our way to jedburgh now for a few days, over to Dumfries to get the caravan then down to KC, happy days, the holiday starts here. Cider, beer an wine packed and ready ! Here's hoping it manages to make it to the festival intact !
-
Does anyone live local? Whats the current weather like?
-
If its grim weather and we work out who you are jacko id watch for any suspect aimed in your general direction ha ha
-
Im pretty sure its very rarely piss.
People usually just throw their dregs of pints into the crowd
-
Countryfile basically said the following.
- Torrential showers Mon until Weds, some localised flooding possible.
- Clearing for Thursday but will still be 20c+ with some isolated showers, also the same Friday.
-
Hmm I'm watching it,,,do you want to know or should I just keep my trap shut? lol
Its bad isnt it?
-
Got it on record! BBC Weather got storms and heavy rain all weekend
-
The summer has ended in West Yorkshire.....we had rain this morning!
Had some drizzle in Skipton but only for an hour or so!
-
The only showers they have are in the emperors field but you need to be camped in that field to use them, im sure there was the same issue last year with the shuttle bus, I think a few people ended up getting a taxi in, not too bad if split between 3 or 4 of you. Im sure a few of the locals could put a decent taxi number up in case thats your only option. If I hear anything about shuttle bus ill post it here
-
Yeah, looked at 4 different weather forecasts this morning and they're all showing rain , 3 weeks heatwave ending the day Kendal starts. Hmmmm
How very irritating, I shall take all responsibility
-
BBC makes the most depressing reading
-
Would I be right in thinking this....
From what I can see, the Calling Out Stage is now where the Dance Tent was last year. Also the Chai Wallahs has moved to where the Calling Out was. Glow Tent is where Chai Wallahs was!
-

Saturday

Tynchy Strider
Wilko Johnson
Sunday
