The outlook looks too good to be true! A little rain to settle the dust the day before everyone arrives and then 5 days of mid-20's. Beautiful!

@briddj thanks for all the work. And everyone else involved in this thread, it's been thoroughly enjoyable over the last few weeks.

It's taken me 3 hours to lay my socks out. Help. I'm not cut out for this.
Can I just be there now already, tent up and beer in hand?

I think Oxylers is one of those areas that suffered flooding because the farm wasn't coping with it adequately at the time. Now it is, so the only areas at risk are lower lying parts of the farm like the bottom of Pennards, because all the equipment in the world can't reverse gravity.

Well in that case PRSBoy you are going to have (excuse the pun) an absolute field day!
With somewhere in the region of 400k feet squeezing moisture out of the ground each day the site can go from quagmire to a hard clay like surface in no time at all, if the rain subsides for a few hours.
Ive had some great times in the rain, one year we had a right downpour by the cider bus on a Thurs night, I sheltered under a bush and was quickly joined by an amorous middle aged couple from Bolton making all sorts of naughty suggestions lol.
Enjoy it bud, if you have a pulse you will love the place, rain or shine

Never seen Oxlyers flood. Even in 2005 it was pretty good, other than immediately next to the walkways. Never camped anywhere else.

Maybe the sniffer dog is smashed .............just having a chill

It isn't forecast to rain heavy for days is it chaps? Just had a look at Metcheck and it looks like a bit overnight Thursday into Friday and not a lot else....

The rain in 2011 didn't affect us much in Oxlyers. We coped rather well!

My poxy iphone weather app says rain fri/sat/sun - knew I should have bought a Samsung!

Followed. Appreciate it! Try not to tweet too much please!

Anywhere fella only one area has ever flooded enough to ruin tents and that was a once in a thousand year freak event and it's not even public camping anymore
Camp anywhere, but avoid directly downhill from water points/urinals and don't face your door uphill

you said it...anywhere thats not at the bottom of a hill......dont think the actual `site` really matters.

With rain expected, I was wondering where a decent place to camp would be (obviously not at the bottom of a hill!).
I was hoping to go Oxlyers.

I'm aiming to get there 45 minutes before - however my travel to the coach park is around 40 minutes so going to take into account any unexpected road works (it's going to be 3.30am so shouldn't be too much traffic around london on a thursday).
