I got some of these from decathlon just before a week volunteering at worthy pastures and they didn’t even need breaking in, super comfy. They were a bargain too. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/women-s-waterproof-mountain-walking-boots-mh100-mid-turquoise/_/R-p-133726

This is my tried and tested plan and great for packing light. Several pairs of denim shorts, various t shirt options including some sequinned ones, couple of hoodies and leggings for nights. Have taken trainers in the past but I stick with walking boots now as I have a really comfy pair.

Sounds like some other models are starting to agree with GFS for some kind of breakdown of the settled weather next weekend into glasto week.. but it’s very much on a knife edge and some people on NetWeather think it might not actually materialise, could just be hot and dry the whole time.. I’m pinning my hopes on that scenario 😂 It’s still too early too tell with any certainty..

The GFS model doesn’t deal with the current kind of set up as well as other models and the other models aren’t in agreement with it apparently so it’s an outlier.

We saw him at Camp Bestival last year after not seeing him since the early 2000s at Glastonbury and it was lots of fun. Definitely worth a go.

The general chat from the weather experts on the NetWeather forum this morning seems to be that we’re likely to continue with this high pressure, dry kind of pattern for the foreseeable..

Really? I thought there would be more than that. I’m totally out of the loop with which DJs play what these days (and probably never had a very strong idea about what subgenre I was dancing to back in the day) but I was expecting there to be more house! I think I’m looking for tech house / deep house / electro type stuff.. any suggestions?

I’m still hopeful.. I’m not sure I can see them touring into next year. Surely they’ll be on the farm this year somewhere.

I’ve mostly just washed my hair with a bottle of (usually cold) water in the mornings, as long as my head feels clean I can deal with the lack of a proper shower. But we’re taking a collapsable bowl this year to do more of a proper wash. If I can be bothered I might head to Greenpeace showers one day.

Yep, on the run up from west holts to the green fields, on the left. They were amazing!

That’s a great idea! I normally fill a big water bottle and wash my hair with that.. but a watering can rose would make it much better.

I think I had my best year for food last year.. really hoping the arancini stall will be back and I know Mexican Seoul is going to be there (and probably Bayou and the waffle place I ate brekkie at every day). Hungry just thinking about it!

Hurray! Let’s hope it stays nice and dry ☀️

I didn’t get there til 4ish on Tuesday when I got a last min place in 2019.. guess it depends where you’re coming from. I think there’s a briefing around 6ish you have to be there for..

Hoping to make it in there more than once over the weekend as it’s my favourite venue. Going to have to do some research and see who’s playing and get there super early..

I was hoping for Muna, BoyGenius, BabyQueen and Daughter.. also surprised Suede aren’t there..

Congrats to people getting places today! Nice that there’s been a little flurry of them..

About 25 bands I want to see and a handful of must sees. It’s a pretty standard year based on my music tastes. Trying not to compare it to 2022 which was my dream line up. It will definitely give me more scope to get into the Downlow and try the temple and see more random stuff which was missing from last year when I was too busy with a tight schedule of must sees. So overall I’m happy, it ticks all the boxes and leaves me plenty of scope for discovering random awesomeness.

I could imagine it being either, there’s links both ways with the discovery of Churn as a previous Dave Grohl band.. maybe we won’t know til they’re about to walk on stage 😂

I’m quite undecided and might switch mid set any of the nights.. AM (maybe with a bit of Hotchip) Christine or Fatboy Phoenix and maybe a bit of Elton

I get it occasionally on chrome on my iPhone, if I switch to a PC I can always get in so it’s not my account it’s device or browser specific.

I upped my running to 3 times a week as I wasn’t getting anywhere with just one run and a couple of cycles.. seems to have made the difference, going to try and maintain that for the next few weeks.

I have a few of the alleyways.. I’m sure I had more and some videos but they seem to be missing atm..

I haven’t checked but just be aware not all CAZ are registered with all sat nav / routing apps .. some councils haven’t yet added their CAZ to google maps for example .. definitely worth checking the specific council website for confirmation of the exact boundary just incase.

The microvenues were amazing, randomness round every corner and some really immersive experiences.. maybe if they split the crowd more successfully this year there’ll be a move back to more stuff like that.. I loved the Swapshop thing last year in Shangri la.. not in a microvenue but very much along the same lines.. hilarious.
