You cant see a lot from the photos, you want to take a look at the worthyfm videos, you can see there a lot of water and mud there already.
Mud or no mud, I don't care. I will be at Glastonbury again having the time of my life. The mud won't change that. Bring it on!

Mine has always been printed that way, never been a problem at all (why should it!?)
-
Surely if the weather is that unpredictable then they shouldn't be predicting it!

Anyone else think Radiohead may turn up and play just their new album "The King of Limbs" on the Park Stage as one of the special guests. i noticed this program is airing very soon after Glasto. Wouldn't put it past Thom Yorke to pop up and do a few DJ sets too :-)

Met check now showing Friday pm:
Cloud 0%
Rain 1.7mm
Now that's magic!
-
In any normal year it would be Elbow, but this year it has to be U2. I really think we are in for something special, which will be talked about for years to come
-
Just watched Peppa Pig with the kids, and Daddy Pig was jumping up and down in muddy puddles. Must be a sign
-
Just joined the list thanks!
Has anyone considered setting up a new Facebook account, where the user posts a message on the wall showing any news
Any interested parties can then log on to Facebook, add this user to their friends and hence see any posts they have made during the festival?
Not sure how practical is it? Any views?

I camped close to the ATMs in 2005 and I am sure they were filled up quite often (when they were working!)
The queues were enormous though, I am sure it must have took a couple of hours to get your cash out during the day, so the best tine to get your cash out is 2am in the morning when the queues are gone
I always take as much cash as I can to avoid the need to go to the ATM
-
Mirrors - a bit of electronic music
Hurts - as above
Stornoway (check out Zorbing, will sound great on the pyramid)
Naked and Famous
Japanese Pop stars
U2 - these guys are going to be big
-
From memory, I think most of the 'main' bars were charged £3.50 for a pint of lager/bitter/cider
Only pay for it when the cans run out (except the traditional purchase of the Brother pear cider of course) - we stuff as many crates as we can in the car, and pop back to the car if we need to. Put 8 in the manbag and it lasts you for a few housrt!

Err... wellies.
Wear shorts and a T-shirt, underneath a raincoat (bottoms and tops and a hood)
Allow at least twice as long to get from A to B, maybe more depending on the mud
Enjoy it, the mud is just another side to the festival - it was what most people know it for - its just a different experience. As long as you have the right kit on and hence are dry, you should be able to do exactly what you were going to anyway. Dont be tempted to stay in yout tent
I really enjoyed 2005 and 2007. I still talk about, and look at the photos of those years now, I dont often look at photos, of the dry festivals!

This morning they've gone from a Monday forecast of Temps from -11 to +15, winds up to 338 mph and 16.6 mm of rain, to a Monday forecast of temps from +6 to +15, winds up to 9mph and 1.5mm of rain.

I always thought it only becomes a mudbath when it rains and then people walk on the water and grass straight after? If it rains this weekend but not after then I would have thought it would be OK, any water would have a good few inches under the surface and hence it would not be muddy under foot.
I also wouldnt worry about the mud churn created by the crew, they mainly go to the places us mere mortals aren't allowed to, and most of the paths they drive down are covered anyway
As long as we dont have a lot of rain during the festival then there will be no mud
I am not a drainage expert by the way so am probalby talking bollocks
-
Metcheck now showing sun sun sun all the way until the end of the month!! (Except a small "cleansing shower" next Monday).
-
All you need is Halvin's Clashfinder, a printer and a highligher pen. Thats it!
I find the Orange app a bit fiddly, and I cannot recall getting any live updates during the festival last year. The little book you hang round your neck has the same information in it
-
From the bangin' end of the spectrum (if you've got owt left by Sunday night).
-
Sorry to bump this again, any more recommendations anybody? I am looking for electronic music, things like Holy f**k, goldfrapp, Delphic, Gary Numan, Mirrors, that kind of thing, not really dance music
Cheers in advance, 2 weeks to go!
-
Should have Mark and Lard presenting, is Mark Radcliffe on it this year?
Shame John Peel isn't around, he was always the best Glasto presenter. Needs someome who knows good music and does spend the whole time name dropping and talking about the headliners. Bless him

Every year they seize multitudes of ladders, ropes, grappling hooks and other paraphenalia (there is a recent article mentioning this, can't recall where).
There are 2 fences, with a wide gap between, so you have to get over one, get down, cross the track, up and over the other, in a timespan shorter than it takes to get spotted by cctv, watchtower or patrol as well as having to approach the fence in full view carrying whatever you are planning to use. Almost no one gets in that way anymore (people still do, but tens, rather than tens of thousands).
They were actively ejecting people found without wristbands last year for certain, quite a few people Ive spoken to have witnessed that much.

Are you good at pole vaulting? If you can manage to somehow sneak to a good spot in the site then perhaps you could try this?
-
I can't wait until my tents is up, so for me it is when you have found the right pitch and are about to start putting you tent up open the beer happy days.
Also, going back to the car to get the rest of the kit/crates with the wheelbarrow and leaving my chums to pitch the tent up, probably the most mellow, relaxing happy time there is, knowing you have the right pitch and when you get back your tent will be up

I have no problem with people who want to sell and make no profit as long as there are genuine reasons. The problem is, as the Olympics prove, people buy them on the off chance that they may ultimately want to go, knowing they will be able to sell them at a later date if they want to. It's the "might go, might not go, but I will buy a ticket just in case" which deprive the people who desperately want to go from getting one
Glasto is the fairest ticketing system ever in my opinion, no touts. I cannot see why other festivals do not do it, other than they cannot be arsed, because there isn't really an incentive for them to do so
