Can't get that Fish Vid to start!! :(

Can someone summarise it a bit more? Cheers!

Oh, and in response to Aragorn's worriedness about some more unsetled prospects for Glastonbury later on, in what he called the 'horrible' 06z run, here's what a regular over on Netweather commented around 11:46 am today .... I missed this earlier ...

it looks increasingly like Glasto is going to be sun drenched this year. I would take lots of sun cream and moisturisers if I was going. (It would be the pyramid stage on the sat and sun for me!! )

The highest temps could well be in parts of the west country with easterly winds as the high pressure settles to the north east of the UK.

Always the outside chance of the weather providing its own finale at Glasto with some pyrotechnics as low pressure approaches to the south and southwest, but this is all a long way off yet to know with any confidence at all.

There is nothing 'horrible' about the 06z at all from what I can see. Just that threat of a few thundery showers moving up from the south. Which is some people's eyes is not a bad thing at all anyway!

can't even begin to describe how excited I am right now. First glasto was baptism of rain in '07, last years not too bad and even got a taste of lounging around in the sun with good company and pear cider....obsessively watching this thread as I have the past couple of yrs, don't know how much more I can take...but for the moment....YAY!! *goes off to pack suncream!*

I like 'Paul B' on netweather.tv cos he says things like this;

'Stunning model output for next week and it really looks like summer will really set in. With the sun at its strongest, UV levels will be at their highest though, so that will be something to be very wary about.

How long it will last is open to question, but I wouldn't bet against Wimbledon fortnight being completely dry. This upcoming spell of weather should also finally put to bed people's worries of another dodgy summer.'

Bah - who needs weather forecasts - it's all about omens and portents.

And the omens just got better !

I was searching through my desk for something and came across a guardian guide - from 1999 ! The only year out the last 10 I have been to when there was absolutely no rain whatsoever all weekend (no doubt someone will contradict me on that !).

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
