jeffie Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I'm not going to mention the word - but this is what Metcheck says about 18 - 27 June - so why oh why is that when Big G is? 18 Jun27 JunThe third and final wave of the 'European Summer Monsoon' brings more wet and windy weather to the UK with further heavy showers.

Langdale Wolf Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Nope. You're the mental ones letting a silly thing like water and mud spoil your fun! Preparation is the key!! I don't like COLD and wet though, that's never fun. But so long as you're warm, where's the issue in being wet and muddy? (Unless, as I've said before, you have problems moving about in the mud, that must be quite hellish for some people and I feel for them very much ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 For me, the weather is just about the most important thing for my enjoyment, more important than the lineup, than where I camp, than pretty much anything else I can think of.

ampersand Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I have never ever said mud makes it a BAD festival, merely that being wet is not as good as being dry. 2007 - a great festival, I loved it. It would have been better if it had stayed dry. 2008 - a great festival, I loved it. It would have been worse if it had been wet. No rain. No compromise.

Katster Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 F**k off you odious little turd. I understand that. Like I said - you're weird. Rain is not the 'make or break' of a festival, but it's up there. Example - I saw Macca in the rain in 2004 - my favourite EVER Glasto performance. But acts aside, I look back at the times I could lie on the grass and get a nice, painful sunburn as my favourite Glastonburys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
