My first Glasto was 1985 which was really, really muddy. However, I was so young then (and wasted) that I cannot remember if 2007 was worse or not (weather-wise). However, I really enjoyed 2007 nontheless so I guess it really comes down to having a positive attitude and it will be great anyhow.

Look how attitude can change the way you enjoy a muddy Glasto:

There's still 3 sleeps to go... Let's see if we can break a record! ;)

So Countryfile tonight... :) 2008 was my first year and I think I could take 2008/2009 a million times over... From seeing pictures of 2007, I really don't want that...

Is 2008/9 the best we can hope for atm? Or is it looking completely dry all festival anywhere?

The weather forecast boards at the festival last year had it down as 27-29 every day. But obviously that's in the shade, and when you go a whole day without once being in the shade, it feels a lot warmer. I spoke to a guy (who had a thermometer, or had talked to a steward who did or something) who told me it had hit 41 in front of the Pyramid Stage!

I hate Thunder :( makes me hide for cover, lightening thats ok can deal with that but thunder........ I'm odd I know!

I stil have no idea what to pack, warm clothes or summer clothes? Bit of both? why can England not be like all the other normal countries and do what it's meant to? summer = sunshine not 4 seasons in one day :(

re the pics of the site looking fairly mud free - I live in glastonbury and drive past the site every day. Lets just say that the road past the main gate (the A361) is covered in mud tracked out by lorries cars etc. The amount of rain we've had here lately will not soak away that quickly so unless we get a decent dry wind with sunshine and heat it's going to be a mudbath - only difference being if not much rain for a while it'll be a "claggy" mud and if raining a soft and squelchy mud.......

Bring wellies etc and lots and lots of socks - make sure you dry your feet thoroughly and back into CLEAN DRY socks afterwards otherwise its another trench foot epidemic. Don't think to buy them around site as they'll be priced somewhat competitively and around here local shops already putting a mark up on. A poncho from army surplus works well and packs small too!

If I'm wrong and its dry you'll have spent £15 prior to arrival if its wet and you buy stuff on site you'll be looking at £25 for wellies alone.......

See you there - I'll be in a 4X4 with my wellies!

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!

    • OK, never mind, I'll take normal Nine Inch Nails.
    • Probably my least favourite of the five editions I've been to, but still plenty good enough for me to go again. Weirdly, I was just totally running out of stamina a lot earlier into the night than I remember happening in the past. I feel like I missed a lot of the weirder sets on the smaller stages as I was just totally cooked. Not Primavera's fault, obviously. Maybe I'm just getting old - or maybe I need to pace my drinking better...   Anyway - is David Byrne a realistic get for next year? Certainly hoping so.
    • watching clips of the cure in Barcelona, wow 2 hours 25 minute set. That's gonna be tough on the Sunday but can't bloody wait for it
