Anyone know of any bargains on wellies? Don't want to break into my Glasto funds too much, and need them by Tuesday morning, so will have to buy them from a shop, instead of over the net

As a regular that isn't going this year, I confidently predict it will be ok. 2008 style I reckon, the odd shower but the ground will dry quickly before Wednesday's onslaught.

Looking on the bright side, all the fair weather glasto goers that arrived as the gates opened to watch a football match last year, will probably delay their Wednesday trip this year out of fear.

Leave the light weights to worry about what the TV tells them, we will all get in a little quicker :D

And a nice comment from a reg who is still optimistic even tho not going. And I dont mean mindless - 'it will be sunny' optimisn. A good does of realism and the truth that we were never gonna get a 2010, but we were never gonna get a 2007 either.

So all is good :rolleyes:

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points.
