Setting off in an hour or so to Sheffield, which is the beginning of my journey to Glasto! Doubt I'll have any time to look over and obsess over the radar images and the like before the festival now. Let's just hope that high pressure swoops in as it's meant to and holds strong over us for the weekend.

On a Dustbowl (1) to Mudbath (10) rating, I honestly think we're looking at between 3 and 6, probably a safe 4 so long as nothing spectacular changes.

That's because there will be some rain before but NOTHING over the actual festival.

Remember, NFR, NFC!

Any more up to the minute pics or descriptions from site? I've got a good feeling that most of the rain is going to miss it today :-)

Stop panicking and put on your Docs (and pack your wellies if you must!). If you don't own a pair of Docs then you are clearly a weekend Festival goer and you are going to find this year at Pilton a bit of a hard slog. Bits of it won't be pretty and lots of it will be muddy. I'm kinda hoping that it will be a really challenging year that will stick in the collective memory. So come 2013 there will be a better chance for those who actually love the festival to get tickets in the absence of competition from weekenders who think it is the place to be seen.

I'm sure one of our national stereotypes is that we're obsessed about the weather … after 225 pages on the subject perhaps Jonny foreigner is right, mmmmm?

Longer the rain holds off the dryer it is going to be. It's all coming together beautifully.

And I've just wasted £20 on wellies.

[ukdaasfan]

No docs after 16 years of festing. And didn't even wear wellies in 2007. Cause I don't like them :-). Water proofed Karr's, gaiters, wicking socks and talc every night :-)
