Met office now forecasting an out-and-out sunfest for Thursday:

But showers on Saturday.

[haznutuk]

Currently dry and very windy here in Glastonbury [town]. But I scent a shower or two coming soon.

This talk of wether to bring wellies/waterproofs confuses me. Why would you ever not?

[eoinca]

Anyone who is able bodied and is scared of a bit of mud and rain really should not be going to a festival, Im wondering if it is more the city kids who are complaining.... who knows!

Obviously the mud and wet conditions are a real pain for people who rely on sturdy ground to move around, these are the guys who should be moaning but I bet there the ones moaning the least.

Yes its gonna be muddy, its probably gonna harden up if we dont get much more rain, however if we get a few more showers (like forecast) it should stay wet and slippy..who cares, I guarantee by midnight Thursday night, you will be having such a good time, the Mud will just be distant memory, besides its softer to fall over onto when you've had one too many...

seriously guys, are we actually THIS bothered about the weather, when its the mighty Glastonbury this weekend.....

Pull yourself together...refocus...we got a job to do

Wishing you all an awesome festival....

while i understand and appreciate the sentiment, try telling that to me if i can't push my daughters pram anywhere.

[CaledonianGonzo]

But at the end of the day it's a gathering in a field in Somerset. Weather happens and if it's hot there is not enough shade and if it's wet there is mud. I recommend shorts and bare feet and a stash of plastic bags to protect the feet if entering the loos.

[adamski]

You are not going to be able to push your daughter's pram. I am nearly 100% certain of that. Beg, borrow or steal one of those backpack type things to transport the kid.

[dirk4danger]

Prams should be banned. They obstruct the flow of people.

If you can have a tram, then I'm bringing a golf buggy. Is that OK?

[_danny_]

Yes, use the baby carrier! Have you got a babyhawk? They're the dogs doo dahs, I was carrying my son until he was 4! It's a fabric one and so comfy!

[SteveTLizard]

Checked my rain radar forecast, Pilton to get a shower from 12 til 12:20, then some sun.

Chill out folks if flippin Glastonbury tomorrow, no?

[_danny_]

Sorry, thought that was a baby carrier in your profile picture

They sleep happily in fabric baby carriers, but i guess it takes some getting used to for the parent. Well it's food for thought for your next festy venture, honestly, once you start carrying regularly you realise what a relief it is without the cumbersome pram in crowds. But good luck with the pram, sure you'll be fine!

I made another sacrifice to the weather gods before leaving home. It absolutely pissed it down in Sunderland last night and my bedroom is in the atic. Me n the Mrs had our final full nights sleep rudely disturbed by lashings of r**n which woke us up on numerous occasions.

Off to get the coach from Sunderland to Stoke in couple of hours for leg one of the journey.

I shall be making another sacrifice in Manchester by lugging my stuff plus poncho, wellies and waterproof trousers through the city centre from the coach to train station. And to top off the final sacrifice, it will prob r**n on me during this trek, after all it is Manchester!

Can't believe this time tomorrow the gates shall be open! Yessssssssss!

[The Pumpkin King]

Is there any hope at all? Looks really poor; with BBC taking a turn for the worse too..
