See the most recent pages of the Weather Thread 2011 just below - though of course one man's downpour is another man's light drizzle; one man's mudbath is another man's muddy puddle.

Thanks

It's very muddy in the busy routes. I.e. Through gate c. Lots of slushy mud and some sizeable puddles. Grass where it's not churned up is pretty sturdy. Wellies are getting sucked off feet and trainers are hopelessly lost!

should dry up tomorrow and over the weekend with weather forecasted..

[russycarps]

biblical conditions I heard - driving rain, hail stones the size of melons, waist-deep mud, fire and brimstone

I'd stay at home if I were you

Swing and a miss russy

Have just popped back after putting up our tents in the pouring rain. Loads of people on the site already. Family camping at Cockcroft Meadow was full by 11.30am (not helped by almost the entire top area now out of bounds).

Metal walkways are fine but very muddy on either side. Stage fields are generally fine. Lots of new stuff to see which is good. The sun is now shining.

Thanks for the update, sounds great can't wait to get there a mate is hopefully pitching my tent now and I should be onsite by 6 am tomorrow morning

My mate is on site and not happy at all. His Hunters are a right mess and he got some mud on his Raybans.

That's for you russy.

How does it compare to other years? The sun tomorrow should be able to dry a lot of it up..?

Will my Cashmere get dirty, or should I bring my Barbour?

[Spindles]

its not a cashmere year dahhhhling. Definately bring the barbour, I'm told that at waitrose they have carrier bags you can put over your boots to keep them clean, just kick them off before you get in the range rover back to the hotel.

ha..sorry for sounding pedantic/obsessive...just not long since had a knee op so a lot potentially at stake for me here

p.s am a barbour man myself

I also read in the Daily Mail that Glastonbury-goers were stealing our jobs and straightening our bananas, make of that what you will.

I have hunters and raybans - does this make me bad??

ducks for cover

[amfy]

Trolleys not coping at all well. i am pretty hardened but getting on site was traumatic! i would advise anyone who hasnt yet set out to try downsizing their luggage if atall poss. weather has been good all afternoon bu the mud is currently gloopy, sticky and slippy coming in thru the gates and getting to a pitch. Seriously the first time we have got half way thru the process and thought 'never again!' Alright now tho!

[al_coholic]

It's very muddy in all public areas, similar to 2005 there is grass visible off the footfall areas
