Morning all, Bigdog has had his walk and recommends that you don't forget the blanket to go in your basket because it was cold last night with a heavy dew on everything this morning. He managed to find some horse poo to eat today, piquante with a high straw content but a bit dessicated because the weather is so dry. His paws were a bit dusty after the track across the G car park and the buzzards were starting to try and thermal, so rising air is starting.

He expects that everybody should spend the next 5 days rolling in the sunshine and chasing rabbits.

And don't forget your rope toy and squeaky bone. He is having a last roll in the sunshine before going on hols later to a friends.

I'm only taking my walking boots, which are good for everything except crazy mud, but as a bonus are super comfy. And some espadrilles, naturally.

Kudos to you, I'm not that brave, but I will be avoiding bringing any waterproof clothes. Just watch out, in 2010 I got a nasty rash on my leg (chemicals/muckspreading?) that made it unbearable to walk and made me miss half of Muse (although it definitely helped after the medical centre gave me some calamine & antihistamines - after staring at it for 20 minutes before carefully saying "well, it seems to be a dermatological problem..." )

Take your wellies, it really doesn't take much for the site to get churned up even with tiny amounts of rain.

[Jameslcfc]

Bought some wellies last night but I'm gonna keep the labels/plastic on them so I can take them back afterwards because it looks like I'm not gonna need 'em!

Looking like this could be a great first year of Glasto; except for battling hayfever.

[Gnomicide]

Thank you bigdog.

I belive The Guardian have been in touch for a Jackone style quote?

dry as a bedouins flip flop

My final update

The worst forecast is for 6mm of rain over the festival. That really, really isn't a lot. The average of the different sites is somewhere around 2.5mm.

It looks like it's going to be a great one.

I will be setting off in a couple of hours. Hell yes!

Thanks to everyone on this thread, especially JackOne, pedmills & big dog :-)

Have a flipping amazing festival!

This weather has thrown me off completely. Do I take Wellies? Walking boots? Wellies AND Walking Boots?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Even at a wet one I'd only take either one or the other. Better off taking a pair of trainers as a second set of footwear.
