Good day! Bit damp here over the weekend, and for my part of the sacrifice, myself and my man friend went to Kew Gardens on Saturday. Started off nice, then got a bit wet, then cleared up again. The wet bit happened when I was attempting the Treetop walkway, which is a structure made of (what seems like) flimsy metal and chicken wire that is 18 metres high! I'm terrified of heights but gave it a go. I made it to the top of the stairs but had to stay there clinging on for dear life, while the rain rained and the walkway swayed in the wind. Brown trousers and cycle clips time!

He went round it, and then escorted me down the stairs. It was horrible.

An hour or so later, and not to be defeated by said flimsy metal structure, it had cleared up and the sun was shining so I gave it another go. This time, I made it all the way around, clinging on tio the side and firmly gripping the mans hand. I was doing that crying/laughing thing, and I'm pretty sure I scared some small children. I've no idea what the view was like, as I could only stare straight ahead of me!

I'm very proud of myself for doing it, and I'm quite sure my battering at 18 metres by the rain on my first attempt pleased the Weather Gods a little.

Stormy here last night too. My Cat also not a fan!! Her and me stood at the back door watching the rain in the woods outside. She kept going to hide behind me!

We're just getting it all out of the ay now, Whisty :)

Didn't see a pylon get hit, but in 2009 I did see some great lightning as I walked back to camp from watching East 17 on the Thursday night. First time I'd seen proper lightning like that, on the horizon it was, bloody lovely.

    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
    • I mean...I do think it all needs more regulation, but god knows how when it's all so global...but there's so much stuff on there that is messing with our little minds. But also, he has given these companies till September, and well...he'll surely be gone by then. I think social media ban for under 16s will likely happen, but I think regulating it for everyone is better. It's the not the kids we should be worried about, it's all those middle aged doom scrolling keyboard warriors like me.
    • I agree the prices are tough for locals. You can see if Porto timetable is the type that works for you and it's a terrific city. Also cheaper. https://www.primaverasound.com/es/porto/lineup-porto
    • thanks XXialac! i guess for us the most important aspect will be a festival that starts very late in the day, specially in these southern countries were it can be really hot! The combination of visiting a new city, having good lunches and enjoying a festival is a absolute must for us. Also, we like headliners but the undercard is just as important; truly enjoyed Men I trust, NewDad, Big Thief this year so from that angle it is not really a big thing if a festival is somewhat smaller.    Apparently my bad, i had 5 in my system but 0.5 (10%) increase is still huge. I am not sure how teenagers can afford these prices............
