Remember he's not been - i think the use of the word mudbath at all is rather inflammatory there

A bit of rain Tuesday and Wednesday is Wray we used to dismiss as softening the ground for our tent pegs - chill out you panicers

I picked up a random hitcher with a guitar this afternoon heading out of Frome...he came past us as we walked back home and we watched him get ignored by every car that passed on the mile we were behind him. When we got home I got the car out and caught him up. He said he was going to Glastonbury to walk up the Tor and watch the sunset, and although it's 20 miles away I took him there.

We went through Pilton and past all the security and traffic going in and out of the site and we talked about the Festival and how we were praying for good weather...to which he nodded sagely....

I dropped him by Chalice Well at the base of the Tor and he told me his name was Simon, I told him I was Rich, and when he waved goodbye he said thanks and wished me a good day...and then said 'have a good festival....the weather will be just fine'.

I believe him. He's probably still up there now.....strumming a few tunes.

The pain you are putting yourselves through!!!

I will have some belief in science after Sunday and not before.

Ahh so you'll follow the science, just at a slightly later stage :-)

OK Im giving up looking at charts and this long range forecast shite.

Id never even seen a weather chart before this week and Iv decided Im reverting back to my "any earlier than 7 days before a festival is bullshit" rule.

I've been following this for a while but my friend has just started working for the met office and has told me that it's impossible to predict over 5 days in advance and that most the time it's just a load of guff. So i think we should perhaps ignore these forecasts for a couple of days (see you here every waking hour until Tuesday).

Great stuff driving him there,

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
