The BBC forecast said it would rain here at 1pm and 5pm - been clear blue skies all day. Fingers crossed that's what their current forecast for Glasonbury will result in!!

Well now we're fucked

So Mr Fish's forecast is out. Biblical storms then.

You are both very naughty indeed, assuming that people at work won't watch videos. Everything is fine :) He says it all in the first 20 seconds.

This could be the briefest forecast ever, because high pressure will remain to the west, and what you have now, you'll probably keep.

How on earth can a forcast change so much in a few hours?

Last week the forcast was disgusting for Swindon and it turned out fantastic

OK.

So imagine a big rain cloud is predicted to be over your house. So it predicts rain.

When the forecasters look again it looks like that weather system will be located 10 miles further west.

So now the forecast will say it looks like it will be sunny over your house.

That's all it takes - 5 miles one way or the other and the forecast changes - it's why it's so stupid all this focusing on specific details.

Tensions are rising- I feel like we're in the last round of a poker tournament, there's a big pile of chips in the middle of the table, which we either win (2010) or lose (2007). It's understandable that people are getting a bit grumpy and tense- there's a lot at stake!

It's not that dramatic though. The doom mongers are trying to make out like it's that black and white - either solid sun or mudbath-hell and that's just not the case and we mustn't get whipped up by it

There is a lot at stake, but the stakes aren't as high as is being made out

Oh FFS it's not been close to being 2007. At worse we might get 10mm over the festival at the moment. Less than we had on Thursday last year.

People need to stop assuming any rain at all = 2007/1997/1998. It's been absolutely baking again down this way... The ground is harder than a porn star on Viagra

Walking distance. That's 6 miles away! A good 2 hour walk each way.

Plus an hour or two shower and charge your phone. That's about a six hour round trip.

What a fucking waste of time. You should be making the most of every single minute on the site and no worrying about charging your sodding phone or having a shower. What is wrong with you people?

Looking good for the start of the festival but predicts rain for the weekend.

"Overall a mixed set of charts today and a slight worsening of the score to 5.5. But no real washout charts in the offing."

Sounds like it could just be cloudy with some showers.

Also being Irish - that's just a shitty cover of Don't Fear The Reaper.

:D

It's a damn sight better than Scorpion - Winds Of Change!!

:D

I bloody loved The Stunning as well. Music of my teenage years and they were one of the first bands I ever saw live.

    • 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.
