U2 in the rain is definitely the lowest I've ever felt at Glastonbury & made me really dread the next couple of days.

Woke up the next day & the sun came out! (a bit). Sunday was nice, I remember sunbathing whilst Plan B was on.

U2 was w*nk, the rain was not the worst part of it, was like glastonbury itself was crying at bono singing unaccompanied.... That was a low point

There is talk on the weather forums of the low perhaps heading towards northern France than directly sitting over us.

What can we do to make this happen? :)

It could be as simple as wafting your hand in the air- it's a bit like chaos theory where the tiniest atmospheric changes can have a cascade effect- so get wafting!

Hope some of the methane gases from the long drops absorb their way underground, entering the atmosphere in the English Channel thereby creating a barrier against the low pressure?!

it's been said somewhere else but the issue with 2011 is that the site was already sodden. This year the site is bone dry. Sure we might get rain across similar days, but a totally dry site will make a difference.

In a strange way I quite enjoyed the rain on the Thursdays last year and in 2009. But that was because we knew that was the worst of it gone. 2011 was a different magnitude, partly as you say because the ground was pre-soaked. But I would hate another day like that Friday. Trying to watch music when it's pissing down is No Fun. Still, nothing we can do except suck it up. Gah!

From what I read, it isn't that bad. Showers rather than persistant rain are forcast?

mostly or exclusively on Fri, it seems. some persistent rain, then, maybe not heavy, or light stuff with heavier showers.

I don't think the ground has been this dry pre-glastonbury for over a decade- who knows what will happen when it starts to rain? Will it just roll along the top and pool? will it slip down the cracks a drain instantly? Will it cause the ground to soak up and seal the cracks like bullet wounds to the T-1000 in terminator 2?

If you haven't already, said a thank you to Jackone I'm sure it would be appricated. The daily updates take him a long long time..

Quoted from JACKONE: "Thanks for all the feedback, (good and bad) it is appreciated, and makes the hard work worthwhile..."

    • 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.
