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!

Just outside hanging up washing and thought I'd give it a go. Wandering around waving my hands in the air, muttering to the dog about the weather and if I was even waving my hands in the right direction, when I glanced up and met my neighbours eye. It's tricky going from waving your hands around like a nutter to nonchalant but I think I pulled it off.

Whatever you get up to in your back garden is your business I suppose.

Ha! And look- the weather forecasts have slightly improved already, proving that it's working! Keep at it!

it's looking like NO big deal. here is a map of the south west. sat and sunday not shown [sat will be 2mo, and sat and sunday shown on Weds. the only rain is light stuff on thurs and a bit more on the first half of Fri. sat and sun very likely to be bad ... IF you want rain on those days :sarcastic: .

Tis true but I don't want to do anything that lowers her opinion of my mental health so far that she won't give my dog back after his festival holiday with her. :)

I realise this, but their forecasts often differ from the Met Office. I'm a cameraman who films a LOT of outside events over the summer and I've done so for 20 years, watching the weather is part of my job and based on this experience I know that the BBC forecasts are often not very good at all.

Ahhh! You go outside a lot!? Sorry, I'll shut up.

I guess hes implying he'd need to keep a closer eye on the weather year round so he knows what sites are more reliable whereas most of us check a couple times a year. Of which case I'd totally value his opinion over most.

No I'm wrong the Beeb are great because they've got people from the Met Office. Apologies for the confusion, hope you have a great Glastonbury

Thanks for pointing out what he was implying. I lost that bit.

    • 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.
