For me it's all about Saturday. We know the taps are going to come on late Thursday night / early Friday morning, then a break before starting up for most of Friday afternoon and evening.

If - and it's a big if - things dry off from that point onwards then the underfoot carnage should be bearable.

Would sit square in the middle between 2013 and 2011 in terms of what hits you from above and what you have to walk through below.

To tell you the truth based on what I've seen it woudln't surprise me if the forecast on the Beebs website for the weather on Thurs/Fri/Sat changes to overcast Wednesday night.

Oh god, I've just caught up in this all in one go. Nerves shot to pieces, confused, possibly delerious. Still not clear what's actually happened. Can someone just tell me I've got this right:

  1. Significant differences between the forecasts still
  2. Rain is a certainty
  3. How much rain, or if the rain will be prolonged or showery, is less certain
  4. It's not looking very sunny - mainly overcast
  5. It might be a bit chilly at night
  6. There's a faint glimmer that this could change again
  7. Several people have got engaged to CaledonianGonzo

The only certainty is that CaledonianGonzo has got engaged to several people

My poxy iphone weather app says rain fri/sat/sun - knew I should have bought a Samsung!

But then you'd be stuck with a rubbish weather forecast and a rubbish phone.

So, setting off in about 30 mins (or less).

Can't make sense of any of this.

Am wearing my sandals. Have also packed into the car sneakers, walking boots and wellies.

Will decide in the morning which of these to take into site with me.

You will be fine tomorrow, the uncertainty begins Thursday evening.

Hey, a direct reply from the mallard - I'm not worthy!!!

I'll check this thread in the morning to see the latest. Push comes to shove I'll do what I've never done in my 13 previous Glastos - go back to the car to get something I've left behind.

Enjoy

:-)

As long as you can sit on most of the ground without it being muddy i'll be happy. I cant be bothered carting round one of them millets chairs around for the whole weekend again either. Must have bought around 10 last time it rained as they kept getting stolen/lost!

Definitely don't want 30 degrees either as you cant sleep in later than 6am and it completely drains you.

Overcast and 20 degrees, just a touch of rain to make the ground soft, sorted :)

Bring Bin Liners if you want to sit down, from the looks of things the will be points when the ground is muddy (based on the latest forecasts) but nothing a bin liner wont fix.

Apart from that I'm not fussy! ;-)

All of a sudden and for no apparent reason a warm glow of optimisation has engulfed me. I've accepted it'll rain on the friday but im also certain it won't lead to armagedon and balls up everything for the entire weekend.

I remember walking around last year on the friday morning early doors and thinking it looked like a disaster zone everywhere. That turned out great and so will this. I refuse to believe anything different from this point onwards

    • 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. 
    • We've reasonably predicted/wanted a bill of Blink, Avril, Good Charlotte for a while 😅    I'm surprised that Good Charlotte's UK shows in November seem to be doing well atm... obviously if they sell out those venues then they should be subheadliners right? (if they play download that is). They'd only look a strong sub if it was before Blink though I rekn.
