I'm getting nervous - it's not looking great at the moment, and if it's looking like it'll be a muddy one hubby will stay at home as he literally cannot move in the mud due to his cerebral palsy. Which would leave me to set up for five people (rest of group arriving Thursday/Friday) and having recently discovered this will be my first pregnant glastonbury I'm reluctant to load myself up too much.

It's worrying, but still not quite enough to drive me away from the true path of science...

Science has many mysteries, revealed only to those who study it. Mysticism, however, is for loons.

The only mystery about weather science is the fact that they still haven't worked out a way of predicting tomorrow's weather, let alone the forecast in a month.

This early on, the only thing any of us have is hope and faith.

Really? I thought all the indications at the moment were for a pretty dry one? Where are you seeing bad reports?

Edit: you've got me worried now!

Congratulations! Fingers crossed for a dry one for you. When are you turning up? I'm sure you'd find some kind souls here to meet you and help put your tents up. I'm getting there Tuesday so may even be able to meet you at the gate to help carry some stuff if you like. Let me know when/where you'll be turning up.

Its looking quite positive at the moment, but remember it is extremely unlikely that there will be no rain or mud at all. A year like 2010 is a rarity.

Have you contacted the festival about your husbands disability? As I understand it they do help people with a disability and mobility difficulties. It used to be for people with broken legs as well, but then a whole load of jokers turned up on crutches to get a good view of the Pyramid stage (can you believe it!?). I only know about this because my mum broke her leg last year and asked the festival about access.

Thank you, that's very kind of you! If hubby doesn't come I will probably change my plans as currently we are planning to head up on the Tuesday, but will go later if I'm on my own. I plan to travel light (no booze to carry at least!) and make the rest of our group carry more of their stuff (had offered to take stuff in our car as they're all going by public transport) so I'm sure I'll be grand, just like to worry a bit about logistics!

I looked into it last year, but because he doesn't claim any DLA and doesn't have a blue badge he isn't entitled to any help, which is bonkers really as he would be completely unable to move In 2011 conditions and I almost had to carry him back to our tent after having to walk in wellies all day last year on the Friday because his legs went into spasm. Maybe I will try again but didn't get much of a helpful response last year.

Anyway, sorry for going off topic!

real time weather observation in action today. Despite the photo quality, it is sunny and he is solar powered. We will go for a mooch towards Worthy later and see if anything interesting is within photo range.

Haha! OK, well if you change your mind and find yourself laden with stuff, just ping me a message before the Tuesday and I'll be happy to help. Enjoy the festival!

    • As many said before, not my favourite Primavera. sh*tty weather is something I'm not really used to when enjoying music. Poor communication (more than 1 hour long radio silence during the worst rain) didn't help, but the main problem was me. I decided to leave the venue after things seemed to be getting back to normal. Massive Attack were supposed to play again (with Hymn of the Big Wheel back on the setlist!) as were all other artists on the smaller stages (including Fcukers with one my favourite albums of the year). FOMO was at an all-time high. However, after 4 hours in the rain, I had to admit to myself that I'm not cut out for this. I wasn't even that soaked (water-proof jacket worked). I was just fed up with the rain, wind and cold and wasn't able to enjoy music anymore.   Also, they should stop ignoring the growth of some artists between signing them up and their actual performance. Both PinkPantheress and Ninajirachi sets were ruined for me by completely inadequate stage choice.   However, I felt very much the same way after the 2022 edition and have thoroughly enjoyed all subsequent editions. So I'm still buying early bird tickets for 2027 and hoping this was a hiccup not the start of a downward trend.
    • I will definitely be buying a 2027 early bird pass, partially because of the priority reservation privileges for the Ciutat sets. Hopefully the organization will take action to improve upon this year's failings. Because I thought the free water options and sound quality were an improvement over last year, so clearly they can actually implement positive changes.   I also hope all the douchebag chompers get in the sea, cause I was more bothered by them than in the past few years.   Highlights: The Cure, Ninajirachi, Knocked Loose, Current 93, Blood Orange.    
    • Similar feelings to a few others on here. Not my personal favourite edition but a long way from giving up on it. Felt overcrowded at times and there are just too many people there that don't seem to like music that much! Hardly went to main stages which was the plan. Highlights Ralphie Choo, rusowsky, Gorillaz, Geese, Gelli Haha, The Sophs, PinkPantheress, Dijon. Accommodation booked for next year. Thanks for your company and comments over the past year.
