Original Factory Shop has Trespass wellies with nice squashy insoles for £18....far better than the hard Dunlop ones at £12.

 

Thanks for the tip.

Googled Original Factory Shop to find this, first suggestion after typing "original f" was "original fancy dress ideas". If you found it on the internet, it's not an original idea, British public, you complete shower of imbeciles.

Cheers will have a look, I've just come across these though, look like the Rolls Royce of wellies but not cheap at £79 quid..

Exactly! 2-0 is a dangerous lead.

Lol!

But he's right. Enjoy it, but don't sell your mother for it just yet

Things our end look fairly peachy but just takes Greenland to get excited... By Wednesday I'll start considering putting one in the cooler for Sunday

Monday 22 June—Sunday 5 July A very British summer

Towards the end of June and into the start of July it looks as though we're going to see an area of high pressure moving towards the UK from the Azores but struggling against the chilly northwesterly weather pattern of the previous week. What this means in terms of the weather we can expect is a bit of a northwest-southeast split. In the north and west the weather is likely to be unsettled with showers and longer spells of rain and strong winds at times too. Temperatures are looking like being below average too. In the south and east the weather will be more settled with longer sunny periods with lighter winds but still turning chilly by night. All parts will see at least some rain or at least showers, but the focus for this type of weather will be northern and western Scotland, Northern Ireland and northwest England. The best of the drier and brighter weather will be found in eastern and southern Scotland, Wales and eastern and southern England with the highest temperatures likely in the southeast of England.

Clear to me that this puts Glastonbury in the South/East part of the divide. If wales is going to be part of the 'best of the weather', then we're fine.

Agrees with all forecasts so far. Some rain at some point, some sun at some point, nothing on either extreme.

It's a bit all over the place at the moment, which is kind of expected given we're still 10 days away (how exciting). 

 

I'll be glad that it's a bit clearer this time next week, this is the only time of year where I spend some time studying the forecasting models on Netweather :lol:

I have a pair of muck boots. They are incredible. Nice chunky tread so double nicely as walking boots. Neoprene around the calf is great and easy to roll down if getting warm. Comfortable enough to wear with a regular pair of socks. A little heavy, but overall I highly recommend them.

This is the latest from the metoffice at 13:09 today:

 

UK Outlook for Friday 19 Jun 2015 to Sunday 28 Jun 2015:

A dry and mostly fine start to southern parts on Friday, but with cloud thickening from the west later bringing outbreaks of rain at times, mainly in northern and central parts. Rather cloudy over the weekend with showers or longer spells of rain in the north and the best of the warmer sunnier spells will be in the south of the country. Similar conditions are likely on Monday. More settled weather will spread to the north from Tuesday leaving predominantly dry and fine conditions for all for a time midweek. However, unsettled weather may return later in the period, mainly in the northwest. Temperatures generally above average in the southeast but will remain cooler in the northwest.

Tis odd that some of the models are starting to show a breakdown in pressure next weekend, similar to this. Dunno if that's a good thing though.

They've been throwing up that breakdown all the time, but it's no surprise to see it in FI as it favours a return to the norm

There's no denying it's there but it's a mild break so far and mostly north of us and later in the period, pray it stays so I guess

    • Muse new album out soon , European tour announcement for Nov and Dec, no Spanish date and north American tour starts in July and in North America for all of July and August. So primavera and Glastonbury 
    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city!
