I weirdly don't remember 2016 being *that* bad. Yes it was muddy.
Worst part of that festival was that I pitched a tent on a slope and spent all night sliding down my tent! Schoolboy error.
2011 Wed/Thurs/Fri I seem to remember being garbage. Torrential rain from 8am Wed setting up.
I couldn't get anywhere near Silver Hayes/John Peel and I had terrible blisters from the rubbing of my wellies. It dried up Sat/Sun.
Totally agree, 99 was great. 98 just about finished me off but managed to win a pair of tickets on Radio 1 the week before the festival and went last minute with my best mate. Such a great weekend and reinforced my love for the place.
