Rather strangely if you look at the Shap forecast on accuweather above its totally different to the one at hackthorpe which is 2 mins from the festival !

I'll take thus one

http://m.accuweather.com/en/gb/hackthorpe/ca10-2/weekend-weather/327492

Think there is some gremlins on the original link? If you type Shap in (even overwriting Shap) it refreshes to identical to the Hackthorpe one. I also just checked Lowther which is also the same, make sure I wasn't going potty or accu had all of a sudden became amazingly cloud specific accurate!

Its been around 13-16c for a while here (15mile east of Lancaster) but the feel is a lot warmer, gonna be a belter!

Met Office says it's going to be a bit grim all week....but brighten up on Thursday.

 

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Staying breezy on Wednesday but showers will be lighter and more scattered. Drier on Thursday with sunny spells before the threat of further showery rain by Friday. Staying cool throughout.

:phew:

The main bit on the local news on breakfast tv was the fact that a month's woth of rain has fallen last night and more is due today... luckily no flooding reported yet

Good start to the week then !

 

its raining now, but its only light.  The rain last night was heavy, but i'd not say it was a months worth!

in July a months worth of rain isn't as much as say a months worth in February so it will be fine red hot and sunny see you lot in the fields.

Yeh BBC news seems to be insisting that all will be well.

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points. 
    • Interesting that they’ve mentioned Blink-182 in mail. Btw dates for 2027 are 10-12 June. Same dates as Mystic & Sweden Rock and most likely Download, RFP & Greenfield.     
    • Scooter are a meme booking. The Chems aren’t viewed in the same way. They’re a serious electronic act, whereas Scooter has only ever been suggested (and now booked) because ‘LOL look how wacky us metalheads are we love silly music too’.
