yes, I also can't remember if it was 97 or 98, but I do remember it well, as I was one of the people that went in 🙂
I was feeling a bit smug as I had decent boots on , so while everyone else was sticking to the paths, i would just stride through the mud, no big deal
then was hading for somewhere past the pyramid, and on approching from the cider bus side, loads of people in the way, so i went through the empty space, noticed lots of people stood with cans of beer watching nothing in particular, then -sploosh- up to my thighs in slop - a big cheer went up from the crowd, I extracted myself, laughing, then spent half an hour scraping it all off with a crushed beer can 🙂
good times 🙂
I enjoyed it (probably as it was only my second time) but it was really a struggle. We didn't do as much as we couldn't get anywhere quickly. We just ended up getting drunk.
It was also really dangerous at times and I really hope the festival has made things safe as it only felt like luck that stopped serious injury. I remember I think going into Pennards toilets bottom of the hills people were slipping over in the mud and it was so close to a crush.
