I didnt sleep a wink on the Sunday night and had to get the 8am coach back. Taking a quilt this time

Yep, coach back to Liverpool at 8am, worse morning of my entire life. Taking a pillow last year was the best idea I ever had

[scaryclaireyfairy]

Naboo, is that you?

I'm still very optimistic. It is Friday. This is the first year I am getting there on a Thurs, usually I turn up on a Friday (I am a teacher). So many years I have had mates telling me the whole site is fucked due to rain on Wed/Thurs but its dried up when I get there on Friday or at least the following morning Sat. We have 4 whole days. The weather forecast looks good. 

Also we have been sent a couple of videos of the worst places just after a massive downpour, this is not going to stay like this. Cheers

Got coach back at about 1pm to liverpool and got stuck in mad traffic then an 8 hour ferry to Belfast at 10pm. Pretty much locked myself in a cubicle with the fear for the duration of the cruise home. Bringing the car this time!!

It's real.

It's only Friday. Remember it's a full 5 days before you're on site. The floodwater will be gone well before then.

[lebenski]

It just shows how saturated the ground is though.  PLEASE not another 2007...

It's real.

But, that water will be drained away within the next few days as long as we don't have much more rain

[Wooderson]

Good fucking Lord.

[4AssedMonkey]

Apparently most of it has drained away already in the couple of hours since the rain stopped. Some dry weather forecast. Fingers crossed. 

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Really wish I hadn't popped my head in here tonight.

Only a few hours ago I was telling my group the weather looks like it's going to be ok, they'll be proper pissed when they find out about the biblical floods.

[muddyslingbax]

my Slingbax will be muddy once more *sigh*

ah well, fuck it. It'll still be totally awesome coz it always is:):)

That makes the clip from earlier of the horse dying in The Never Ending Story look cheerful in comparison. 

We'll be lucky if GF16 even goes ahead now.

Festival could be cancelled.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Best case scenario. Rules out any possibility of accidentally being in the same vicinity as Catfish.

Just flash flooding - too much water too quickly so can't soak in - drainage will clear it quick enough.

Festival ain't tenable if this doesn't improve.

Maybe because I've raided my Glasto stash early, but that is beautiful.

The last second of daylight, you can see the night time and the day time in one photo, bring your eyes from the left of the picture to the right, then realise that it's 1 second, all captured at the same point in time.
What more is that it's the most amazing place on earth, so much happens within those boarders of the photo, memories, first times, friends, laughter, events.

Heck, submit this to Eavis and he'd give you a free ticket for next year.
