I think it will be ok, main worry is it raining there but no harm with a bit of md as long as the weather holds off when everyone is there.

I find everyone having a bit of md does help. Especially of the ma variety

The pegs for my tent were coming out of the ground in my garden during the test run. And that was a couple of weeks ago when the weather was nice. No idea how they're gonna stay in the ground with how it's looking at the moment

Push the pegs in at an angle to the tent. The strain of ropes and the tent will naturally try to pull them out so push them in at an angle towards the tent so you create a right angle.

times I've seen it wet like that a dry day or two has sorted it out as it drains away. Sun obviously helps.

 

We need a couple of no rain days. Less chance of the environmentalist guys looking to halt it when it's wet (due to idiots pissing everywhere) with to it being more diluted? No that doesn't make it ok!

That sunset over the site on the webcam at the moment is giving me a little bit of hope. Can't wait to see that sunset again next week!

Yes that's a really beautiful view tonight, just like it's saying 'don't worry guys, trust me, all jus' gonna be OK'

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

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!!

      I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.

      I think it's just a slight shift in target audience of the festival, Andy also booked FOB    A lot of young people (me included) are nostalgic for the 2000's pop punk and nu metal rather than the 80's legacy bands    It's just the festival moving with the times I think Andy would of done the same    Although they are still booking some legacy acts like GNR but that doesn't seem to have gone well ticket sales wise

      Trent said he’s working on new Nine Inch Nails musicnand that Coachella was the farewell show for Nine Inch Noize.   Would be over the moon to have any of the options at Prima 2027, though
