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

Any amount of sun will do over the coming days. Has anyone seen that vid of someone travelling down the A37? Shit your pants stuff. I reckon we'll not see a drop by the time we're all cruising in Tuesday night / weds morning though. Things are looking up!

Ah well, we've got this to look forward to

goddamn, now in two minds whether to bring walking boots or wellies - if the mud/rain is anything like that my walking boots aren't gonna do shit

Wetsuit

[Mardy]

fuck this shit. Will make a final decision after the weekend

[jezzer]

Just taken a look at the Netweather forum and it's looking positive in there. Most of the models now agreeing on a warm up and I'd expect the Met Office to change to a better outlook for next week. Even the BBC weather app, one of the most negative, looks good, can always add a few degrees on their temps too!

That's put a massive smile on my face! Love the cheers when Murphy sings the weather line.

amen. would be an absolute nightmare (not that it can't get worse...)

[stopwn1981]

It'd be interesting if anyone knew how much rain has fallen in the vicinity in the last week and today in particular???

[General Lee]

Really need some decent weather to dry this up now. It looks like a nightmare to me. 

We need a bit of luck from here in.

I believe the technical meteorological term is a fuckload

Nah, not allowed. That face plate is glass...

I'm actually feeling quite positive. The forecasts seem to be getting slightly better each time and the ground has 4 full days to dry out. The temperatures seem to be creeping up so that should help.

Might bring my snorkel 

Fortunately, it looks like they've managed to divert all the water onto a side wall, and are having all the trucks drive along the wall to preserve the ground- we might be okay

I'll join you on this.

It's a well known place for flooding, they've got stuff to put on the mud/puddles so by the time we get there it'll be flipflops all around!

[howlin_pete]

So it might be sunny but muddy. Better than rainy and muddy! Going to by me a small camping stool to carry round to save my feet

Me too. It's not going to be a scorcher, but by Wednesday all will be well, looking at the current forecast. 

A bit of wind will help dry the ground too. I'm (hoping to be.....) on site on Monday. I'll eat some beans before I go...:D

[Mr.Tease]

The main worry now is whether the site will dry before opening time- parking will be a nightmare otherwise, and I remember the bus drop off point can get flooded (it did in 2007)- will be chaos if there is significant rain on the Monday/Tuesday.

[guypjfreak]

well see how the £10000000000 drains do now ah

[JoeyT]

I can deal with wearing wellies and mud underfoot. I'd rather it was wet beneath my feet than falling from the sky!! 

[weeksy97]

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.

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah atm I feeling like it'll be okay. Similar to last year, maybe a bit colder/overcast. 

Don't mind mud at all, just I'd rather wear my docs than wellies (waaaaaay more comfy) so I'd rather it wasn't significant mud...
