st dan Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Bloody hell .. Michael's shorts are getting shorter by the year. He'll be posing in a thong with Catfish for their 2020 headline slot at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deefer6 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 To sum up the site: in some places the mud is really bad, in some places it's ok, and in others there is no mud at all. The entrance to The Other Stage from the right of the Pyramid is absolutely fubar. But, they are working very hard to sort it out. Lorries full of wood chip is going down as I type. Also, it's all drying nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 FUBAR is a military acronym for "fucked up beyond all/any recognition/repair/reason/redemption." I've heard that doctors used to write it on terminally ill paitients records, but that might be an urban myth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyuk Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Some of the markets are sticky, but all roads through the markets are dry and taking traffic nicely. I just walked in from ped gate C, to John Peel, and my gaiters are barely dirty. And look at this lush grass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubblecup Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 PGB is awful! A mixture of sticky suck you off mud and liquid mud, it will take one hell of a trolley to make it through. The higher car parks are fine, parked in purple 2 and no mud but high up, purple 1 is shut. The weather has been fine however much more sun is needed before the gates dry out, if you're queuing overnight be aware and be prepared, it will not be a pleasant experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Yog says, originated in WW2 as shown in Saving Private Ryan and continued through to Vietnam and current day. Am sure however we are not going to need the term this weekend except for someone who has taken their weekends worth of stash in the first few hours.

philipsteak Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Loads of wood chippings down right by ped gate b but the path from the car parks is a mess. Some parts are pretty dry, but mostly a mix of really thick sticky mud and really sloppy mud/water. If they manage to get more bark down might but can't see how they will though. Once inside, pretty much as others are saying. Some places the mud is up to the top of walking boots, but we also spent an hour sat in the grass near the other stage and i only has a slightly damp arse. Silver Hayes was a mess but it always seems to get messy there. Muddy lane, one of the least muddy tracks on site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfunk Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 =So am I taking wellies, or just relying on my boots and gaiters.. That's all I need to know.. Also I'm travelling by train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie_and_a_pint Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 It's. Fine. If you prefer wellies, bring wellies. If you prefer boots, bring boots. You may want (but will not necessarily need) gaiters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
