across97 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Must admit the weather has improved, and still is improving, so hopefully that spreads to glasto. So heres a question, if the weather stays dry to the run up of the festival (as almost predicted) do we think the ground could dry up nicely reading for when I/Many others arrive on Wednesday?

Last 2 years it has been late afternoon/early evening on Friday we got the heavy showers. Will we get a 3 years running event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I'm not sure that the John Peel Tent even exists. I've heard rumours about it, sure, but like Stringfellows or Stamford Bridge I can't imagine why anyone would want to go there.

The route up there round the north side of the Pyramid is the site of the deepest mud I've ever seen at the festival. Mustve been 2-3 feet deep. Diabolical stuff.

Spindles Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I count myself lucky to have never experienced such conditions in just shy of 10 visits. These days they hit the worst ground with almost military precision as soon as issues appear. The slippy surface mud isn't a problem for long, but when the mashed up grass and thick claggy mud starts you know things are going south. Thankfully the prevention work they do these days does much to prevent that becoming a problem in the worst areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawdusty surfer Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Still absolutely hammering it down. All work has stopped. We really need some hot dry weather to sort the ground out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ommadawn Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hope you're ok James. I've just driven through Pilton in pretty much the worse rain I've seen. Manhole covers lifted and roads like rivers. Thunder and lightning too. I wouldn't want to be working outside in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Tease Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Well, according to the bbc, this should be the last of the rain for a few days (little bit on Sunday), so I suppose there's hope it will dry out. Took the ground about 2 days to dry up after the 2005 flood, though that did have hot sun to push things along, at the moment there is no sun forecast really until possibly Tuesday/wednesday Edited June 17, 2016 by Mr.Tease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yokel Again Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 We have days to go yet, no panic. The mass of people aren't there until Weds, so that's 4 days for it to firm up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
