The state of the ground

[pie_and_a_pint]

Arrived at 4.30pm. Blue and purple car parks passable with great care but very muddy. Route to Ped Gate B is sloppy, thick, slippery mud. If I'm honest I can't see it drying up for Wednesday morning, but we did get sack trucks through easily enough, although of course they're filthy.

Inside the site, camping is fine.

I'm in walking boots, not wellies, and it's ok - probs should have put my gaiters in as my leggings are filthy, but it's all good.

Does anybody know as to the current state of Bushey ground?. Myself and my friends have never camped in that particular spot so am wondering how it holds up in these particular situations?.

camped there several times in bushy ground/rivermead and never had trouble with mud there

24 hours to go at least - that mud will be rather different by then and even more so for those arriving wednesday daytime, Sounds ok....

Looks like it was mostly taken before the rain stopped so will already have dried lots - and judging by the recent pics it has.

Bugger, I just went out and bought some wellies, looks like that was a waste of money. It looks like it's going to be trainers by wedensday.

So heaps dryer now. If I get any more optimistic and excited I really am going to explode.

We usually go in through gate D and follow the steel tracks to The middle/top bit of Dairy (the original Dairy, now Paines if seems) just up from the lock up.  2011 was OK to make this trip so I'm not tooooo scared.  Just a bit worried about the hill up to the gate D maze and the rumours of Dairy being saturated.  Fingers crossed!

If we have no more rain, with ground like that, we'll be fine!
