It's really not looking good at all

Anyone know if you're allowed to use rainflys around the tents?

The sniffer dags will not let you in with them.

Best pack waterproofs and a jumper instead of shorts n t shirt if that's the forecast

Looking at average rainfall for the area and the time of year, bar Friday the other days are below average for rainfall. Its the Lakes, it has its own bizzaro weather going on. If we look past the pictures of raindrops its just showers here and there, which we should kind of expect anyway.

This will be our 5th year of KC and what is evident is that last year was a freak weather year so this time round I'd expect it to be sunny, raining, windy, still and warm all at the same time.

So tuck your flip flops in your wellies and enjoy! !

You need to realise that Kendal is 20+ miles from the festival site!

[lou_macari_chippy]

I didnt realise it was that far away from there  - this will be my first KC so...

We don't mind clouds. We don't mind light rain even. We just don't want 2014. I'm keeping the faith!

According to legend, the cloud bursting machine featured in this video is buried deep within a yard adjacent to the festival site.

It's bound to be horrific, i've been to 2 festivals, leeds 2013 (bibilical rain & had to abandon my tents due to flooding) and kendal 2014 (biblical rain but not as horrific as leeds). I AM THE GOD OF RAIN

Did Frank Turner play Leeds in 2013, we're building a case against him !

We`re doomed 

" When you're not holding the roof up and knee deep in it
And the pictures and the papers got ruined by the rain
And we wondered if they'd ever get dry again "
