Forecast was always for rain this morning, brighter later with some sun & wind. Hopefully be ok. Still be damp underfoot Thursday, but hopefully not enough to churn to the thick muddy stuff.

We're heading to lowther today, makes sense it would be lashing down !

Coming live and direct from the centre of the universe also known as the deer park ............. I can confirm it's raining! Not bad but rainy

Not looking great is it. Wellies and North Face waterproof jacket the order of the weekend I'm thinking. I did Glastonbury last year so surely can't be as bad as that? This year we got lucky and it was glorious.

Hope it dries up for you sir. 

Maybe take a walk to the site through the woods tonight when you are relatively sober :-)

Try and lay down some markers and get your bearings for the weekend adventures when your walking back after a couple of light ales.

Quiet night with a DVD tonight in the van ?

Can I suggest the Blairwitch Project.

Wellies. Always bring the Wellies *

I'm staying in a touring caravan with the wife and 2 daughters, that prospect is scary enough

Do deer eat breadcrumbs ? I could be knackered if they do !

Pretty consistent forecast from our Norwegian brethren.

[cincoveces05]

This'll be Sunday night in Wolf Woods as Frank Turner takes the stage

 

 

[ramragon]

At lowther caravan park bow, suns out and it's been dry for hours, fingers crossed it stays like this for a while

[Robofish]

Given the weather forecast, I have a KC newbie question. How many of the venues are in tents? 

[Scargilla]

The majority are under tents to be fair so we will be fine... the main stage however will play host to another mud wrestling arena. 

[SloopJohnB]

It's pissing down and blowing a gale in Penrith right now!!

[Baby On A Stick]

Ma Mate's been on site tonight & ground's holding up. But obviously yet to have thousands walking on it. 

As we say in these parts... 'I'll Be Reet!'

Great sentiment to have

Someone said this on TalkSport earlier in the week that kind of rings true for KC...
