It's like saying "I'm reluctant to post a list" then proceeding to rank albums in the Radiohead thread! It's not too early to look at them but definitely too early to take them seriously!

Somewhere in the middle would be great but all the wishing for hot weather means really warm cider, sunburn, trying to navigate through everyone lying down and the dreaded DUST!

Look at my poor ginger red face. I'm giving you a +1 back as I know what you're trying to say. We don't want a parched earth scorcher where we need drilling equipment to get tent pegs in and every bit of shade resembles an Indian train with people desperately trying to hang on. A nice bit of the damp stuff to give good ground conditions before the festival and a little sprinkling in the mornings while we sleep to keep the dust at bay. As has previously being mentioned because Orbital are playing we are guaranteed to have little fluffy clouds. Does anyone have weather reports for previous festivals when Orbital have played? Could they be the bringers of perfect festival weather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_c Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 God I thought I missed a major announcement then about orbital. Sadly I didn't. Plenty of sun with a few showers is what we need. Hat, sunscreen and an umbrella can deal with the sun during the day, much better than trudging through gorilla glue all day with nowhere to sit.

And a disappointing amount of unnecessary litter. Probably my biggest bugbear at festivals. I get that there will be a fair amount near the front of stages with people not having a bin to discard empties and not wanting to lose a spot, but there really is no need whatsoever in areas further back. Food plates wind me up the most. Rant over. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, pisses me off too, must be the same folk that go to McDonald's drive through, park up in the car park, eat then dump all the rubbish out the window. I bin all of my rubbish and if I'm near the front I put my empties back in my bag, it's not difficult like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find back of West Holts one of the worst places for it with all the Brothers cup holders and food trays. No excuse anywhere but definitely not at Glastonbury where you're never more than a minute from a bin really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 On the news this morning they said that in April, some places in the U.K. Only had 3mm of rain throughout the whole month, when in a normal month they'd have about 45mm, does this worry anybody else?

My wife's reaction to this drought news report was to quite casually say, "Don't worry - it'll be Glastonbury soon". She's not going to the festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
