Some times the weather is in a period where it's fairly predictable 7-10 days out, but it's changeable at the moment and really it's anyones guess.

joeltg Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 So many contrasting forecasts as always, so I am going to avoid weather reports now and pack walking boots and trainers, what will be will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest17 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 As long as it's not raining when I'm in the queue. Or putting my tent up. Or wandering about on the Wednesday Thursday actually. Definitely no rain when the bands are on. And rain would be bad at the night time. And while I'm at it when I'm taking my tent down. And this coming week so the ground is solid. Beyond that it can rain as much as it likes. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sickbird_uk Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Always take wellies... Always. In 15 visits, I think there was only one year when I didn't need them if only for a short time. ( 2010 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in dry(ish) for us to get in, keep it dry(ish) for us to leave. And just don't piddle it down. The weather isn't too bad - its the increase of getting around in the mud that's the pain. Particularly with a damn chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownboundTrain52 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Wish I could be zen about this as everyone else is. My only consolation is that, with last year's conditions and festival being my first Glasto, the only way is up in 2017. (In theory at least.)

mindrobber Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Been every year since 2001 never taken wellies - to restrictive, DMs and water proof socks has served me well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
