You wouldn't complain about the sun on holiday and for many, Glasto is their holiday Edited June 18, 2017 by kaytee... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who makes several trips to the car are mad, so much more fun to be had than walking to a car and back several times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkic Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Mid twenties isn't even that hot, just a good Summer! Water and sun cream really are the key here. Plus, stay off the booze and hard stuff until later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trout Mask Replica Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 We've all earned this one guys.... Last winter solstice I had my usual fire and little party in the garden. One of the things I do is write down little notes with all of the bad stuff I'd like to purge and cleanse them in the fire. Muddy Glastonbury was one of them and it is looking like the weather gods heard me this time. You can thank me in beer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see 26 degrees on the forecast I'm just terrified! I do hope Gav is wrong about it being higher. Usually they underestimate the temps by a few degrees! My main worry is queuing in it for hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a method of practice of use regularly. I'd never go back to talc now. Try it. Cornflour is leagues above talc. What the he'll have I missed what are you people doing with talc and cornflour?

I'd imagine it will be even easier this year with the additional security measures, those bringing little on the wristband run will breeze past the long queues of people with loads. And then when you go back through the re-entry gate there will be a very small queue as you already have your wristband so it saves time and effort having to carry absolutely everything all at once.

Glasto Weatherwatch Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) What models do AccuWeather use for forecasting? They're showing thunderstorms on Tuesday and Thursday, then rain Friday onwards. Dont believe them, just curious, especially as big fear now is thunderstorms.

Dave_c Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Single trip for me. Nothing could be any more difficult than dragging my garden trolley through the quagmires last year.

They're showing thunderstorms on Tuesday and Thursday, then rain Friday onwards. Not sure what models they use but if you click on those 'rainy' days it reveals 1.0mm of rain. It's a farce to use a rainy cloud to symbolise that. And quite annoying to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Interesting Posted June 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Norway is updating - where I live has updated which is not that far away.. Accuweather may be onto something as suddenly there are showers Stat and Sun but I am waiting for Pilton to come out shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
