bamber Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Not as dry as March or April, but still dryer than average in May. Less turdy for brown haters at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdusty surfer Posted June 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 On site last night the ground was in just perfect condition. If 1 is totally waterlogged and 10 is totally dry, it was a 4 1/2. Going back this evening and will try and take a few pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could easily make it quite wet/muddy if the rainfall is as predicted. That being said, good to to get the rain out of the way early and hopefully it doesn't persist like it did last year. Thanks for the update, nice to have someone on site checking how things are looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, not to mention the challenge of getting tent pegs into (and out of) rock hard ground. It needs a bit of give - like walking on the sprung floor of a gym is just right.
