These photos just prove what absolute troopers we all are. It looks really hideous now in these, but we were still all having an awesome time!

You have done your time ! Now you get burning sun for the whole festival as pay back for you dedication

Can't find my old Glasto images. No longer on Facebook but I have got this old montage image. Only one of the three is from Glasto, two on the left is from Leeds but you can see the mix of glorious sunshine and ankle deep mud.

We still managed to fuckin' dance though!!

This year will be glorious. I can feel it in my bones

 

[Trout Mask Replica]

Let's face it, it's proper gutting to see the green glory turn to brown. 

Its just a much more cheerful place when dry the ground is good.

Other stage, Sunday 

This was the worst that I saw, id actually never encountered mud of that consistency before in my life. It was literally like wet cement.

[Bisque]

Sloppy mud last year by the Other bar/merch whatever day The 1975 were on.

 

The other right hand side of the field was a lot thicker around the walkways.

I've never known mud like we had last year!!! It was like being on Planet Mud. My legs were screaming by the Saturday. No let up with very little areas to sit down and the rest the legs.

Bin liners are essential for a muddy festival, turns a muddy spot into a resting place, saved me a few times last year.

And cider

[jennilily]

last year was my first glasto and I was on my own.   I will absolutely never forget the walk to oxlyers in that mud after 12 hours (should have been 3/4) dragging my properly rubbish trolley getting redder and redder in the face I really thought what on earth am I doing?! However its really random how quickly in such an amazing place full of like minded people you adjust to situations that you would normally run a mile from! After a few hours I can honestly say it didn't really bother me - with the exception of when my welly got stuck in the mud in Shangri-La and I fell - not a pretty sight haha!!!

I figure that after last year I could cope with any weather!!

Cider should be on an intravenous drip fitted at the same time as your festival wristbands

Think this was taken Saturday on the walk between Pyramid towards Leftfield last year. Remember it taking a lot longer than usual because everyone was confined to using the walkway to avoid sinking

Baptism of fire!

 

Just think, if you enjoyed it at its worst, then think how much you'll love it if it's dry

Splendid news. Sounds so much better than this time last year!!

[Smeble]

Ok I'm far enough away to have completely different weather to the site but it's been stonking down here today, even yesterday that was supposed to be mostly wet was actually pretty good and we even missed the storm that submerged Yeovil, they just need to move the festival to crewkerne and all will be good.
