According to those I spoke to the dealer's supplies never see the gates, it just criminalises the amateurs. Proper shitshow. Despite loving Boomtown I think this is probably my last as all this is just so intensely unpleasant. Just waiting for them to confiscate all my vape stuff now effectively pushing me to smoke, at which point I might explode a bit. Notwithstanding your entirely legitimate feelings on such things, frosty, I was being somewhat tongue in cheek with that original post...! :0) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who were entirely 'wrong' over the last three days (when they showed wet stuff). And who are now entirely accurate (as they only show wet on Sunday. Soon to be revised to none at all). As you were.

Tommy101 Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Loving the positivity Ben. With the lack of rain over the last few months a bit of wet on site shouldn't do much damage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you at Glastonbury in 2016? Still getting flashbacks...! There's a brilliant little video that I search for every now and then. It's from a day or two before the festival, when it's had been constant rain for so long. The water table is SOOOOOO high that this guy is bouncing on a piece of fixed turf that is floating on a 'river' below flowing down towards the site. Ugh! The water table in Hampshire must be lower than since '76. We're gonna be fine...! Ben X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be ready for some dancing by Dub Pistols tho sorted the videos from the weekend now, was far too sober at this point That glasto video of the guy on the water bubble was from the bottom of one of the drainage channels down the field I think, but yeah the ground here is dry a.f. and full of cracks. Any muddiness will be extremely short-lived. TBH after the last few weeks a gig or too in cool rain and a poncho sounds brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first rule of appeasing the weather gods is to take everything needed to survive a force 8 storm, in the sure and certain knowledge that in doing so you will need none of it!
