It's time for the important questions! Came here to ask exactly this. Except I have Buckfast, which I really begrudge drinking from anything that isn't the bottle.

Pembridged Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 No need to decant entering the campsite, normally dont need to for the main arena either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that they don't have a time or stage that concerns me - if the delay is because of transport trouble that's fair enough, but there's not really potential gaps in the Friday schedule (and the Weddoes were asked at 1pm according to David Gedge's Twitter so they knew well before the announcement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where that leaves Steve Mason, or if the schedule has changed altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it's for digestion issues) Yes. I’ve done about 5 low FODmap festivals now and it’s tough. I’m also vegi and gluten and dairy free so eating out is a pain. I can’t offer much advice as everyone has slightly different needs, but I just wanted to pop up and say hello and ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Green Man Records tent. Doesn't have much stock in comparison to Rough Trade but has loads of performances today. Pretty much one an hour from 1pm to 8pm I think.

I don't remember it being that much different in 2014. There does seems to be more people though. I popped back to the tent last night and spoke to a women who had been wandering around for an hour trying to find a spot to camp. Good luck to anyone coming today.

Chai wallah and cinedrome is now located where the green man used to be. Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually sad it's become a proper big stage now, Used to love that area, felt really intimate and was almost hidden away. Hope the rest of the weekend's weather holds out for anyone going. I drove past the site on Wednesday and I was gutted I wasn't going this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can deal with the rain, but those gust predictions are still perilously close to the restrictions GM have set for stage/site closures through Fri/Sat/Sun afternoons (dropping off slightly for the evenings, by the look of it). Let's hope those hills work their magic and keep us sheltered! How nice was it to wake up to sun! Should sort out the mud. Today and tomorrow are ‘moderate breezes’ so zero chance of site closures, which was always a massive stretch - it was last weekend that had the extreme weather.
