Thigh chaffing sounds really interesting.

Honestly. This stuff. Turns your inner thighs into silk, I promise you.

I'm currently slashing my boots with a stanley knife to create the perfect welly/sandal all-terrain combo.

My father in law is years ahead of you there. Still a legend in the family, what a sight.

I think where accuweather usually goes wrong is  exaggerating rainfall amount but since there's none, it must mean that this forecast in indeed completely correct and should be trusted.

Even the Norwegian's are saying it's a dry one and they love forecasting rain.

For the first time in my life, I am not looking forward to Glastonbury.

I will do, and Ill hopefully enjoy it, but an essential part of the festival is being able to see acts. Looking less likely now.

It was 32 degrees Wednesday 2017 and that was seriously hot. There was a huge cheer when the sun finally set among the horizon. Still, would much prefer baking hot than loads of rain! 

I heard if the Thursday that year was as hot as Wednesday, then they were potentially going to pull the plug on it. So many had heat exhaustion due to poor preparation for the heat. 

Let's hope everyone is sensible and wears appropriate clothing and brings plenty of water and sun cream this year! 

Hahaha - how do you think everyone copes at places like Burning Man and Benicassim etc. 

They didn't pull the plug when it was flooded, they definitely wouldn't do it if it was hot.

Mate, so sorry to hear this. I hope you manage well enough to enjoy it.

The fact I cant stand in front of a stage in the heat / sun. I didnt drink or do anything else after Friday in 2010. A featival should just be about enjoying yourself, not having to worry about your health

Won't be anywhere near as warm Sat and Sunday mate - especially Sunday - as it stands.

maybe worth mentioning here that emergency foil blankets (the type they give you after a marathon) either cloths pegged or taped to the outside of your tent can significantly reduce the temperature inside its in the hacks thread but still worth repeating

Did Mad Cool last year and it was still 34/35c at 6pm when we toddled in to see the bands. Slept in a hotel with air con though!

If your thighs don't touch it shouldn't be an issue, but mine are well acquainted ?

Sorry, my message came across a bit blunt. Ah that's terrible! Yeah I completely agree - I hope it cools down a bit for you. I only went in 2017 and the Wednesday was unbearable

It's also annoying to yourself. How can you sleep with that thing rattling around? Seen many people try it then take it down again an hour later.

I am so tempted to question if this is also a problem if someones thighs come into contact with someone else’s thighs, 

but I won’t.

worst case - during the hot hours of the day, flake out in the breeze of flagtopia or one of the cool spots off the railway track, then come down into the centre as the sun sets and enjoy all the evening/night entertainment
