@briddj Just before I go to bed, and before I leave for Glastonbury tomorrow, let me say a big thank you. Not only have you made supreme efforts to keep us all informed here, but you’ve also come up trumps. I think I love you a wee bit.

I was saying to my son earlier that I'd happily take the weather from 09, 10, 13, 15 or 17 again.  On the whole we've been a lucky bunch with the weather over the last decade.  Only one damp one, couple with some mud that affected a day or two, several heatwaves.  This year is for sure shaping up to be a classic what with the weather, all the changes on site and you lovely bunch of people bringing the party.  Cheers for the thread this year folks, it's been a journey.

08 was also fine. Like 09, but not quite as good.

Honestly I'm so on board with a cooler 20 degrees wednesday. I got major heatstroke as I'm sure did a few people in 2017 and it knocked me out for not only the whole day but Thursday morning too. 

I fell asleep on a long drop not sure if that was with the heat or the alcohol though......

And you?

Im in Rochdale, but my family are from Royton. So the other side of Oldham.

I was up at the white hart for a meal last week, nice area. That might be more springhead than Saddleworth though?

Amazing forum, amazing thread, amazing people. Thanks so much for all the effort by those in the know here, it's been truly emotional reading this year... The out of office turned on, that's me all packed up, tucked in and more or less ready to fook off super early to our favourite place. See you on the inside! xx

I know a few people in Delph. I am a latics season ticket holder, so I know a few.

Buersil isnt really near me now, but I know where you mean. Strangely, Ive talked to random people from Rochdale / Oldham at a few festivals over the years.

Small(ish) world. I’m a comer inner, only been here 6 years, from Rotherham originally so we’ll have been at the same matches, same festivals and I know a few Latics lads as well so chances are they might be the same!

[Wurzelcat]

I'm stewarding so I'm on site right now and it's raining. Bastards! Luckily most of us are in our tents and it's pretty light so we'll get away with it

[Cooter]

It's raining onsite now but sort of inbetween light and heavy so nothing major. And hopefully the sun will dry it all out in the morning, no worries.

[frostypaw]

Looks like you've a bit more to come on the radar, a little ground softener before the action. I'd be very impressed if we got enough to make any real difference.

[Avalon_Fields]

It’s 02:48 and the predicted rain has woken me up! So I might as well report it in. There’s dedication for you!

I can't sleep so have got up to make sandwiches for the drive down in the camper tomorrow ?

[4AssedMonkey]

Another insomniac here. Mine’s just pure excitement. I’m 44 FFS, will I never grow up?

[Plume]

My new favourite thing to do is be awake hours before I need to 

[Nutella Versace]

Can't sleep. Has Santa been yet?

[Avalon_Fields]

I’m back awake again, if anyone really wants to know the rain has stopped. Don’t think it was ever that heavy.

We all want to know.

Every single seemingly irrelevant detail!

 

[Duggyfresh44]

Three hours of work to do then im heading down to Bristol for the coach tomorrow. This weather thread has been epic, with the added cherry of a happy ending.

Have an amazing time everyone!

We’re all mad! So it’s not lovely right now but the amount of overnight rain won’t be a real problem 

[dotdash79]

Purposely set my alarm early to ensure I’m tired for tonight and tomorrow’s early set off isn’t too much of a shock. Glad to see I’ve stumbled into the early morning weather club.

Given the forecasts just a week ago, and what we’ve got now, I think we can handle this. A day drying out in time for the masses to arrive tomorrow and everything will be fine.
