I’m leaving the wellies at home. Walking boots should do n never brought wellies, never will. always served me well, this will be my 8th on the bounce and as far as I remember it has never rained yet!

My tent broke on Saturday and we had to drive off Sunday night as I had the kids that year and they weren’t strong swimmers. I’m bringing the wellies.

Roasting through the week and cooling down to 20 degrees on Friday. They didn’t mention Saturday or Sunday just to keep us on edge. At this stage we’re laughing.......

SloopJohnB Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Yes....it was pretty grim at weekend, but it’s warmed up a lot throughout today. BBC weather has it dry throughout....Festiweather has it wet....I’m backing the beeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milocat Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 yes BBC have a raindrop - but only 20% chance. Run the map underneath the chart and looks good to me! Also met office similar to BBC (and they are no long the weather providers for BBC) - so I am refusing to look at any others!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty bad, but I had been to T in the Park in 2012 (Look that up) so that was lovely in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Just take wellies and a poncho. It's going to be light rain if anything so it's not the end of the world. I'm sure we've all dealt with worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had some tough weekends at it but I couldn't have handled more than a day trip that year. Stepped off the bus and my feet sunk into the mud and puddles within 20 metres. No amount of alcohol was lifting the spirits. Even inside the tents were swamped. Folk kicking the muddy water over you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came back from just about every T with sunburn regardless of how bad the weather was. Sun would always pop out for an hour or two at some point.

tunstallhill Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 what is it with all these weather apps showing contrasting forecasts? surely they haven't all got their own independent weather stations and forecasting software, which spits out different results? me personally i think its going to be a scorcher from start to finish, based on nothing but good will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
