A lot of damage had already been done by vehicles. We need two things to prevent a mudbath - minimal rain during the festival, and Dee's well to stay empty.

gigpusher Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 It's still looking ok by mid next week so the ground should be ok with a bit of rain if the temperatures stay as they are it should dry out. Might even help the ground not to be too hard for people putting up tents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curlygirl Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 It’s beautifully sunny up in Seaham. I’d rather it bucketed down for the next week. I actually don’t mind the mud, it’s the wet stuff falling when I’m there that I don’t like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don’t mind the mud, it’s the wet stuff falling when I’m there that I don’t like. Yeah, absolutely beautiful just up the road in Sunderland. Nice and Sunny and just the right kind of temperature that would be great for Glasto. I honestly couldn't take a full week like the Wednesday in 2017. I've never felt temperatures like that in this country before. It's never that hot in the north east? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived on the south coast for 10 years and wore thermals when I moved back here! Mind, walking out of my front door this morning was like walking off an aeroplane, the hot air was just beautiful!

jparx Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 It's all about dry ground for me. I don't mind random showers at all, but if I can't sit down all weekend it does my head in. Hot weather with intermittent showers is fine! That being said, 2016 was the best time I've had at the festival, so any weather can be overcome!

I think I'll see how the forecast/weather leading up is and then bring one of those little fishing tripod seat things if things are looking bad.
