The State Of The Ground.

he has been round and eaten some rabbit scut, failed to spot a security guard in high vis walking past until it scared the bejeesus out of him, studied the going and we can say that it is officially good to firm.

This is more like it! 

Great picture and great update!

Its bloody grim up north so delighted Pilton is getting some good weather!

I'll now get back in my box!

Carry on!

Excellent!

Has there been any rain at all today in Pilton?

[pilton digger]

I have been at work but the resident weather witch says it hasn't rained since 0930.

[Tommy Dickfingers]

Glad to hear this because it’s literally hammered it down all day today around mine.

[Divein]

Not only has it chucked it down all day here, I’ve just got in and had to put the heating on.

ITS JUNE.

 

[paulshane]

poured down all day here in bs49 too. windy with it though, so now it's stopped, it's drying out quickly, hoping that the last few days are not going to be repeated before or during the festival!

That’s the craziest thing I’ve heard on here so far, you absolute madman.

I had to do that last night. So wrong.

I live in Basingstoke and yesterday was some of the worst rain I’ve seen in a long time. Was a lot better today tho

 We've done that a couple of times this month.  In February we were sat in the garden.

You're getting Glasto 2007 weather!

[stuartbert two hats]

@Sawdusty Surfer how's the ground on site? Any sign of it being churned up by the vehicles?

[Wurzelcat]

Chucking it down all day in Bristol, only an hour from the site but hopefully better down there

Still green and pleasant.

Very strict instructions not to drive on grass. 

Core crew (esp infrastructure) ahead with the build ATM and things have slowed down a little with unexpected days off. Don't think there is any panic or worry. Weather looking to improve in athree or four days and so I guess then everyone will really crack on.

All good.

No, I've had the heating on tonight and I'm sat here in my Christmas jumper I kid you not. We've never seen scenes like it round these parts!

I'm with you. It's bloody cold out at the moment and as after every walk we come home soaking we've had the heating on for a couple of hours for the last few days.

Been testing my waterproof on the ride to and from the station and it’s spot on. The rain can do one.

i have an issue with producing a lot of moisture so have to have a breathable jacket if I’m walking otherwise I boil in the bag. This is perfect for short rides, and for walking

That looks like the PGC ticket check gate area, at the bottom of the hill of death.. If it really is as dry looking as that then that's great.

I've had heating on since Sunday. Just had to pop in Primark to buy a hoodie to put under my raincoat on the way home it's freezing! 

[Flysheet]

8 deg, howling winds and pouring rain for last 24 hours or more up here in the Pennines...

Its autumnal at best

I'm not in the market for a new jacket having just reproofed mine but that does seem a bit of a steal.....though always a bit suspicious of huge price drops....
