Notamurderer Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Yep, whenever I need anything outdoorsy, always worth checking out the 'eternal sale'. Edited June 12, 2019 by Notamurderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still a bunch of similarly specified Berghaus jackets in go outdoors for 40 quid, where the RRP was 110 I believe.https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/s:berghaus+stormcloud/?search=berghaus+stormcloud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotchilidog Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 A quick look at the webcam this morning shows a welcome lightening of the brown on the vehicle paths that got some moisture yesterday. So far it looks like the ground is in good shape to recover from modest rainfall. If we get out of this week in reasonable shape then I am hoping that TWO WEEKS TODAY we shall be greeted by some reassuringly firm ground.

tumbles Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 We've had nowhere near the rain elsewhere in the west country so far. Keep an eye on the Cricket World Cup today as its in Taunton - although Taunton does seem to have its own microclimate like Pilton at times.

Going to watch Somerset over the years I've had the experience of it being beautifully sunny and warm as we come down the M5, just as we go past J24 we see the clouds to the right and know whats coming.

Every step hurting is bad enough, every step hurting trudging through mud would be horrendous so all good news about the site is gratefully received.

That's a bit like if you can see Glastonbury Tor when at the pyramid stage, when the Tor disappears you know you're in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night felt better than the night before but this morning it was worse than yesterday. I can usually walk it off but this morning when I went out it felt like my leg was on fire. Hope the acupuncture works for you. I've had a physio appointment and have bought a tens machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before returning the The Weather Thread. Weather thread is all predictions as you say. At this point I think time is on our side though and the longer it goes with the ground being in decent shape the less of an effect the weather close to or at the time of the festival can have. That's the way I'm choosing to look at it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the speculation in the weather thread even though I'm prone to getting carried away with an extreme forecast but I always return here for a bit of sanity and reassurance from @deebeedoobee's wonderful well widget and jam jar. Either way, the site has appeared to have missed the worst of the weather so far and the forecast for the next two weeks isn't too bad so we're in a reasonably good position at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
