frostypaw Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 That was an exciting catch up - glad to hear the house is ok. Not the excitement anyone was hoping for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moved here because at the time it was equal distance to both our work places, and we found a wreck we could afford. Festival is a a rather nice bonus. Ahh just wondered really, suppose it’s great not having to camp in the really muddy years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyfaddle Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Just found these photos from 2005 - the Friday after the flash flooding. Love the lonely guy with his pint of Brothers ? By Sunday it was boiling hot and you could sit on the ground. Amazing really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off there tomorrow - as I was in 2016 - it's apparently as bad as then according to reports. Glastonbury will be fine, way better drainage - and they also seem to have doubled up on the tracking!

deebeedoobee Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 The sun is out now and it’s warm. Got a proper sweat on during my run. Not many puddles to dodge either.

timbrass Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 This was taken by a friend today. It's 'drying out'......fingers double crossed. The question is how much drying out time after any rainfall is needed for the Campervan fields to operate....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilton digger Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) the well fills from a conduit system that runs through the village at this end. The well is fed by pipes under next door that run to the well and then the pipes run round the back of the house, under the road and down the hill via other tanks / wells. Ours fills and drains with rainfall, it will be gone in a couple of hours I would expect. It is not ground water levels so no need to declare the apocalypse yet. when I get round to dragging out some of the crap in it, we will have more reliable water levels. That would be after I get on the bloody roof to try (again) to stop it leaking in the same place again. I feckin hate getting on old roofs. 2016 it came up much higher.
