Only just signed up to here after lurking for the last few weeks. I'd like to thank you all for contributing to my constant obsession over the weather/state of the ground, you all seem like an absolutely lovely bunch. ?

Is this the first thread to spawn two t-shirt designs?

That turn to camera as it panned round was exquisite. Perfect timing! There's seasoned pros that can't do that

I think roughing it with the rest of the peasants is all part of the experience. Adds to the sense of community or "we're all in this together" I'd reckon

I'm thinking of doing so! Spending my Thursday with a bunch of similarly odd people sounds great to be honest.

Had written that prior to seeing your post. My  mum is on about getting registered and trying to go next year but she'd definitely not do well with the camping experience so she's looking at alternatives

Great stuff, see you all there!?

[sadimmock]

I've just bottled it. I was going to play chicken with the mud and leave the wellies at home. However that seems a little too much like tempting fate. I'm not going to need them though, am i? ?

Can I order a version with the avocado on it avocado ? 

[Penrhos]

Hopefully I've not cursed us - I just picked up some Factor 30 from Aldi to go with some "hard Ground" tent pegs.

Wellies have been packed in CV (To appease the mud gods) but have been relegated to the storage unit under the bed. Hiking boots and Trainers have been cleaned and had an application of NikWax waterproofing. 

All hail the two jars and fir-cone!

If a crazy person wearing two hats comes up to you and starts singing the stick song from Hey Duggee, you'll know who it is!

Oh my word that's brilliant!!!

So happy to see that @deebeedoobee's RAM jar and other important weather measuring tools have been immortalised in T-shirt form, was hoping someone would do it!

Gonna be looking out for you all weekend
