Gonna be looking out for you all weekend Haha same. And then if I spot it I will inevitably not actually speak to you but probably tell someone I'm with much to bemused looks.

Especially @Sawdusty Surfer and @deebeedoobee though for starting it all. (And Big Dog of course) now let’s get ourselves to those blessed and very dry fields...

Michael owns the house just outside the fence. Whether they return home of a night I have no idea. But if they do they would surely have a land rover to drive them there. @deebeedoobee I know the Jam and Gherkin Jars are vital to showing how dry it has been, but are you not leaving it a bit late for your infusions, although Werthers only takes 24 hours.

deebeedoobee Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Good morning peeps. Just 2 more updates and we are in ! today’s update is: RAM jam jar = 20mm. No decrease/increase in 24hours. Gherkin = empty. thermometer reading 19c well Sticky stick = well is dry. The mud negligible. I tried to push it into the base and nearly snapped the stick. Measured 1 inch of dirt. Big Dog’s paws= dry and currently twitching as he is dreaming on the sofa. Probably chasing those tractors again. 1 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DareToDibble Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 We’ve all said about being there for the first year of Pangea and being excited to see how that progresses over the years. Personally I’m more honoured to have been here for the first year of the Ram Jam Jar, Sticky Stick and Big Dog weather monitoring. Imagine where THAT system will be in a few years. We can but thank you @deebeedoobee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tibetan shirts and pantaloons then if you are shopping in the high street. Don’t forget to pick up your witches cauldron and sage smudge ? Seriously, Clark’s factory village is next door and they have mountain horehouse, tog 24, trespass etc for discounted camping kit plus loads of clothes stores.

When returning from the tor go into the riflemans pub. Fine boozer that is where you will drink along side druids and scruffy dogs on string. the King Arthur is my favourite Glastonbury pub. Great cider in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdusty surfer Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Morning all, no rain overnight. Ground is getting firmer all the time. No sign of any mud anywhere . In the unlikely event that anyone is still stressing about a possible mud fest don't worry, it really is going to be fine. Two sleeps to go.

Skoo Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thanks @Sawdusty Surfer I feel like I owe both you and @deebeedoobee a drink. Without this thread it would have been a much more stressful build up, the weather thread was terrifying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
