I do admit I did drive through the puddle afterwards... tainting future records I’m sure .. the shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawdusty surfer Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Blimey, this thread has reached 100 pages. Fully expected it to shuffle off and quietly expire at the end of last June. Wish that I had its stamina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosieangel Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I have to say that all I have been thinking about in the wake of all these storms is how the festival ground is holding up and whether this much rain is an ominous sound for the perma-saturation of the ground. My sense is that Somerset hasn't had it that bad compared to, say, the Midlands but there's bad and then there's baaaaaaad. Still, plenty of time to dry off I guess. That and the prospect of snow in the South West next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 How reliable is that conduit system now which I'd guess in circa 18th century? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t they all used to drink weak Ale in those days rather than risk getting all sorts of nasty diseases drinking the water? I’m sure I remember Sir Tony Robinson saying that. Something that is still practiced in certain parts of Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small beer - about 1.5-2% so you can drink it all day, and just about refresh yourself without ever really getting pissed. It means that water doesn’t go stagnant and bad, and can be used for rehydrative purposes as there’s enough grains and yeast to keep it ‘good’. I like this idea, and tend to adopt it at Glastonbury every year - though mine is pints at 4% or rum at nice refreshing amounts, so I remain a lovely level of nice drunk without ever really getting shitted and dealing with a hangover 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least I think so as some memories are a bit hazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madyaker Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I seem to have amazing stamina at glasto as well. At home there is no way I could do 5 all nighters in a row while drinking all day as well but at the festival its no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plot2pot Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 The state of the ground was lovely today during our site visit - we had wellies on but the paths were pretty solid and we could’ve easily coped with boots or maybe even some stiff walking shoes. Photo attached of puddle near Mary’s Gate as a tribute to @deebeedoobee‘s tireless efforts in this thread! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ground would be as bad as 2007 or worse if the fest was on. Water coming through tent doors, the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we have not had much more weather since yesterday I'll probably leave the PM until later in the week. Might see a reduction in the PM by then.
