Almost all of the muddy patches can be walked around. Plenty of people are wearing trainers.

Still wouldn't wear your best trainers though!

 

It'll be my gardening trainers for sure.

Outside JP tent. As others have said, unless you're really spangled you'll be able to walk around the odd bit of standing water (and theres not much of it). It's been overcast and muggy so not the best ground drying weather. Reckon it'll be hard as nails by Thursday.

If that's as bad as it gets then I'm risking trainers!

Thank you to everyone who has posted pictures, you're all awesome. Have an amazing festival and see you at the meet!

Is that the new Block 9?

Thanks for all the updates. Is it still raining on site and is the ground holding up? I’m still persisting trainers only for tomorrow.

Daily Fail trying to make out it's a mud bath already with some select photos below:

Daily Fail can do one. This is the croosroads at the entrance to The Park now. Not quite the mud fest the last photo makes out.

Hasn't rained solidly since around 8 this morning. Spat a bit about an hour ago.

Sounds grand. Hopefully the lack of rain over the next 12 hours can help to dry that Park entrance and other bits on site before we all descend on it.

Dry grass and beautiful scenes at the Stone Circle

Total agree they can do one, as they have being trying to say all week it will be a wash out with heavy rain - such nonsense as usual

You have clarified where the picture was taken for me as just couldn't figure it out - so cheers for that

Have a great festival  (I'm unfortunately watching from home as ticket god were not kind this year  )

Been sitting at the cider bus a large part of this evening. Cheers everyone!

What a lovely photo, I don't know you personally, I can't get there until Thursday so cant meet up at the efests meet, but its lovely to put faces to (made up) names. Little bit jealous tonight I must say. Might see you over the weekend...

Morning all. Rain overnight but it has only affected the top inch of the ground. Rain now stopped and it's brightening up. 

Nothing to worry about.

One more sleep to go.

It's going to be the best one yet

 

Sorry about the poor framing of the vid.

Love your posts Sawdusty this year and from prior years. Would you object to me offering you a warm can of Stella (I suspect you have higher standards?!) when I pass your pad you over the weekend as a thanks for all your wonderful insights into whats going on pre gates opening over the past few years?

[dazednconfused]

Lovelies of people, I am signing off. I really do hope to make it past the efests meet tomorrow. @deebeedoobee Thanks for the T-shirt inspiration. @Sawdusty Surfer Thanks for the thread! Hopefully see you in the field over the next 5 days!

Cider Bus looks inviting. Getting 3 hours shut eye then driving to brown around 2am. Who knows, may even find a place to camp on the North side of the valley...

Seen you at the meet.
