The State Of The Ground.

[LadyP]

Small contribution to thank you all for this fabulously heartwarming thread:

been on site since 4pm, ground on arrival was soft (damp arse if you sit for a while gazing at the pyramid) and some sticky / sloppy bits in high traffic areas but generally very good.

we had some rain for a time at midnight-ish, enough to make me take cover, and it’s made some areas (particularly south east corner) a bit sloppy but it’s now warm with a nice light breeze so should dry up soon!

I was in walking boots and the guys I was with were both in trainers and apart from some of the trackways being a bit sloppy with light surface mud we managed just fine.

Gut feeling? Vintage year! 

See you all tomorrow ?

Obviously im not through the gates but it's fine in the campervan field. If we'd not had that rain on Monday night it'd be perfect. Temperature is mild, plenty of cloud cover. Nice breeze.

Pictures of Michael opening the gates and he's in sandals so looks like it's still in good condition

Thanks to all who’ve contributed to this thread, brilliant stuff! Just arriving at Victoria now for midday coach - see you all at the farm later!! ?

Site conditions are good. No problem for docs and any muddy bits can be stepped over. Piece of piss getting pegs in.

Cheeky breeze tho

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. 

 

the more the DM tells the masses that it's muddy, the better IMO, less precious luvvlies wanting to get tickets to see 3 acts at the Pyramid, the better!

Anyone who worries that the clientele of the  festival are getting too old should see our coach. The age gap between us and the others is sufficient that we look like supply teachers on a trip. 

Journey just started and excitement levels are at fever pitch.

We should all pour loads of water on isolated patches of ground by our tents and spread the pictures all over Twitter.

I think I must be the oldest on my coach by about 30+ years. Everybody's in great spirits.

Long lush grass everywhere. Few easily avoidable mud patches. 

Have an amazing festival everyone.

Ha - same on my coach! Glad it’s not just me who is very much feeling like the de facto “Responsible Adult” right now!

Dry as fuck on the N side. Even Muddy Lane isnt, well, muddy.

Tickets just being handed out, it's like father Christmas is here ?

[themuel]

I’m in flip flops

In E15. Campervan level, awning pitched, beer open, brew, well, brewing. No mud. Tent pegs go in with sturdy foot. It's awesome. Welcome home everyone and here's to an amazing festival. Love to all! 

[Pinhead]

Sun is out. Struggling to find any mud. Brothers in hand.

[semmtexx]

Plus there's a lovely breeze drying everything out and blowing the clouds away - sun is on its way!

Looks like some rain is heading over, but it looks like a really small amount. Might miss the site entirely. Certainly not enough to disrupt the ground.
