Boots or wellies ? 

Possibly the only argument on here that goes on longer than Foals or The 1975

And the correct answer this year was of course, trainers.

My running shoes are covered in Glastonbury Mud from Sunday  The stone circle was quite soggy, one chap lost his shoe in it as he ran up!! 

My run last night was powered by the mud on my shoes still. Brilliant! 

 

Can you just walk round the site then? If I’m ever down there it would be nice to see with nothing there

Probably the result of my 750 runners on Sunday.  Its winter, mud and puddles happen, its normal. 

Much like the crane getting more developed each year, will lucyginger's shoes join big dog, big stick, jam jars and avocados for next year's forecast?

yes .. the official line is stick to the footpaths ... the polite thing is also to stick your head in the festival office and remember its a working farm

I'm not sure Lucy's shoes are good for Big dog's sensitive nose ( sorry Lucy ?)

On reflection I know what he puts his nose into...

Plans for 2020 are top secret ???

Bang on.

Although I remember wandering around SE corner on the Wednesday night and I must have found the only wet patch in the entire festival. Walking along chatting to my mate and next thing I know I’ve lost a shoe to the mud. Unfortunately this was the early hours of the morning so had a wet foot for the rest of the night.

Plans should include the Mary’s gate puddle. That doesn’t rely on canine idiosyncrasies

Not looking great team...

 

I've seen images of the full Pyramid stage (not just the bare bones of it like here), taken in the winter. I thought the whole structure was permanent.

Worthy Farm clay is indestructible - it sticks, it stains and it behaves like the modeling clay used to make Morph.

Is this true @morph100? Are you Worthy Farm incarnate?

There's no such thing as bad weather - just inappropriate clothing.

So does 2007!

EDIT: It's a midsummer festival, not a hike up Ben Nevis in winter!

Don’t tell anyone, it’s how I can get tickets every year and it’s how I know the headliners are Taylor Swift, Kendrick and Arctic Monkeys.....

I was there in 2007 and I admit the choice of clothing wouldn't have made any difference.  Where you camped did, however, make a big difference.

Yeah there was one path (I think from the side of the Common up to the old railway?) which was absolutely sodden for the entire festival, even on Sunday night. None of my group could work out how or why such a specific area was staying so wet
