The entry to the Park looked like a wellie graveyard in 2011, there were so many lost boots in that area. 

The whole site looked like this though

Yes this is where I think they have improved things massively. The amount of wood chip etc that they put down now means that even in worse weather it doesn't seem to get as bad.

What have been the worst years for weather? I’ve only been a few times and am convinced I’ve seen out the worst years (2005 and 2007). 2005 was actually reasonable by the Sunday. 2007 was unrelenting.

Lies! There’s literally a huge field of grass in the background of this very picture! 😉

Apart from 2011, I think I've been to all the bad ones in the last 25 years - 97,98, 2005,2007 and 2016.  2007 was the worst by far, although 2016 was worse for mud, I wasn't anywhere near as bothered by that as when it kept fucking raining in 2007.

Yep survived all those too - just found these of 2007! The first ones with the green grass was Weds. After that it all went Pete Tong as it were 🙄

Not long until we are visiting Netweather and checking the state of the ground with the local lady, a big dog's paws and a well. Bring it on! 

Sadly Big Dog has left us and made a break for the pearly gates 😥

But fear not the well is still filling and a new weather predictor will be sourced. If a ouija board can be found we may get his masters voice / farty arse again.

Sorry to hear that 😪 He was responsible for giving us the best weather ever last year ☀️. I look forward to hearing how your well is faring up in June.

Ditto 

We've been finding our old camera films and getting them done.. You never know what's on them and we've got LOADS. But it's great fun old sons 

 can't remember the year 97 I reckon but wet mud is better than the sticky mud.. Because with sticky mud you get stuck and slip which makes it more dangerous And then some nut case puts straw down and your boots go from size 9 to size 11 and weight a ton lol

Those were the days old son, one great big fuck off dance tent and lots of mud.

Apocalyptic Thundersnow has just woken up most of Edinburgh. Like a bomb going off.

Same here over on the west coast. Frozen one minute, then heavy rain and now it’s snowing! If you’ve got it and I’ve got it then god knows what it’s like in Shotts and Harthill!

Yep, i thought my roof was falling down.  Lots of low rumbling sounds for a while followed by one huge flash of light and sonic boom.
