Cadski Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Having not been for 2 years just wondering what the weather has been like, Lochlands mentioned mud and I haven't paid much attention to how the weather has been whilst Kendal was on. Has it been bad the last 2 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandohoff Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Due to its location, it’s rare you get 4 days without any rain, that high up in the lakes. Usually gets muddy. Probably had 1/2 years where it hasn’t turned into a pure mud bath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandohoff Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Muddy. Mainstage got cancelled for a period last year. Think it was 1 or 2 songs into sea girls set because of the weather 1 minute ago, Cadski said: I have been lucky, had some good weekends there.

Watched Jonny Marr on a Sunday at Kendal just as the sun set behind the stage , twas the best memory of any festival. That and James opening on the Thursday night one year.

RossendaleR Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 First 24 hours were uncomfortably hot last year but by Saturday night it had turned apocalyptic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadski Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Its hard to be right. When cold you can wrap up. But rain spoils it. Best taking kit like a fisherman in case. We are in a campervan so easier to sit it out but still nothing like laying on the grass, chilling on the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadski Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Dont ever fancy the mud sliding shit though. There was some girl fighting anyone she could in a big mud puddle one year. And people randomly diving on others while covered in mud. Not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to go with this attitude but the rain on Saturday last year made it a real slog getting around Saturday night and Sunday. I ended up missing lots on Saturday and sheltering in the bar. They can’t control the weather but unfortunately it’s nearly always really muddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilko888 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I’ve been 3 times now to the festival each time it’s been very wet and muddy (not complaining) has there ever been a fully dry festival in its history? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 3 years at Lakefest without a drop of rain up till last year where it never stopped. Wash out. Storms and all nearly lost the pop top on campervan.

I only remember one dry and mud free year. Plenty of individual dry days but a days heavy rain during the festival and the ground can’t handle it. Ive witnessed the festival staff doing a brilliant job with wood chipping etc and opening up access to different bits of the site to help people move around. Dont know if the weather in the last few years has just been wetter or if the increasing capacity has made things worse. Possibly a combination of them both 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think 15 was rather damp. 16 can't really remember. 17 not bad, 18 slightly mudbath, 19 ended underwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
