The weather thread 2021

[Sasperella]

I wouldn't mind the final blow out being wet. Bit of a nightmare packing up in the pissing down rain when your already trying not to vomit...but it definitely would have been worth it. 

Still dry in Glasgow, and a beautiful week ahead 🙂

@deebeedoobee In summary what was each day like... Weds - Mon? 

[WestCountryGirl]

Have really enjoyed your updates @deebeedoobee, thank you! 💖 I hope I wouldn't be singing a different tune next year, but having been watching all of the BBC coverage I genuinely feel right now that I just won't care what the weather has in store next year - just being there will be enough.

But same again as this year wouldn't be unwelcome 🙂

Thank you.  Glad to be of service.  See you in the fields

I am so glad I didn't have to pack up my tent and leave over last night and this morning. Horrible weather.

If the numpty had been alive he would have tried to drink the fukt-ometer for sure.

So sounds like it would have been an in the middle one weather wise. Trudging out today probably would have been the hardest part. At least it wasn't a glorious one being wasted by having none of us there.

Driving home from Pilton at about 2215 last night after welcoming @Superscallyto the finish line was very wet.  A lot of water falling from the skies and a lot of water on the roads.

If we'd been at Fest then it would have been very soggy headliners and late evening that's for sure.....prob similar to The Who in 2007.

[deebeedoobee]

And the sun returned around 9am. Its a beautiful sunny warm day now. The large puddles from last night are disappearing fast.

Last night's run -soggy trainers

Today's run- dry happy feet.

That was brutal - I lucked out majorly with the weather though. Only 9 miles of rough stuff. Thanks so much for coming out!!

Thanks for all the accurate and entertaining updates, it’s been fun. Now you realise the precedent you have set and everyone who is doing the Worthy Pastures camping will be looking for your forecasts !  That’s six weeks of weather reporting! 😉😁

The BBC weather obviously needs a titty Buddha ……oh my bad, they have the beautiful  Carol.

I was going to make a very similar comment in my initial post about our lovely Caledonian Carol but I’m too much of a gentleman to say it😉

I love the weather thread......

 

Only downside to a wet Monday is more losers will leave their shit behind because packing up in the rain is horrible if your feeling ok but if your hanging from partying too hard its soul-destroying.
