Oh no, nightmare. Out of interest how did that go down, did it cause any bother or did you just laugh it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real regret in hindsight though, other than missing ELO. ELO looked and sounded abysmal. 16 was great fun. Trick is to hit the booze after breakfast and keep moving. Looked at it again recently and think I saw close to 30 acts in 2016 all in. Barely rained during the day which is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just laughed it off...was nothing I could do about it.....I met one of my other mates afterwards at The Glade...he had been watching James Blake on West Holts and he sorted me out a bit!

briddj Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 It's just far too early for all this. I'll be along with my obsessive comparison of the models in about a week. For now, it's completely pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked back at the line up and think I saw about 9! I'd forgotten that I was planning on seeing PJ Harvey, then Earth Wind & Fire on the Sunday. I am a bit gutted now in hindsight.

Some funny moments from the mud if anything (do appreciate though that mud is probably not so funny if you've got any kind of mobility issue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree one of my favourite festivals, saw way more than in 2019 when it was so hot I basically sat in the spike for half of Saturday to get some shade then watch various rubbish on the other stage. To be fair Friday had been a big one and I may not have been much more active in a sensible temperature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least post the full report for Wednesday 22 june, it's literally two lines "Wednesday 22 Jun - Wednesday 6 Jul Lower confidence for this period. Perhaps a weak signal for above average rainfall at first, but rainfall and temperatures looking to be closer to normal as we head into July" Weak attempt, you can do much better.

I posted the important bits. More unsettled in the period up the the start of the festival and then above average rainfall at the start of the next period - which is Glasto week.

kingmonkey1980 Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 2011 was glorious compared to 2016. I’m still mentally scarred from the Saturday night at Shangri-La and the whole Sunday. Someone said the mud swallowed a wrap of MDMA in 2011, it swallowed my mates welly on the Saturday night in 2016! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting up the tent in the rain on Wednesday and then rain constantly from Friday afternooon to Saturday afternoon. The SE corner was unwalkable for most of the weekend. Never seen mud like it. Was freezing aswell for a lot of it. 2016 really didnt rain at all during the day apart from a bit here and there. On Sunday mainly I think.
