yehbutnobut Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 That is said with love obviously @FuzzyDunlop ...but having nowhere to sit down & rest, walking with what felt like cast iron boots, slow & ridiculous cues to get everywhere, it was very tough. And that's coming from a landscaper very used to mud. Then having to save a poor bloke who's prosthetic leg had come off after getting stuck in the mud in a crowd on the train track, that stayed with me for a few hours after. Don't think it could get much worse tbh... so anything else is a plus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoBalls Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 For me, aside from that super hot set up on the Wednesday, 2017 was pretty perfect weather wise. 2019 weather I struggled with big time, and a lot of that was down to not being able to drink water fast enough to rehydrate properly after a big night. I think partly it was bad luck that the really hot year coincided with the first year of no bottles of water being sold on site and that (in my opinion anyway) the festival had underestimated the number of water points that would be needed, especially in the busy areas - those two things together made it pretty tough going at times.

Think about it, can you really make meaningful change without a hat in the heat? Can you challenge the status quo if it’s raining and your poncho is at home? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than my first time, these remain my faves too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres some areas that are open by food stalls that you could do that and its better than nothing at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
