I heard somewhere that in Asia being white is a sign of wealth.. e.g. you're wealthy enough not to live or work outside Perhaps, in contrast to here, where being tanned is a sign that you go on holidays!

Obviously not for use in crowds, but allows you to create your own patch of shade for some relief in quieter parts of the site. I have one for the school run - obviously it’s main purpose is to keep the northern rain off but I’ve often thought it would make a decent sun shelter at a push. it's not forecast to be sunny and hot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not you can still climb into one of the chest freezers and cover yourself with bags of frozen peas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Incognito Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 Speaking of the co op how was the stock? Did it last long? I'm thinking a trip later in the weekend to re-up on mixer, beers etc might be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a bit cold, put another layer on. If its raining, go in a tent. If you are nearly passing out with the heat, there is nowhere at all to go at all. If the heat happens this year (which it doesn't look likely too) I'd check out a spot in the glade... Saturday of 2019 when it was 32 out I found my mate in a k-hole by a tree in the glade and he had somehow found the coldest place on site. They had fans going and a mister of some sort? And the whole thing was mostly shaded. It was down right shocking how hot it was out everytime I left that spot to grab a margarita! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be the same in western countries until fairly recently (historically speaking). Funny how these things change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute shite The only stuff that has worked (and it has actually worked) is kids suncream. Thick gloopy stuff that you cant rub in. Like paint. It has worked, but it's horrible. I do use it, but I still come out a bit pink. 😭 don’t say that I bought some of this yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority managed fine. 2019 and 2010 were about as hot as you would expect in the UK. I coped fine but it does change the way you do the festival and how much it changes it will vary from person to person. If you love hot weather and go abroad regularly you cope just fine. If you normally hide inside when the big yellow ball in the sky appears then it’s more of a challenge because there isn’t that many places to hide from it.Just like 2016 changes it for some more than others.

The F&B ones seem to work with the blackout fabric being the bedroom inner, so thought this could do the trick and stop the blankets flapping in the wind? Be much less effective as reflecting the heat though. F&B have two coatings - the reflective (Fresh) outer coating and the absorbing* inner blackout layer (Black). They do different things, you want your space blanket on the outside. * Absorbing is not the right word, but you get the jist, I hope.

Sure. You absolutely need to prep, the way you would for a wet one. Brace for all eventualities. But a hot one doesn't banjax the ground and render the site into something out of the first world war.

Being able to just sit on the ground makes it worth it for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
