Thanks for the weather updates 👍 I see no reason why it shouldn’t be open but as it is now under new management this year they may have other ideas. easy walk…depends what part of the showground you are on. Plus I’m not convinced there is a pavement along the main road, but I could be wrong about that. I suggest you call the pub and ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there was much more focus on how ground was holding up. I remember being hopelessly optimistic that it could recover by Friday / Saturday and then someone on site posted a video of water fountaining out of the ground. 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the ground that was the problem. Yeah, it may well have dried up without the overnight showers + Sunday drizzle, but it was mainly ok other than the mud.

Yes,as the mud began to dry it became thicker and harder to walk on, real welly eating mud. Also the trackways were also covered by it.

Mainly Sunday I think there were two showers, both overnight/early hours of the morning. Then Sunday was mainly sog. It wasn't hot, but I don't remember it being super-cold. @bennyhana22 was rained on more than me - was that it, or was there more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good chance we could end up having solid Thursday - perhaps even Wednesday - through Sunday carnage. Boring posting, 2/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euphoricape Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Met Office only showing fairly small chance of rain for Saturday, pretty much no chance of rain for Friday either.
