In the bag I've got undies & socks, one pair of shorts, 6 tshirts, a hoody and a waterproof jacket and a pair of trainers, plus what I'm wearing on the way down (inc walking boots). Pair of gaiters in the bag as well if the mud's bad. Most of my packing is taken up by the actual camping gear. How long do you think me and the mrs are going 🤣🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect Wed/Thurs, dry Fri (except overnight) and no rain on Sat/Sun, or at least no confidence of any. Friday-Sunday could still go either way.

steviewevie Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I just chucked a bunch of stuff in without really thinking about it. Couldn't tell you how many tshirts, pants or socks I have in there. But I do have a pair of trousers, shorts that I will wear, fleece, windproof jacket, full waterproofs plus a poncho. Wearing boots in, taking trainers. Don't own any wellies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaytee... Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I've packed and unpacked too many times today. Need to decide on docs or wellies but don't think it'll matter when my bag breaks my back on the way in 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexOvd Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I guess the common opinion here is even though it will get cold in the weekend don't take long trousers but shorts all the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold is relative. Most people's legs will cope with the temperatures forecast with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearing boots in, taking trainers. Don't own any wellies. My backpack looked huge but contains alcohol (8 large cans and a litre of spirits), t-shirts and undies for six days, two thickish hoodies, a waterproof jacket, my sleeping mat, extra pair of shorts, my day bag, power banks, wash bag, travel johns, and tent pegs for two tents. I’ll be carrying that and two pop up tents in with me. Heavy af but only needs to be done once and will be lighter on the way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. I don't think I've ever bothered with more than shorts tbh. So long as I have a hoody or similar to keep the top warm, my legs tend to be fine.

MrCooky Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I've been looking at the Met Office as my main point of reference for the weather and they've just updated for Fri-Sun. When they say "showers" I'm not sure if that's enough to wear a hoodie and tracksuits or if it's worth having waterproofs because it's meant to be all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be on and off spurts here and there. Showers won’t refer to constant, prolonged rain. Edited June 20, 2022 by jparx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Never worn long trousers at a festival. Keep your core warm and you’re fine. Plus shorts down get dragged through ankle deep mud.

MrCooky Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I suppose the best outlook now that rain is pretty much confirmed for the main music days is that it's not heavy. No chance of the place becoming a mud bath with how dry the ground will be in the days beforehand. Just got to back a decent hoodie or maybe a waterproof.

The low could yet be positioned just to the west and stay in that position, meaning we have weather systems ploughing in one after another. Sorry to have such a negative point but it's true all the same. Let's hope not! Edited June 20, 2022 by briddj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolygonWindow Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 And also - a poster put in here it’s under 20mm. Yr have it as ~10. it’ll be ok. I think it seems worse than what it is bcos Metoffice are spamming every time with showers bcos they can’t work out when it’s gonna hit.

steviewevie Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 From current BBC forecast on TV looks like we'll get a band of rain, that could be heavy, moving through Friday night into Saturday. Rest of time it would be showers, but quite windy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
