Ffs. Don't think I can handle a heatwave

Me neither tbf. It’s just such bloody hard work. I’m made out of delicate skin and lobbing spf30 on twice a day gets very boring very quickly. Cloud cover dammit, I want cloud cover, this is England

Bit of a gamble splashing out on kit on the off chance it’s gonna be a scorcher. But a good hat, loose long sleeve lightweight t-shirts and long hiking trousers are actually pretty comfy in very hot weather - and remove the need for any sun cream, unless you put a bit on your hands & face to make sure. 

Obviously it’s not the most stylish choice, so depends what you want to prioritise 😂

I can recommend using p20, gives you protection all day. I used it in 2019 and it was perfect, actually felt like I didn’t feel the heat as much with it on either.

Is it spray on? It looks like it! Now this I like! 
 

@jimmillen you’ve pretty much described my dress style (or ‘style’ 🤣) but I’m of Irish extraction and have the ability to get sunburnt through a T-shirt. It’d almost be impressive if it wasn’t such a crap superhero ability

P20 is the nuts but I just can't bring myself to purchase sun cream this early.  Like crisps (but for different reasons) no more than a couple of days before holiday road.

There’s some serious fate tempting going on on this page… 🤨 Let’s not over do it kids!

I'll be re-proofing my camo Goretex and poncho tomorrow as penance to the Sun God for your flagrancy.  I hope you're all happy with yourselves.

Just caught up with a friend who works for the Environment Agency, specifically in flood prevention. I've asked her to give me a heads-up in the weeks leading up to Glasto and she is on-board.

We’re going to need a name here if we’re going to deify her here.

I can work with this. There’s the implication of spotting overnight, dampening the ground but not the enjoyment

Good to have a record of what the Taunton floodlights look like before Will Smeed takes them down this summer.

This. Apparently my outfit is "very nerdy" but hell, rain or shine and I'm ready. Light and fast dry. Just need a poncho if it goes the wrong way (it won't).

Hopefully all the rain is being used up ha, don’t know what it’s like everywhere else, but up in Yorkshire we seem to be a getting a dose of rain every day nearly, nothing major

[Drinky]

With how hard the ground is we need a decent dose of rain this week (and no later) to soften things up.

Ask and you shall receive. Rain every day for the next 8 days with no end in sight.

It’s average room temperature. If you have a problem with these temps you should go see a doctor.

Correct.  It's probably glandular.
