Wooderson Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 In 1997 I got the shuttle from Castle Cary to Gate B (i think) late enough on the Thursday and was confronted with mudpeople leaving the site. "Haha" I thought. They must have slipped. Poor guys. 20 mins later when I got to the Meeting Point I realised they hadnt slipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvoram Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 You guys must be reading a different netweather thread to me... I'm reading this one https://www.netweather.tv/forum/topic/96872-model-output-discussion-early-summer-and-beyond/page/90/#comments It's very much like here, one or two doom mongers, one or two overly optimistic, with most pointing out that it's too early yet, and the majority of models (outside the heavenly and hellish outliers) are fairly boring and uneventful either way.

4AssedMonkey Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 2016 was fucking awful. Worst one I've been to by a mile weather wise. Then the tent got slashed. Then my OH's wellies started leaking Saturday evening and she burst into tears. Got back to the tent to find the airbed had gone down and had a leak. Packed up about 8pm Saturday and left.

I hitched down, jumped the fence with nothinh more than 60quid and a big bag of weed. Had a blast, hitched back on the the Sunday. Oh to be young again.

One Tonne Baby Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 In 2011 my mate dropped a full can of beer in Shangrila and it instantly disappeared in the mud, and no amount of searching could find it. Some say it's still there and has its own mini worm festival every summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield Steve Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 The GFS model is now out to the Thursday morning. Lots of rain just to our south. All this shows is that there is the potential for a wet one. All to play for… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a search for Jackone's posts on Netweather and he doesn't appear to be that active these days so I'm not that optimistic he'll be doing it. I think GavsWeatherVids will be doing updates bbuyt haven't checked tbh. 25 minutes ago, The Nal said: The don't give him internet access in Broadmoor anymore after he ate one of the prison officers spleens. that does explain his limited posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the hardened few, 2016 was a grim buzz. Brexit weekend in every sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gherkin8r Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 I had a great time in 2016. In fairness I literally couldn't stay on my feet one of the nights due to my consumption of various things and how thick and treacherous the mud was. But all in all it was a good festival in my very humble opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
