Definitely looks more cheerful now for Boomtown next week although I imagine the site /build will have suffered somewhat with all this rain in the lead up - similar to G2016. 

Are you going? I wish I was! Mud bath or no mud bath.

The good thing about BT is it is built on chalk. So there is never any depth to the mud. It’s gonna be sunny and marvellous an wobbly and fun , as always.

With the exception of 1985, when I didn't have a tent, and 2005, it seems I've developed an ability to filter out the muddy ones from my memory.

Glastonbury 2007 was the worst festival I've ever endured.

On radio yesterday they were talking about sh*t weather and the weather Chap said it is looking good for next Thursday and Friday, 10th 11th, then probably going down hill again. So looking good for you

 

At my wedding it rained the day before, sunny for the wedding day then pissed it down the day after. That was end of August

yep, I'm praying it improves....if it doesn't it is what it is!

I'm starting to think I may not have been there.

It gets tricky trying to remember/work out. I know I did have a year or two in the 2000's when I had no way in.

Think you would remember 2007, unless your brain is protecting you from it.

Endured, that about sums that year up.  Trudged about trying to enjoy it, didn’t drink much as just didn’t feel like it.

anyway, all the best for the 11th! , going to be nice weather,I’m sure!

I resorted to not being inside my own brain as I couldn't cope with it otherwise.

Hopefully its ok! - two days to go. 🙂

Its not missing. Theres already one festival thats postponed due to the storm. Couple other outdoor events that might be in trouble but we'll see. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Looks like Green Man is having a damp one.

[nikkic]

Took the kids to Camp Bestival yesterday and rained pretty heavy the last few hours. 

First real rain I’ve had at a festival since APE in 2019.

Hurricane, earthquake and other things. Living the life.

Diplo and Chris Rock escaped at least. One person dead though. It flooded in Vegas the last 24 hours too.

How’s everyone handling the dust? I’ve got a bit of a tickly throat. Luckily don’t have asthma to worry about.

I’ve got a car to wash … sunsets and sunrises are stunning though I’m tempted by a walk on the farm
