2016 was the worst mud I've experienced, but 2007 was the worst conditions all round - it was both muddy and raining solidly on your head. 2005 had its issues but (if you camped in a fortunate place) was not on the same level as these two. I wasn't there for 95/98 or earlier. Other medium-mudders were 2004, 2011, 2014, but these are in the lower leagues.
On of my mates came with us in '07, '11 and '16...until last year he'd never been to a dry one! He's not coming this year, but not sure if that is enough to counterbalance coldplay=mud...
I think 2016 was much worse than 2005 - 2005 had the spectacular storm and the tents under three feet of water yeah, but it dried up enough so that sunday we could be lying on the mud again 😁 2016 was such a physical feat, it was almost obscene. Getting out was almost as difficult as getting in, and getting in was a right bastard. Now i work it, i think it could be a bit easier physically, as i'd have no choice but to prioritise resting after a shift, instead of charging around trying to do all of the things.
That said, neither's weather and conditions, please 👍
