Sorry man, I feel your pain! Took 3 of us 4 attempts to get our 1 trolley up that slope. I have the occasional Iraq war style fever dream about in this day! (You weren’t there man, you don’t know!)

We arrived at PGA to find it was temporarily closed and were routed up to PGD. Rain, mud and that slippery slope you describe. But, all of us made it in one piece and in decent shape, a little damp, but pretty clean. All bar one of our particularly clumsy mates who sauntered up behind us, covered from head to toe in mud. Claimed someone with a pram tripped him, to which one of my other mates replied, yeah yeah, blame it on the buggy! That’s my overriding memory of the whole trip in on Wednesday in 2011. Laughing our asses off as we went through the gates.

Or technically... the correct Glastonbury is... Pilton!  LOL! 

 

Sometimes the Glastonbury and Pilton forecasts actually differ, and Pilton is of course closer, so that's the one I go to on the BBC site.

 If people accidentally get the Pilton, Devon forecast could they let me know how my lawn will cope while I'm away?

Lots of runs looking to bring that low closer. Knife edge stuff

It'd be so ridiculous to give us one week of half decent weather then back to below monthly norm.

 

Never had a start to summer like it, it's July and like we've not even begun.

Blame it on the Buggy is class. Although I remember there were more than one pram, a few wheeled suitcases and a guy in cowboy boots, short sleeve shirt, no jacket and jeans who was soaked beyond belief. Carnage.

I'm preparing myself for tomorrow mornings horror run. Every morning this week has been a shower of shite, followed by later runs bringing the goods.

 

Doesn't the 00z run use a different set of parameters to the others? I think they are all different but it's the 00z that is usually an outlier compared to the rest

there's sometimes a weather station on the pyramid, and you can get its readings at weather underground. i just had a search for it, and its not there at the moment. it'll probably get installed soon, cos they need to monitor windspeed for various stuff. if it get installed, you can use it for a super mega-local  forecast, because weather underground will do that for you. combining the weather station data with the general data that all the forecasters use.

At least we can now be more confident that the build will be completed in dry conditions so less chance of a 2016 style churn up. 

 

I think this is key - if it tips it down on Saturday night I'm not too arsed if we've had decent conditions up to then

Can I just say I do not want it to tip down on Saturday night. That talk is madness. I am arsed.

I have put my wellies back in the cupboard! Hurrah! 

The last year I didn't take wellies was 2005, this was the result,

Weather had been great, the forecast was great except for one day of potential rain, in my cocky frame of mind I thought "one day of rain can't do much" In the event it wasn't even a full day of rain just about 20 hours of monsoon like downpours, lessons were learned.

I don't either but if there's rain, I definitely want it at the arse end of the festival. It's relentless muddy days that grind me down, I can cope with one!

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
