On site Wednesday, a day in Glastonbury today, climbing the Tor! 

Make sure to stop in a the George and Pilgrims. Fantastic medieval pub. The food is also excellent. Oldest purpose built public house in the south west

I’ll be hoping to get there about 3-ish. Say hi if you spot us, it’ll be me, my wife and toddler in a backpack carrier.

 

Depending how busy it is, we may stay around for food in Glastonbury, if not, will head back to Weston Supermare, where we’re staying the night.

2022 was pretty nippy once the sun had gone in and these temps are looking like they could potentially be a bit lower. So don’t forget to bring extra layers for the evening. 

Yeah, wind would hit and froze people for sure. Got really chilly at macca if you were just standing there a

Wow, it literally couldn’t get any better than that for me (aside from tomorrow temps). This has been the smoothest weather thread year ever - barring a little two day wobble last week.

It’s currently raining in Glasgow, Chris- you made your escape just in time!

The Glasgow weather is the worst. It could at least match Glastonbury - as I'm not going it feels very much like they're rubbing salt into the wound!!

Quick scan of UKV hi res for worst case possible rain prospects:

 

Wednesday: few scattered showers

Thursday: maybe a brief period of light rain on Thursday morning if it doesn't fizzle out before it reaches the site

Friday: few scattered showers

Saturday: heavy rain to the north, might reach us eventually on Saturday night. Again looks brief but could be heavier.

Sunday: UKV run only goes to 120hr

 

Nothing overly concerning - I'll just chuck the cagoule/poncho in the bottom of the bag. Looks like nearly perfect conditions to me on the whole.

For some reason the 18Z didn't run live last night, so no summary there. So, with only THREE reviews to go, let's see what the GFS says.

 

GATES OPEN & WEDNESDAY

 

Completely dry, 21-22.

 

image.thumb.png.692ecf51d2b5aac01c12a8af45009ac4.png

 

Dry, ignore that light blue, highs of 25.

 

Temperatures into Thursday of 15-16.

THURSDAY

 

Dry, highs of 19-20.

 

Temperatures into Friday of 12-13.

FRIDAY

 

Dry, highs of 18-19.

SATURDAY

 

Chance of some very light rain around headliner time, bit more in the Midlands. Highs of 19-20.

 

Temperatures into Sunday of 13-14.

 

image.thumb.png.7fe8afbb8599f083c4ae83c8ca7cdf88.png

 

Pressure marginally not as strong. Latest on the right.

SUNDAY

 

Completely dry, highs of 17-18 - a three degree downgrade on the 18Z.

 

Temperatures into Monday of 13-14.

 

image.thumb.png.8619236766436022edde5141bafffa4c.png

 

Similar picture again, latest on the right.

SUMMARY

 

Another great run, though there is still some uncertainty about the exact facts of Sunday - it could yet be that, as on the 18Z, a little more heat builds in.

 

Looks like we've ... WON?

 

Two more runs to go!

 

 

 

It did run live, just doesn't show on netweather for some reason... It is available on wetterzentrale, much of the same though.... 

This morning's GFS is a little concerning, as the UKMO shows increasing chances of rain Saturday and Sunday too, so they're both somewhat in agreement... But we all knew that, until we were there, predicting the Friday, Saturday and Sunday is next to impossible. Still time for a few couple more ups and downs on the actual weekend itself... 🤞

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
