Weather thread 2011

[Morse Code]

I'm a bit worried about that wind on Friday. I will be wearing an 80's style wig for U2 as I believe that to be their best period. Can't see it lasting 2 and a quarter hours!!

Today's weather in the south midlands will do just fine, thank you very muchly!

Hey,

First time posting getting very excited now and watching this thread like a hawk.

Just thought I'd share this website. It shows where the rain is falling / has fallen during the day, seems to be pretty accurate:

....might have been posted before I realise!

Just received a text from someone on site. Apparently the ground is improving. If those on site are careful about how they tread the land then it could be OK. Still dry in Glastonbury [town].

[dirty_dog]

I want to love these people, but what a bunch of tw*ts they turned out to be. Are these the sort of cu*ts I~ want to be hanging out with? It will be OK, deep breaths, deep breaths. Anybody claiming to represent Glastonbury on-line is in no way representative of Glastonbury.

[haznutuk]

do you know anything about a tweet made early this morning that Campervan west is closed? or does that relate to performers and staff only?

[rexclark]

ye I see what you mean, they all seem like really nice people but what a bunch of total gimps.

[jezzer]

Morning all, weather online is looking relatively good.

[strudders]

Don't know but have asked. If I get a sensible response I'll let you know.

[haznutuk]

I've just spoken to an official Festival bod on site who knows nothing about this closing of campervan fields stuff but is going to find out and call me back. I wouldn't have bothered but my office line is now ringing with people asking questions I can't answer. In an alternative reality I am info@glastonbury.co.uk

[haznutuk]

The sun is shining in Glastonbury [town].

[twirlygirl]

weather looking a touch better....getting excited now.

Seems the only didgy days are going to be Wednesday and Monday. I can live with that I think.

Friend who is on site has said that the campervan tweet is balls and should be ignored. If there is any problems it will be on the Glasonbury offical website.

Was onsite Yesterday. The sides of the roads are churned up with plenty of Mud, in place alot. In the fields all green and mainly firm underfoot, great for getting pegs in, much more rain and it'll turn as they had some terrible rain on Saturday, and there is standing water in places. All looks great down there though.

I didn't see anything about the Campervan field, oh and the enterences to the car parks are quite muddy.

Those videos are from 18th - ancient history now. Like the sahara there today apparently - all down to the new super duper drainage.

DO NOT PACK YOUR WELLIES!

[Cooter]

Ok right, got all me stuff packed onto the camper. Off to Tescos in a bit for latest fresh supplies, bit of food prep, load sofa on, then I'm off. Well tomorrow morning 9.30 on the dot. Feels like this thread has gone on forever! I've made a promise to myself not to get inolved on the the weather thread of 2013, that's if I get a ticket.

The bearded messiah is calling folks, let's get there and GET IN!!!!

I've got too much stuff and need the ground to be reasonably hard on wed and mon so I can lug it in on a trolley. Whilst the fest looks ok, I'm dreading getting in and out in the forecasted weather!

[eFestivals]

the West Campervan fields are NOT shut. I've just had the festival office phone me to say so.

Don't believe everything you read on twitter.

[Monkismo]

I know what you mean, I have repacked (again) this morning but I still have a bit too much - its mainly stuff for cooking. So I am hoping for good ground too.
