yeah...don't worry...will stay away next year...(hopefully)

[steviewevie]

as someone mentioned I think kind of pointless to keep looking from now on...it will likely rain at some point between friday and sunday, but we don't know when. Pack waterproofs and boots/wellies just in case (and if you can). And pack for when/if gets cold too.

The entire thread has been pointless. Monday of festival week and we still dont really know. 

264 pages of utter bollocks.

Forget your fancy charts, the ‘Phil Jones faces’ from many years ago will always be the most useful images to depict the forecasts.

Agreed.

All this walking boot talk.

It's trainers or wellies for me.

It's either dry enough to wear trainers or if it's wet then it's wellies.

Wellies give you the freedom to walk where ever and through whatever the fuck you'd like.

I don't want to be weighing up mud wondering if my walking boots can handle the depth. Fuck that.

Yeah this is me too. 

And I wear Hunters. 

Don't @ me bitches!!!

[FuzzyDunlop]

I see a lot more people stuck with wellies & wellies coming off in mud, than I do with boots.

Maybe it's cos most are in wellies though?

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's cos boots just don't come off in mud. It can't happen.

They have quite the range from walking shoes up to some fairly hefty boots.  I've gone for something in the middle, so should be ok for dancing as well as handling the odd puddle.

If you can remove footwear with your hands without untying anything, then mud can too. Wellies only for weather wetter than we're going to get this year.

Any news from Canada?

I just cannot get away with wellies but the "muddy hands" tying/untying is horrible with walking boots.

I tend to bring some medical gloves for getting boots on and off. Solves the problem!

[AlexOvd]

Such a shit. Packing today with no idea what we will finally get. At this stage the rain looks totally unavoidable though.

Great idea. Straight in my bag now

[briddj]

Some of the Netweather Geeks still think it's up in the air for Saturday and Sunday and it could still turn out nice. The KNIFE. EDGE. is still present.

Mud washes off hands easily.  Wellies that are stuck on are the worst, you can do your hands some injury pulling on those things.

What about Friday? Most of the places still predict rain on that day.
