Sorry to hijack the thread but do you know if the Prestleigh Inn is open during festival and is it an easy walk from showground, thanks . 

Thanks for the weather updates 👍

I see no reason why it shouldn’t be open but as it is now under new management this year they may have other ideas.

easy walk…depends what part of the showground you are on. Plus I’m not convinced there is a pavement along the main road, but I could be wrong about that. I suggest you call the pub and ask.

Funnily enough while the weekend before was torrential, the Thursday - Sunday forecast wasn’t too bad. So there was much more focus on how ground was holding up. 
 

I remember being hopelessly optimistic that it could recover by Friday / Saturday and then someone on site posted a video of water fountaining out of the ground. 😂😂😂

We’ll use the one thing we’ve got more of, that’s our mud

The weather wasn't that bad in the 2016 festival. It was the ground that was the problem. Yeah, it may well have dried up without the overnight showers + Sunday drizzle, but it was mainly ok other than the mud.

This is very true, it didn’t actually rain that much during the festival did it? Mainly Sunday

Yes,as the mud began to dry it became thicker and harder to walk on, real welly eating mud. Also the trackways were also covered by it.

I think there were two showers, both overnight/early hours of the morning. Then Sunday was mainly sog.  It wasn't hot, but I don't remember it being super-cold.

@bennyhana22 was rained on more than me - was that it, or was there more?

It absolutely shat it down on Wednesday morning - I remember the Festival advising anybody who had not yet set off yet to delay their journey while they tried to deal with the carnage.

Honestly don't be surprised if that low continues to pull earlier and earlier.  Good chance we could end up having solid Thursday - perhaps even Wednesday - through Sunday carnage. 

Boring posting, 2/10

I have a memory of it lashing down on the Friday afternoon of 2016, during Dhakabraka on West Holts

[steviewevie]

I remember there was a time when I went to Glastonbury without knowing what the weather would be like. Maybe we have too much data?

[Euphoricape]

Met Office only showing fairly small chance of rain for Saturday, pretty much no chance of rain for Friday either. Surely Met office is one of the most reliable sources?

[steviewevie]

Saying that I wish I'd known the forecast before going in 97/98.

Sadly anything to do with this government doesn’t have a great record of being very reliable!

I've just added an extra pair of long leggings to my packing and re-re-waterproofed my cagoule. Is the high fighting back yet yet?
