They just slid in with a few gentle taps of a rubber mallet. Withdrawal was so smooth and easy leaving a thin film of moist mud on the full length. 

Absolute filth. Sign me up.

we worked in a thread started by @Funkyfairy!last year - How is the ground on site ?

in case you didn't know, Big Dog got mentions but he sadly shuffled off previously.

Not an upvote as such, but you know what I mean. Spirit animal of the thread ❤️

I'm willing to stand corrected but I could swear we've had a terrible first 5 months weather so far this year.

the ground will be fine this year, its only very very bad when its rained non-stop since xmas, this year hasn't had much rain.

Wettest March since '81 and third wettest on record. Blimmin felt like it here as well!

I'm sure that it'll be OK though.

even so there's been nothing like the amount of rain since xmas that they're's been in the muddiest years.in those years the ground was fully waterlogged before any rain fell on the festival.
