Are you now running around the perimeter ?

We can't really go round the perimeter as such but will be running down / up Cockmills Lane and around Pylle and East Pennard. I am going round Pylle and the Loop round to Cockmills tommorrow to see what is going on with posh w*nker camping and cv fields.

Don't tell the weirdos in the science thread as there may be trouser eruptions, but we are told that:

1. The Festivals own met people predict a blip before gates but a dry festival.

Also, in contrast

2. Michael thinks it will be wet.

Which proves science is as accurate as a dog, buzzards and rabbit scut.

The festivals own MET people, what a cracking bunch of lads.

Gamblers fallacy in action. To borrow a phrase - there is no pattern.

Also see - conditional probability

Ahh sound. Nothing more reassuring than a ground penetration result.

Have been following these ground reports since before the festival in 2019 (I seem to remember that was quite a wet and cold run up, and we were all shocked at how much the weather turned before the gates opened). 
 

Thought I’d actually make an account on here just to show my appreciation to @deebeedoobee - giving us the data that matters each and every year. Best thread on efestivals!

Morning children
 

“The greatest illusion," said the Diver, "is that life should be perfect.” 

Temperature at 10.04 am is 18.7c and humidity is 70%. See picture dumb arse.

Rainfall in last 24 hours is 0mm. Or in local speak feck all.

 

Water table height in the well is unmeasurable today. Well reads Jurassic World. Dave has made a dry entry.

 

Pilton Pat indicates a light breeze towards Glastonbury Tor and cloud is 4/8 Cu. 

 

Pokey Twins read no.2 on the moist-o-meter. Gargling gravel.
 

Today’s haiku:

Humorous dawning

A holy, moist cow whitters

in spite of the jar

I’m your opinion @deebeedoobee does the chances of a mudbath decrease due to the long run of dry weather we have had even if we get a few days of rain before or during the festival? How does the last few weeks compare to previous years? I am now officially obsessed by weather and ground conditions. Digging my old Geography high school books out lol

This thread does not deal in probability or predictions. I’ll leave that to the scientists. Here is just real time facts.

All I will comment on is my well has been dry for quite sometime now. The water table is not high, unlike in some previous years.

That’s good enough for me @deebeedoobee ☺️
