A game changer if you thrive on a case of the betty swollocks

Only if it’s warm. 
wet and warm = shorts

wet and cold = over trousers

It’s perfect festival weather here in Frome today. Warm but with a few clouds in the sky and a gentle breeze.

Niet. Shorts regardless. 

[DareToDibble]

Sun = Shorts

Rain = Shorts

Hot = Shorts

Cold = Shorts

 

This is the way.

Do you live in Clapham?

I've never even taken long trousers of any sort to the farm.

I’ve considered it … something ideally I’d like to avoid having to carry 

My husband (has cerebral palsy so similarly needs to take the weight off his feet regularly) takes a shooting stick, which packs up very small and light (smaller than a telescopic stool IMO)

Watford. 

[MrsRookin]

I’m not even going this year - failed on ticket day, which is actually a blessing as my mental health has been in the bin with a recent four month admission and ongoing ECT treatment now, so would never have been able to go…

 

HOWEVER somehow I am still drawn to the weather thread, and am rooting for you all to have the most gloriously dry but not-too-hot festival. Hopefully I’ll be back next time, with my eldest kiddo ready to experience his first Glasto ❤️

20c in West Yorkshire, light breeze, utterly perfect.

Don't look at the BBC weather page for PIlton next weekend right now.

 

No. Really. Don't. I'm upset now.

 

Could swear it looked glorious a couple of days ago.

Almost always very good. Sometimes hard to get to a mobility platform at headliner time, but generally fine. Had one incident when a lad was showing off to his mates and jumped on the back. I think he was trying to force me to do a wheelie, but flipped the whole thing backwards. His mates absolutely ripped him a new one and made sure that I was OK.

 

I had a colleague a few years back whose girlfriend used something similar. I remember him saying she had to deal with the occasional dickhead jumping on it which could be pretty scary at times. Generally though it was the constant 'gis a lift' comments. Good natured and all but it got old VERY quickly.

Simon used to do the Cabaret tent, but I think it's been a few years since he's been on.

I did the very same thing about an hour ago. Mistake.

 

Thankfully I won't believe anything until about Monday. I have ordered some ponchos just incase though.

Thanks. I'm getting to the stage where I'm finding it tough to get around and was considering purchasing one.

It's a game changer. Happy for you to have a look - are you camping in Spring Ground?
