I did 2016 with a broken toe. Getting through the mud in heavy boots felt like I had trench foot by the time I got home. I also think the factor that made 2016 so bad for some was how long it took us to get in. I left my house just before 2pm on Tuesday and didn't get in to the CV field until nearly 6am in the morning meant I was shattered from the off.

Ouch you too. 

It's gone a bit 4 Yorkshire men 🙂

Nah, we came on the Wednesday, coach got to the site by around 11am and it was pissing it hard, I vividly remember me and my girlfriend looking out of the coach window as the heavens opened and talking about how we hoped it would blow over quickly. It was definitely the Wednesday, I have only ever gone to the festival on the Wednesday. And I'm not confusing it with another year as 2007 was the only year I've taken a coach.

Wednesday was absolutely beautiful in 07. Thursday morning too. Started raining late afternoon on the Thursday and didnt stop.

Ouch that does sound like hard work with a broken toe that year of all years.

We were on a coach and had to go from Gate A right to the furthest corner of the festival near Gate D to find somewhere to camp. We got in as the fireworks started.
