Hi all.  As you probably know if you're reading this, Ive been doing State Of The Ground Reports on here since 2013. It's been great fun and I like to think that it's kept people informed, usuall

Just been on site to set up camp. The ground was solid, albeit on a relatively high point of the farm. Grass was dry. Nice breeze at the moment and warm sun so that should do some good.  ground condit

Do you still have your 2016 video when it was really squelchy and the grass was kind of like a waterbed? Ive seen people panicking already, just wanted to show that with current state of the ground being good it's a long way off worrisome right now

Someone posted it in the Weather Thread yesterday.  Couple of pages back.

2016 in Avalon crew camping literally had to pitch my tent on what could only be described as a swamp. Now I know it's on most peoples "trying years" list but I had one of my best that year. If the ground is similar this year I am totally blaming it on Coldplay.

Watching it on BBC2 now. Did I really miss all that in 2022. Yeah of course I did - impossible to see everything! Sawdusrty - since '85 mate - amazing!! This is my 30th year - first arrived in 94 - think to myself what can I possibly see and do that I haven't already. Then I kind of remember it's more than that - it's a way of life for me and I reckon most of you frequent fliers on here too. Like the Pope kissing the ground when he lands - I feel the same - I feel at home when I arrive.

Late last night . 

I have apologised to the lady in question about the fish related simile. She's a forum member and neither has any fishy traits nor ,in any way, resembles a fish 

 

 

 

As always James, you are a Legend.  Thank you.
