Here now and it’s perfect 👌

We are camped by Ped Gate B and it’s lovely and dry and hard to bang a tent peg in.

Sounds good, and it’s great that the workers, staff, medics etc are getting on site and setting up in fine conditions. Should help protect the ground.

I’m seriously considering bringing trainers only and leaving the boots at home.

I think you're in with a good shout of getting away with that.  Conditions during the build have been perfect, very little rain has fallen on the site in the last 6 weeks and there's not likely to be any/much of anything between now and the weekend. Slight chance the damper weather due to arrive the week after might turn up early enough that we get showers Sunday night/Monday morning but things being what they are I think even that is unlikely.

Sounds like we are we going to need a mallet for tent pegs!

One pair of trainers are the only footwear I'm bringing

Up in the Oxfield- needed a mallet 😀

First walk around the site yesterday. It’s very dry and dusty in most places.

There is a massive amount of wood chip over the site though.

Yes, I was surprised how much, West Holts is covered in wood chip.

I spoke to someone yesterday who said when they got on site in May it was very wet.

West holts will be a nightmare for people sitting down.
