Selective memory helps me to remember only the good times! 

 

In all seriousness, photos of mud fill me with dread but when you’re there and you sink into it (literally) it’s not that bad. 

 

We're all 8 years older since the last muddy G. Not so sure that most of us wouldn't find it a bit tougher.

Yes, in truth 2016 nearly broke me… my friends trolley fell apart on exit and three of us nearly had an actual breakdown.

 

I’ve also had some health issues this year caused by a severe infection in my foot and leg and I’m carrying more weight too, so I hope it’s not too tough!

it also gets forgotten that 2004 was also muddy.

 

2004, 2005 and 2007 were my first three it took until my fourth time in 2008 to have a comparatively dry festival! 

Ditto. 2010 was my first completely dry one. The heat was punishing though. But not as punishing as the 2007 bog.

2003 to 2007 got progressively worse.
 

2007 nearly broke me. I remember dragging my stuff and half the field with me on the bottom of my trolley to the car on the Monday morning swearing I’d never be back. 
 

And here we are.
