Is anyone else scared that it is gonna absolutely piss it down this year?

2004 was more 'sticky' though as far as I remember

 

 

the caravan I had at the time (a freebie I got a few weeks before the festival) leaked live a sieve though, heres a valiant attempt at drying bedding, and it being unceremoniously flattened at my local scrappy on the monday

yeah was dry in the lead up to... just watching a few news reports ..... pretty hard to sleep in that and even some of the better tents had water coming in ... I remember trying to divert several pools of water in the tent to run outside . rain does always sound much worse inside tents mind 

Whereas  swear that in 2016 it had rained solidly since January!  I seem to remember driving my colleagues nuts with my constant commentary on the weather.

It's the only language those old caravans understand.

1998 was my first Glasto and the weather was awful! I've been many times since and all weekends have been great weather. 

 

If i could handle 1998 as my first  - nothing is stopping me now 

 

Except for bad joints, feeling the cold more due to being bald, carrying a spare trye around and literally being 90% more like victor Meldrew

But even at 44 I'll drink a pint of piss and purchase a T- Shirt to announce it IF it means a dry weekend

The site will handle wet weather a lot better than ever before and they will have wood chip at the ready if needs be. I showed my kids videos of wet Glastonburys and there response was 'I hopes it like that this year'. I made them drink their own Piss as punishment for such words

Whilst i would generally not advocate piss drinking for minors, in this instance it seems fair.

But you would advocate it for adults? 🤢

1998 was my first too. I think it's good to have done a really mud one as your first as it made the muddy ones i've done since (2011? 2016) a breeze compared to it.

1985 was my first and the muddiest I remember. I deliberately missed both 97 and 98, because somehow I knew they were going to be muddy
