Got that e-mail from ticket-sellers. We decided to put our names down for the Flashmob thing, haven't a clue what it is but should be a laugh no matter what it turns out to be.

So, the real countdown starts today, whoopydo

Mirrors my own feeling KoS. I would have packed Glasto in a few years back but my wife is still a Glasto freak and keen as ever. Have been attending Green Man as our smaller festi for the last few years but decided it was time for a change this year.

My favourite festival so far this year has been a teeny festival called Heather Festival that has an attendance of around 150 with most of them being performers.

I break up from work today so have a week to figure out fancy dress (and fix the van sink that I broke at Glasto). I'd like to go as a frog but haven't thought that through yet

What are the food and drink prices like? Are they about the same as Glastonbury? Bringing all the kids so don't know if it's going to be a little expensive to rely on festival sood alone.

Hopefully a 40+ year old bloke dressed as a baby wont look too ridiculous!?

Us too. Been doing Glasto since 99, now starting to feel its time to down size

I've even started on a fancy dress outfit, something I've never done at the big G.

I'm arriving a few hours before my friend and have an e-ticket. Can anyone tell me if the e-tickets actually print out? So will i be able to get in then get out again when she arrives and give her her ticket? Also what's the phone coverage like?

Thanks! x

I've just looked back to see when I started making my fancydress outfit because I actually finished it yesterday. Started it on 25th June, 2 months to bend a piece of cardboard, stick a clock to it and paint it brown. Just as well it's not me putting the festy together or we'd all be mighty disappointed on Thursday.

Only four more sleeps plus the weather forecast is still lookin good.

Not too bad, light showers but not lots of rain!

yes doesn't look too bad but there's a weather warning out for tomorrow

http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/hi/uk_warnings

I tend to fret about the conditions for travelling/getting on site before a fest. Once I'm there I don't care so much

[xrayspecs]

Metcheck looks okay. Kerplunk think positive the Northeast is a big area KH will be a little oasis of sunshine. SNBA since you live fairly close to the site will you keep us informed what the weathers like on Wednesday because we'll be setting off at the crack of dawn on Thurs morning and can't afford to have the same thing happen again as last year. If there's loads of rain we might just leave it until Friday to set off. Although I've got to admit I hate the idea of missing a night there.
