Ian Youngs has written a
great piece about surviving the Glastonbury Festival mudbath. UK festival goers are looking forward to this weekend's Glastonbury Festival but true to form, the weather forecast suggests it is, as Ian graphically puts it, 'shaping up to be a full-on glorious mudfest'.
1997, 1998 and 2005, saw so much rain and mud that the dates have passed into festival legend. There are some great photos accompanying the article, including one from 2005 with the caption 'Come prepared - but not necessarily that well prepared'; the picture shows a couple of guys paddling across the camping ground in a canoe!
If you chicken out or just couldn't get tickets, you can enjoy the
festival coverage by the BBC. They are even providing a webcam and live streaming of performances.
