Waterproof tents and other such myths…

So, my enthusiastic no mud proclamation yesterday may have been a little premature, given that the weather system hanging over Somerset right now hasn’t got a clue what it’s doing. After being sunburned yesterday afternoon I awoke to find my tent leaking on my feet – a major design flaw in my opinion. The question everyone is asking though, is how long will it last? Well, the sun is trying to come out, and we should all be dry pretty quickly.

In more important news, the road test of the Solio is going well, and I am typing this thanks to the power of the sun. It’s a great bit of kit, and is going to rapidly become an essential part of my festival kit bag.

The festival is making a big push on green issues, particularly in regards to climate change and carbon emissions, and it’s good to see so many people taking the information in. Pics to come when it’s brightened up, but for those of you who know the site, The Old Railway Line has been transformed into a half mile long information source, with literature, artwork and performance.

Highlight of yesterday? A group of wandering goths performing the best rendition of ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’, you really can’t beat that.
