after looking at those photos. surely it would have been a good idea to have taken an inflatable dinghy. and sleep in that. of course then you could tell your friends you got sea sick camping in a field. many years ago.(40 plus ) i went camping with a few mates. and we all woke up in a rather large puddle. the farmer said it took him a long time to stop laughing as he watched the water creeping towards us. although it was only about 5 inches deep. the damage was done. so funny now. but back then we wanted to throttle him. lot of new clothes got ruined. 6 tents tested to the limit. and well and truly past the I CANT SWIM STAGE. i cant state on here what we wanted to say and do to that farmer. but he was close to seeing his last rooster having fun with chickens. but he did let us stay in the barn. as it was not being used. got all out stuff dried out. and gave us all fresh eggs. some ready for cooking chickens. veg from the fields. so the 3 weeks turned out ok in the end.  ah. the perils of camping. and dont we all just love it.

I've often thought that one of those inflatable life rafts is probably a better bet for Glastonbury.

I'm glad I'm too old for all that - the way the tents are packed in gives me the willies. When you could park by your tent, it had the additional benefit of creating a bit of a firebreak.

I was there! Fortunately up on high ground, it was mad it started raining very heavily about 6am and did not stop, I watched thunder and lightening and saw the hollows fill up, Glastonbury is basically a big bowl, got to say they are quick and efficient at clearing the walkways and paths, we slid back to the car and brought out our army capes,overtrousers and wellies and were fine. we still had a blast, you just take longer to get to the stages, When we left on the monday there was an Enormous pile of muddy wellies by the exit.
