140,000 set for Glastonbury mudbath
22/06/07
The biggest Glastonbury Festival ever is due to kick off as nearly 140,000 music fans brace themselves for the return of the event's infamous mudbath.
Torrential rain and thunderstorms are expected to lash down on Worthy Farm throughout the three days, as forecasters predict another wash-out.
Despite the gloomy forecasts, record numbers had already made the pilgrimage to the Somerset venue by Friday morning - determined not to let the weather ruin their fun.
Most of the 80,000 revellers on site came prepared for the worst, as T-shirts and shorts were tossed out of rucksacks in favour of heavy-duty wellingtons, anoraks and jumpers. Reports suggested that wellingtons are now selling for up to £80 outside the site.
Roads in and around the festival site are expected to be clogged up for miles as tens of thousands of people make the trip.
Organiser Michael Eavis on Thursday put a brave face on the weather and insisted there was nowhere better to be this weekend.
"This is the best place in Britain to be at the moment. We have been so lucky with the weather, I promise you," he said.
Two years ago, 300 tents were washed away in floods after a month's rain fell in less than two hours - turning the festival into a huge mud bath. To avoid a repeat this year, Eavis has spent more than £750,000 on flood prevention measures, including new barriers.
Fans snapped up 137,500 tickets in a record time of less than two hours when they went on sale in April. And nearly 40,000 tickets were taken up by caterers, support staff and volunteers.
An extra 27,500 revellers were able to get their hands on the sought-after tickets this year after organisers won approval to boost the capacity to a record 177,000. But it did little to satisfy the huge demand for the festival, as hundreds of thousands of revellers were left disappointed after missing out on the £145 tickets.
