You were lucky Mike, having it so easy at Glasters, we dreamt of being able 
to see any actual mud beneath the 7ft of water that was on the main road 
interchange into Chesterfield on Monday...we've been living in a lake here, 
not the luxury of a tent. And eating freezing cold gravel too.

Another 6 inches higher on the 'stream' feeding that puddle and Hawkwind 
would no longer have a lightshow. I lost enough gear at the Hawkfest due to 
water without being flooded out...hopefully ALL the strobes will be working 
next time.
