8 ways to survive the mud and rain of Glastonbury 2016

Some simple and sage advice

Don't camp at the bottom of a hill: You will find yourself at the receiving end of a flurry of all kinds of filth and chaos.

Don't forget to bring a towel: Ageless wisdom.

This is a bin bag: It will save you. Leave Glastonbury as you found it - tidy and beautiful. These are also essential when it comes to handling your wet and muddy clothes.

Take an extra tent: If there's a few of you going in a group, it might be wise to take an extra tent just to store all of your wet and muddy gear in. Just don't advertise the fact that there's no one staying in it.

Make sure you have a poncho: Don't be 'that' guy with a umbrella blocking everyone's view of the stage. Man up and get yourself a poncho. You can either buy one, fashion one out of a bin bag, or accept a branded one from the many evil corporations who will be giving them out for free.

Make sure your tent is strong and waterproof: Make sure it has a cover on top or fashion one out of a bin bag. Also, make sure it's sturdy enough and pegged in thoroughly or it will end up looking shit, like this.

Mud-slides, don't do them: You may think you're being whacky and kerr-azzy but you'll look and feel like a total arse afterwards - and you'll probably catch dysentry.

Get your wellies now: This is what a sodden Glasto looks like. Trying to manoeuvre around the site without wellies is like trying to sprint through concrete - and if you wait until you arrive to buy them, you'll probably get ripped off.

So, bad news folks - the weather forecast for Glastonbury 2016 is less than promising, as it looks like we could be in for than a spot of rain down at Worthy Farm. Stay strong though, Glasto-goer. You're on your way to an event like no other, about to have the time of your life. You must not let anything dampen your spirit.

It's not easy though. There's nothing quite like that thick, Worthy Farm mud - it's world renowned. And how exactly do you keep the party mood going when spending four or five days outside in the rain?

Well, we've got you covered. Just stick to these eight simple rules about surviving the mud and rain at Glastonbury, and you should just about make it to the other side.
