Let’s all take water pistols and keep each other cool all weekend. Massive water fights in the pit, water mortars, water grenades, splashbangs and anything else h2o related.
What do you think?

Would be fun, but remember that England has a water shortage and some parts have hosepipe bans and are at risk of drought (not sure if Derbyshire is or not), so a mass water fight may not be deemed appropriate.

How about leaving whatever water is available to those who want to drink it ?

This.

If I need water I'm not going to be amused if I have to stand and wait because people are filling up fucking water pistols. Not in this heat.

Indeed. Whilst the sentiment is fun and appreciated, conservation and making sure everyone has enough to drink is more important.

Watch out for everyone this year folks, I can see a lot of heatstroke related issues happening.

I know it's probably a daft question but is it safe to assume the supermarket on site will have a shit load of water for sale?

I would imagine it would be a top priority and there will be additional water points around the site. So you can refill bottles etc.

Vicky has said on her IG stories that there will be additional sheltered spots. It's gonna be a brutal one. I remember 2015 being about 25°C and even that was gruelling due to the lack of cloud cover.

I don't remember '15 being that bad tbh. Adam said in a video earlier they're putting up extra cover too.

I'm concerned the hot weather will increase the amount of mankini wearing this weekend

will the rule on only having baby water bottles be relaxed? I would like to bring in a sealed 2 litre bottle to A save queueing up and B, not having to queue so often.
