I’d take flip flops If I were you. If you do plan on taking Wellies I would take several flotation devices because according to Newtons third law of mud, Two Wellies applied to wet mud and equal pressure results in sinkage that could be detrimental to your trousers. I’m not sure it’s worth the risk mate. Flip flops will give you enough warning so you’ll be able to jump out of em to safety and carry on your partying.

I have lost several friends from them using wellies.

Be well.

unless you have a taste for shoes like pinays or even that Dutch DJ chap any dark coloured boots or trainers should be relatively servicable.

anyway if someone posts when and where this is I will keep a weather eye out, I think its actually not too far from me TBH. but any forecast in advance of 96 hours isn’t worth shit. thats all you’ll get even from the military and their sailors and airmen have much more to worry about from weather than wellies..

I voted yes but instead of getting loads of wet clothes and shoes etc maybe you could just wear your birthday suit.

still not that warm. even though I think that site is fairly inland it may be round here and weather is strongly influenced by coastal winds.

Wellies are however more suitable for prolonged work in cold and wet weather, as Billy Connoly Sang..

Chorus
if it wisnae fur yer wellies
wherewud you be?
you’d be in the hospital
or in firmary
cause you wid hive a dose o the flu
or even plurasie
if it wissne fur yer feet in yer wellies!

Wellies they are wunderful
wellies they are swell
they keep out the watter
and they keep in the smell.
When your sittin in a room
you cin always tell when some
B***r take aff thur wellies

Chorus

when yr oout walking in the country with a bird
And your strolling about the fields
Like a farmers herd
And somebody shouts”Keep off The grass”
And you think how absurd
Squelch you find why all farmers wear wellies

Chorus

Fishermen and firemen theres farmers and all
Theres men who’re digging ditches
And working in the snow
This country would grind to a halt
And not a thing would grow
If it was nae for the workers and their wellies

Chorus
