Muddy, you're exaggerating - the slope is only about 15 degrees! No problem as long as you pitch your tent fore and aft, remember to sleep with your head higher than your feet, and keep the tent entrance shut to stop you surfing down the hill on your airbed in the middle of the night. I've survived it twice before, and will be coming back for more this year.

As for the mud ...well, an August downpour is always a possibility, but I suspect that this year a more likely hazard will be sprained wrists from driving tent-pegs into rock-hard ground.

Wassail!
