Sunburn/ suntan. Mysterious.

[Garlick]

My memory recalls/ most LM photo show fairly dense cloud, and yet I am a mixture of hideous sunburn and glorious tan.

How did this happen.....?

[eps]

Are you sure it isn't fake tan?

[Garlick]

As if I would.....

[mollytherocker]

Have you showered yet?

[Max M4X WW]

I'm told by the OH that since shaving my face is various shades of red/brown/white

[kiethton]

I still don't get how it happened either....got the most hideous lines between paleness and burn where my t-shirt/shorts/socks were sitting (thankfully very low on the last account) and even a few choice burn blisters on my forehead, nose and cheeks....I looked a right state walking around the PH site with what must have been a bottle of aftersun on my face yesterday evening and am already dreading the pisstaking that will happen when at work on wednesday...

Legs and face are suffering!!!! This was on Saturday when it was sporadic.


Bad times! :-) great time had by all!

[t1grm]

Ditto... I look like a Belisha beacon at the moment!

[Garlick]

Pleased I'm not alone. I look like a snake at the moment, leaving one skin behind and starting again.

You lot must have been pissed the whole weekend ! Sunday was BEAUTIFUL in the afternoon. We all sat out in the sun with quite a few beers, had the obligatory BBQ and watched the sun go down at nine-something. Where WERE you ?

[Garlick]

Sunday was indeed a lovely day, but by then I was already burnt to a crisp

[JaseB]

I have that special neck tan line, red between t-shirt and ticket lanyard followed by a white stripe then more red up the rest of my neck.

Then the obligatory panda eyes!

UV light still passes through cloud and will burn you

In typical LM fashion I did not shower the whole 4 days I was there so looked a little less 'tanned' after finally washing on Sunday evening! Disgusting but fun

Thought there was a "funny smell" wafting over the campsites............

Worst sunburn I ever had was driving to Le Mans from Calais in the Westfield (roof down!). Never saw the sun all day but was badly burnt next morning.

Clouds don't stop all the UV obviously.

I'm peeling like a leper at the moment!

Wednesday afternoon did it for me.
Strangely my left foot and ankle is sunburnt, but not the right.

only the face for me at the moment, but I'm sure the rest of the body will follow soon

Being a ginger, I naturally tanned during the rainy periods. But not tooooo bad this year.

There is always sun cream of course...
