Glastocam!

I’ll be genuinely gutted if it’s not on for the build. Watching everything gradually form is a real pleasure.

Finally got a reply to an email I sent the BBC. 

“At present we've received no word of a relaunch date.”

Great.

What email adress did you use ? Perhaps a combined pressure might speed things up a little … 

[kalifire]

It was a contact form on their site. Took me a bit of digging to get to it and I can't re-find it now!

From the way the BBC have worded it, on the webcam page and in their reply to me, I think its the farm that have decided on the webcam for now, and the festival office who I suspect are best to email.

Yeah give the festival office a nudge @crazyfool1

Same for me!  I think it's to do with the raCAPTCHA thing. 

Their email address is office@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk

Back from another wander round the public paths near the site. Update, most activity is still around the clearing of the woods. Looks like more than just getting rid of dead branches.  A Land Rover in the pyramid field, milk tanker drove along the road past spring ground.  Took a walk through the Ashes wood, so named because that’s where in the past the ashes from the lime kiln were dumped. Some more activity near the red gate. Pangea looks well camouflaged in its green paint. 

and that’s the last update as we are heading home, so obviously they need to get that camera working now.

Did they just defy the council decision to remove it, then? Or was there an update to that.

Don’t know, but it blends well into the landscape

I agree but dont think Mrs Griffiths wants it in the background of all these wedding photos ...

Had the slight issue of COVID, which has probably given them a little breather. Also can't take down in the autumn/winter because of wet fields, as they need a crane.

Just dropping by to mention how much I too miss the webcam.

I have it bookmarked, and have always checked in on it regularly throughout the year, whether the festival is being built or not. It would be great to have it back again.

maybe worth an email if you get a few spare mins ... cant do any harm

Just came across these from Novmber... think someone lost the "Don't Drive on the Grass" signs 😅

They are from the Bustard Taga Rally, which has happened there in previous years as well.

I think the smile won’t be there …

Brilliant - never realised they did this on the site! An old Ford Puma in there as well - quality car!
