Will be a cost saving measure (long term) so they can hire less Trackway each year.

Yes just had a look there, nice and sunny.  Heras fencing round the front of the stage and part of the field and quite a bit of JCB, cherry picker activity.

I know you are Scottish but what you call sunny is very different to mine!

Nice clear picture of the Pyramid frame inspections today.

 

Also, unrelated to GF, lots of clay machines set up for Shooting over the weekend.

im going to go with light fixings .... so we get the pyramid glow similar to coldplay ....

Lots of cars parked , bit early in the day for dogging😉, I suppose they are using clay pigeon shooting as a cover story.

Yes their shooting today as I drove past the farm earlier to Shepton.

[Crazyfool01]

The clays will continue to confuse right though the build … once you think something is hAppenning it isn’t 🙂 

[kalifire]

I remember being surprised at how close to the festival they scheduled a shooting last year. It was within two weeks, iirc. Definitely during peak construction period. 

[Crazyfool01]

Great start to the summer would be the pyramid getting dressed in summer clothes tomoro 

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

Hopefully the cameras don't drop off this year so we can watch the progress on the dress

[Crazyfool01]

At least we get another hour of webcam viewing now 🙂
