i went up for the first time last year, on a whim as there was no queue when we were there at 4am.

it was great!  you can get higher up on the hill, but the feeling of hanging over the festival from the top of the tower was brilliant!

For me the best bit was the walking up and down.  Like being inside a rainbow!

I hear what you say gentlemen.  Perhaps I shall broaden my outlook this year and climb the tower.

Back from my daily farm run, and yes I run up the park hill and stone circle hills- nice calf killers. There are 2 wasp nests in the hedge, up the side of the park just where they put the fence. Hope the fence guys see them before they get stuck in.

The ribbon tower hat is up by red barn.

There is a container with white sails over head in the woods between the JP and Pyramid. It's looking lovely in there now!

The rest you can probably see.

Looks like the Tree Cafe is going up as well.

Where is that, please? Never stumbled across it but think I'd like to this year.

Its kind of in a triangle with the ribbon tower and the left side of the rabbit hole. Good for a dance on the wednesday

"Take mushrooms and climb ribbon tower" added to list.

Or just 'climb the ribbon tower'. Things can be amazing without chemical additives.

Which is why I've never understood the attraction - when you can get a better view by simply climbing the hill behind the tower.  No queueing and you get the added bonus of the tower itself being part of the vista.

The first year of the Park, and maybe the second as well, the main outer fence was close to the tower, so it really was the highest point on the site. The webcam angle makes it look like the very top of the Stone Circle field is higher, but I think that's the angle. Certainly when I climbed the tower in 2007 the whole of the GLASTONBURY sign area would have been outside the fence.

Haha could be

Weird how they've had the final piece of the pyramid cover laid out all day but not put it up yet.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

It's kind of nice to see the dust being kicked up by those wee trucks.

[billum]

Yep the dust could be quite a problem this year, we'd better plan how we'll be coping with it come June

[scaryclaireyfairy]

I shall wrap my soon-to-be-made, capey, cloaky thing over my face and swoosh on!

[deebeedoobee]

Went out for the usual run around the farm tonight. Left the house in the sun and returned in a hail shower...ouch. Suns out again now. It was obviously just to keep the dust down.

[Cheesey]

Wow

[Plumb111]

Very nice down there again this morning!!

[JayBalls]

First bit of crane action at the ribbon tower today

[Kay95]

is that the base of the crow's nest just up from the ribbon tower too?
