It's probably got something to do with the works they were doing a few months back at the farm.

Yeah this is my thought too as when I was there in August they were still doing works there and judging by the cam its the same place so should be connected. I'm struggling to think which area it is from memory though- maybe Hawkwell or Michael's mead as both of those were on a hill

It's Hawkwell. The Hedge the is the one between Hawkwell & Row Mead.

I wonder if Hawkwell will be available to camp in this time around then. Another reason to look forward to the map!

Christ what have they done to the place!! Guessing but isn't that area just below where they used to have the farm slurry pits? Substantial excavation - another or bigger storage tank for slurry. Maybe a water tank on the other hand...

That's interesting as it looked to me as if the crane was in the Pyramid Field and not by the farmhouse. But I do have a touch of the Father Ted's in these matters.

Plans have been passed for a 124kw Anaerobic Digestion Plant.

Not that i have a clue what it is mind but they have all the details on the mendip district council site.

Basically it turns cow shit in to electricity.

Any pretty much any organic waste.  We've got one in Greater Manchester which is why they pick up all our food/organic waste, not just garden waste.

[Dave_c]

They are building the monorail station, obviously

[Pinhead]

Maybe it's a huge badger cage ?

You are welcome ?

All farmers should have one of these to protect us countryside folk when it's time to spread that muck...

The Anaerobic digester removes biogas from the slurry and pumps the remaining digestate into a separate storage tank. From here the digestate will be spread in a  similar  manner  to  slurry under  the current farm  practices. However, it should be noted that the digestate is nitrogen rich and is much less odorous than slurry when spread on the land as the biogas, primarily methane has been removed.

I've just gone through and updated which panodata the archive images are on if anyone is interested!

Just amend the red bits in the url below to find the date/time you are looking for.

The top end of Hawkwell was about a 45 degree slope so if they've taken that away its no bad thing. You did get the late arrivals on Friday sticking them up there but otherwise it was a bit of an unused space.

Haha I've got a pic of that somewhere from 2013 ( I think?) when it was almost going up the hill at Hawkwell!  12 people sleeping in there, I bet it smelt delightful each morning ?#

Plus we'll also be able to see the monorail arriving into the station now

Google map sat view has been updated and you can see exactly where the tank is going as the hole had been dug out in preparation for it. Does look like it's where the massive slope was.

[Keithy]

Fairly certain it's where those bushes are at the bottom of the bank (given they no longer appear on sat view)

[Keithy]

I know GlastoMap was killed of by The Man (✊ ) but interestingly if you download Google Earth, there's a satellite image available during last years festival....

I like this. Saving it to study at a later date
