Really does, can't wait to see that fence start to snake round the top of the site!

I'm here! Sorry I'm late! Our video camera overheated a few years ago when we had it running constantly - it literally broke down on the Wednesday when everyone arrived! So I'm sorry, we haven't managed to stream a video since then, but after that the festival put up better webcams. Lovely that people remembered it though - I'm glad it was appreciated

Your zoomable panoramas, were they taken with the same camera and also toast, or will they be forthcoming over the next couple of months?

More antics in the other stage field. Next to go up I guess

Looks like work has started on the pier? To the left of the ribbon tower

Isn't that the location of the long drops?   The pier would be further left as we're looking at it I think.

Do previous year's bins get re-painted?

Looked at the map and I think you're right - got over excited!

Can someone literally tell me how many times he literally says literally before I literally decide to literally watch it?

I was worried there for a minute but he pulled it back to a respectable level. I literally hate when people use literally when they don’t mean literally.

I counted 4.

In fairness, he makes a great video.

The English dictionary was recently amended to include the term "literally" to add emphasis to something in addition to its original use, "to mean something in a literal manner". What a time to be alive.

Yes, I’ve always thought that would be a great job to do, must be tremendous camaraderie, fun and let your creative side go crazy. The artists must be on site well before the festival. We always appreciate them. Unfortunately I can paint and my drawings are like a 5 year old!

The majority are on site 2 & half weeks before gates open painting all the bins, poles, benches & murals (on the wristbanding stations). Core team (Hank etc) are there a bit longer as they do the colour wash of the bins / remove broken ones etc.

Bet they have a blast. Visiting the area last year I saw a few ‘rogue’ bins at the side of the tithe barn just outside the site. Those benches are a godsend for tired feet!

As @BeddyDriver said, that's just trackway. They were putting it out yesterday.

With the cement trucks that have been seen over the last few weeks, it seemed pretty clear they were putting foundations in, this confirms it. Makes it sound like it's going to be rather substantial.
