Looked like there was someone climbing the Pyramid at 8.50 but image changed just as I zoomed in. Not sure it was a climber as no other sign of related activity in the immediate vicinity. Was blue and orange though - some sort of webcam glitch perhaps. 

Also mowing of the Pyramid field going on at 0900, a dumper on the Pyramid perimeter and someone getting out of a silver saloon next to some portakabins. Not sure how long those portakabins have been there. 
UDATE 0905: looks like the dumper may have been a digger and was headed to the Spike. 

White van (Sprinter?) parked up by the Spike and another van driving through the King's Meadow gateway.

I think they're new - I haven't noticed them before now. Are they the first of the temporary crew structures this year?

Those Cabins are Bunkabins (sleeping units) - https://www.bunkabin.co.uk/our-cabins/sleeper-units/deluxe-sleeper/single

The level of intense image analysis on this thread puts military & intelligence agencies to shame 😂 Love it.

This place blows my mind. They've been there less than an hour and we've identified delivery time and method and exactly what they are, down to the brand. 

What's their purpose? On site live in security for the build?

0930 Still mowing the Pyramid. I'm not getting much work done...

To be honest, they're fairly distinctive and I've seen them up close plenty times in production areas of various festivals so it was memory rather than any research.

My best guess is that it's about a month too early to have security on site (not a lot of point until the fence starts going up), and because of the cost typically units like that go to key members of the production crew rather than regular security staff. I'd say maybe it'll be for whoever's coordinating the build?

Found something out about the webcam, which is useful/nice.

The main live image is made up of 9 images stitched together (last image is just a slither).
You can grab the separate parts of the image from the archive (not live though unfortunately that I can tell). Which means better quality images from the archive.

For example from 2019:

You need to replace _default.jpg at the end of the URL with _full_0_0.jpg etc

Shame the don't store the complete images or split for the live version.

to be honest, it is a long time since trail shoes were needed on the farm.  It is rock hard on the tracks in pretty much all weathers, the amount of chippings and hardcore put down between festivals has taken the splash out of it.  I quite like the mud and soft surface when running, now it is effectively running on roads apart from random potholes.

what appears on the webcam is a bit of surface damp and nothing more.  You are more likely to get shite splashed up your legs at the moment from leaky pipes and run off, lots of slurry and muck spreading going on.

Sun's out on the farm and it's looking luscious 

[deebeedoobee]

Ok folks just back and sat here in a smelly sweaty mess. Its a warm day for running ( well for me it is, I like about 5-10 degrees). 

So we have:

Piles of old pallets and scrap wood up at Dragon field. Probably ready for the bonfires.

 

A rather lovely wall going into the stone circle field. Plus some area cleared near the peace garden, in front of the wood nymph. Probably for seating maybe?

 

Arcrania still stands unlit

Alone in perfumed fields

Amongst the cow sh....poo

 

Can I have a cuppa tea now?

Luckily the sun dried it up, just a little cow poo spilliage where they are pumping it on the fields. The tracks are rock hard at the moment. Proper ankle turners.

50mins with a few stops for photos. Enough for this ol'bird.

In it's natural habitat we see the long-winged shitspreader gracefully swooping across the grass, unbeknown to it's prey the yellow backed digger.
