I just want to drive a tractor around the site.

Am I weird?

( Rhetorical question blutarsky )

I don’t know WHAT you mean?

I reckon quite a few of the workers now like to pose for the camera … 🙂  …. Hopefully the arcadia field gets a cut soon in prep for spider arrival 

Right on time, Arcadia’s getting a trim.

There’s a pattern of grass cutting here … not quite a Radiohead pattern but hopefully that means the spider arrives this week then …

Will this be the fields last hair cut pre festival? Presumably so... What an exciting time 😂

I’ve never felt such solidarity with people who celebrate the arrival of urinals and speculate over the schedule of lawnmowers.

Could that be the first Worthy View tents going up?

Somebody more experienced should probably confirm, but it sure looks like green ridge tents to me, and perhaps orange / red ones behind.

WaterAid kiosks have gotten an upgrade!

[Staberinde]

Nothing to report from me at the moment.

I'm just posting to say I love this thread and enjoy catching up on all the little 'tit bits' as the site grows.

interesting times 👍

Yeah they’re behind previous years when it comes to that, but way ahead on the Pyramid field and the fence build. 

Maybe there are long weekend events track is needed for and it’ll arrive next week?

liam gallagher Knebworth and Etihad gigs this week, NBHWeekender last couple of days and the BBC Radio 1 festival. That's where the tracks most likely are.

Where does the JP tent come come in from ? That’s always quite late from memory 

[MJP]

Not sure but Radio 1's Big Weekend had a tent that was identical in size, just different colours.

Don't know for sure, but possibly Download?

I worked at Download in 2015  and chatting to quite a lot of the crew when in catering the guys they said they were dismantling various bits and heading straight for Glastonbury.

[Pinhead]

Many Bearded caterers are regulars at Glasto - it was like a trade show last weekend.

[Garrypp]

the site looks beautiful and BUSY this morning...just three weeks...THREE WEEKS

[kalifire]

Reckon it'll ramp up even more after the long weekend. That's when it'll start getting properly busy, with all fields occupied.

It's been split up in to part crew camping according to the map

Cor, she's busy today. 

Caravan in Spring ground:

Pyramid sound desk tents almost finished, plus lots of the interstage infrastructure starting to appear in the background: 

Vehicles appearing in healing fields: 

Container been dropped off in Glade/Leftfield, plus an example of the lovely stripy fields which can be seen all over the shop:

Groundworks near the Dairy Farm, around the point where you'd enter Silver Hayes if coming direct from Rivermead and Pylon:

 

 

[blutarsky]

Deliveries in WG Field. What are these? Compost toilets?

Was just coming back to say it's disappeared. I wonder if the festival office are monitoring the thread and testing us. Did I just win someone a bet?
