Think how quickly that will seem after a three year gap before this year's festival. On Thursday it'll only be 50 days until the first major ticket sale for 2023!

I love that the land goes back to being what it naturally is. It's not only beautiful, and how it should be, but it provides the contrast for the next time we start to see random mobile housing and piles of mud appear.

Thunderstorm down that way at the moment, would be ace if the webcam picked up a bolt!

Yes, looks horrendous at the moment, first time for months the dust will be kept down!

It could be like that the week before the next festival and the optimists amongst us would still claim it's just softening the ground for our tent pegs 🙂

Some Pilton Party building going on 🙂

Bins, fences, long drops.

Stage is up, see here:

Big crane.  Looks like the ‘climb the steps’ long drops are being removed from the Pilton party field.

Cows!

Photo I took in 2018 fallow year when we rented a cottage just next to the farm. Taken from the lime kiln ground overlooking spring ground. Amazing the fields are all in crop.

Isn't that overlooking Pennards from the Glade/Railway crossroads?

Been four years since I took it but I’m sure it was from where lime kiln meets spring ground, at the crossroads that leads onto Hitchin hill, where we had camped the previous year.

The copse of trees at the top middle is Strummerville and the path straight up is to Worthy View.
Can only find a picture of it looking down from Stummerville online.

I'm with you on this one and I worked the Glade crossroads many times.

Not so sure. Spring Ground slopes down to the right but that picture looks as though it slopes up, unless you weren’t vertical when you took it

Yes, agree, it could be the wicket ground family camp field. Must look out other photos I took that year.

I agree, that is 100% Pennards looking up at Strummerville. Taken from the longdrops opposite Glade on the crossroads (you can see the pit cover in the bottom right of the pic).

This was the picture I was looking for! Thats the crossroads at Hitchin hill, lime kiln and wicketground. The signpost is the footpath to the Tithe barn. This field was in crop as well.

Pennards planted with Winter Wheat! Shows Pennards is some other farmers land - ME is a dairy farmer.
