Haven’t the fields usually had a trim by now? They haven’t been mowed in months, I don’t think. 

It's not been as warm as it has bene in the past few years meaning grass is growing slower than normal, I would say in the next couple of weeks everything will be trimmed, when they get a couple of dry days together.

mentioned by @kalifire yesterday .... any thoughts on what this lot might be up to ?

Is it the staging for the Park, from memory I think they drop it there before they start building it?

If anyone without a ticket is planning on hiding up a tree for the next 6 weeks you'd better get on with it

Good old Mike. A good friend of the festival.
Hope he doesn't touch those power lines.

The goal post rigging and flooring is being unloaded from those three trailers. Everything is ready to go! It’s so odd how the cover still isn’t on. There must be a very good reason.

I am wondering if they've done something to the covers. I have no idea what, but it does seem odd that it's so late.

The odd thing is that the cover bags are on the corners and have been there for over a week now … my only assumption is weather related delays … they aren’t going to be dressing her with a risk of thunderstorms for definate .

Yeah I think it’s just that they’re waiting for a forecast of a couple of consecutive good days of weather to get it done.

It takes over a week from memory but there can’t be any other reason ?

It's not late.

It's just that the three most recent festivals it's been early so peoples expectations are off. Prior to that, it'd never started before May 9th, and sometimes started as late as June.

Two of the last 3 years have a definable reason for being early as well - In 2017 it was used to host some farm related event before the build started, and obviously last year was the first back after the enforced break.
