Nope

I second that.

Though just spent a few minutes looking at the puddles on the webcam to reassure myself that it's not too bad and everything is fine on the site

Flooding as seen from the Tor (A friend’s video today)

The very expensive drainage system on the site needs to empty out somewhere I guess…

Just like a cup of tea spill a few days and that’ll be gone … no sign of the forecast thunderstorms as yet . Apart from yesterday’s

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.

I think it's the wind that's holding them back as its been pretty breezy in the SW as well as some thunderstorms.

Not sure what these are for, but as the ties are pretty horizontal it gives me the impression I wouldn't want to be working at height down there at the moment.

I've looked back previous years and by this stage the Ribbon Tower was also up, so I'm assuming it's just the fact the weather hasn't been settled for a few days straight to get these things done.

Looking back at roughly this time in the recent years:

2015 - Pyramid dressed and screen posts up to the side, ribbon tower and BBC Park structures in place. Other stage only just starting to lay trackway. Long drops up and fencing being laid out on ground

2016 - Pyramid undressed, though covers laid out ready to dress. Ribbon tower and BBC Park structures in place, no work stated on other stage and only the long drops at back of other stage up, fencing being laid out on ground.

2017 - Pyramid dressed, starting to build staging around it ready for towers to go up. Ribbon tower, BBC Park structure and Park stage going up. Starting to lay trackway for Other stage. Longdrops built, no sign of the fence.

2019 - Pyramid dressed, starting to build staging around it for towers to go up. Ribbon tower, BBC Part structure and Park stage base up. Crane action at Other stage as it's about to be lifted. Longdrops built, loads of arcadia trackway as it was the start of the crane. No sign of the fence.

2022 - Pyramid dressed, screen supports in place around it and dressing room areas erected. Ribbon tower and BBC Park structure up. Other stage on ground ready to be lifted. Longdrops built, arcadia action prepping to drop the crane base, fence in a similar place to this year.

Another section of fence in SE, heading to link with other section already built 

They're really powering along with the fence! Anyone care to bet what day they'll join up with the South Park section? I'm saying Monday 🙂

They are normally used on building sites (which the festival site is now) when there is a cable or something that is crossing the road. Acts as an early warning for tall vehicles. In theory it should stop vehicles hitting the cables.

my eyesight cant quite make out the company name on this logistics vehicle ...... and where's the accommodation block we had last year gone ? maybe they are now out of sight for privacy 🙂

Had a bit of a walk yesterday evening. Still so much to do but some good progress on Other and Holts. Lots of superfence works. 

Nice to see the sun out drying up the fields

Plus it seems the fest asked people not to post pics of the build on an FB group. But webcam was ok. HA. Gotcha there. They are preparing something....!

What time does the Glasto Cam start operating in the morning? Mine is stuck on 21:05 from last night. Looks beautifully moody, mind you.
