Passed three large red Sparrows cranes heading for the site on the way to work this mornng.

Crane action at Ribbon Tower.

Talking of work, I had better go and do some now rather than watching the action down on the farm 😂

Unacceptable attitude i'm afraid 😄  

I have done so little work over the past couple of weeks and intend to continue to do very little work until the festival is done.  

Then it's the countdown to october...

It’s a hive of activity now compared to recent weeks. Ribbon Tower should be getting its hat on soon.

I've often wondered exactly what is the point of the ribbon tower. All it does is get in the way. Mind you the same could be said of the pier.

I think it looks great. Adds a nice bit of vertical colour. Never been up it though

I love the ribbon tower, quite an iconic bit of the festival 'skyline' imo. I have only climbed it once when I was waiting for Pulp but I would quite like to do it again at night.

I know you still get a good view from the hill behind but it was cool to actually climb up the tower.

[Crazyfool01]

Was thinking is the ribbon tower unique to Glastonbury?

It's one of the many things that every year I say "Yeah must definitely do that this year" and utterly fail in doing so.

Though it is useful as a beacon to head towards when I'm camped near it and very worse for wear / disorientated.
