So looks like Tow & Hitch is going up in it's usual spot, so that brown tent behind the helo is new. Guessing it won't a bar, so maybe backstage, production area. 

 

Just looking at the whole field though, and wondering how much camping space has been lost. 

the new webcam image is a slightly different perspective, but i dont think there is very much if any lost camping space, if you use the Coop and the Borderline of arcadia. and compare it with tents in from last year - i think it looks the same (as mentioned albeit with a slightly different perspective

Yes I don't think there's much camping space lost but a significant part of the Arcadia field is now backstage area.  Which seems strange if there's any possibility of overcrowding.

 

I thought the new brown tent looks a bit like the old Rabbit Hole tent, but not entirely convinced on it.

yeah thats absolutely the old tow and hitch tent, cant make out the Tow and hitch container though

[Chazeboy]

wonder what the big white tent is in front of RIbbon tower

 

again persepctive is maybe making things odd, but not sure where that was this time last year - can only assume new areas

I dunno.  Tow and Hitch last year looked grey on the webcam and this one by the chopper is brown.

Not dieing on this hill, but Tow and Hitch last year:

 

New brown tent:

 

 

Could just be the light and / or angle making it look different, but I'm still unsure.

And this is in the Tow and Hitch location today:

Wonder who gets to stay in the Tipi's/Yurts in that area on the right at the top of the Park, a bit below the sign.  Looks a nice spot, plenty of space.  Celebs/VIP's I guess - anyone know?  

There's the tipi field where you can rent tipis and then tipi village which hosts some of the real old skool hippies I think - tents appeared there this week. They get down there early.

Looks to be hosing down yep.

It's been suggested to me on Twwitter that the tent behind the dragonfly could be The Alchemists' Playground. I think they're on to something.

Heavy rain and cold. Not the best conditions to work in.

[Jacko45]

The forcefield is real, every forecast says it should be pissing down on-site.

good shout.

I like the level of scrutiny here: is the Tow and Hitch a slightly different shade? 😲😲😲

[devonhammer]

The trailer that's been in Woodsies field for ages is being unpacked. Might be seeing a big tent soon

Sticklinch underway. By the way, other than location, what is the difference between Sticklinch and Worthy View out of interest?

Flat walk onto site, different types of tents, no bar, and a real shortage of parking space this year.

I guess all that for the same cost as well?
