Glastonbury Map - comparisons over the years

[johnny-yen]

Does anyone know where I can find the post where someone had overlayed various Glastonbury maps from different years?

It was done very cleverly, a couple of years ago, to easily compare how the site has grown. 

I tried to use the search function on this site but bizarrely found 'zero' hits when I simply searched for 'maps'.

Thanks

I think @Gnomicide may be able to help?

I've got one buried away somewhere that is 2010 to 2016 but is the one you're after from before that? 

[johnny-yen]

That would be great. How do I access them? 

I'm also after a map from 1999 but struggling. Google doesn't seem to have anything decent that I can see.

I had it here but looks like the gif doesn't work anymore, unless it's the PC I'm on.

This 1997 map is a bit special.

Imagine going for the first time and actually trying to find your way around with that, let alone when completely off your tits.

just behind the giant plaster ?

I've criticised the map in the past for how boring it is, (and it's not brilliant from a readability point of view either) but I'm starting to think maybe it makes sense to keep it similar as it makes life easier for people who've used the previous edition. I want to have a go of making something a bit cleaner.

2016 currently looks a lot more like 2014 in terms of style (obviously stuff has moved progressively) - I wonder will there be any further version this year or are they happy they've nailed it first time?

  this is the first map its from a booklet I have that tried to get the idea of the 1971 festival off the ground,, I got andrew kerr to sign the booklet and he said he had seen one other copy since 1971

someone not me super imposed it on the 2013 map

That's because it's labelled wrongly.  You can see Strummerville in the field next to the stone circle on the "2014" map.  Since the 2016 map is showing the new entrance to Silver Hayes, I'd say that 2014 and 2015 have been swapped round.

 cheers! glad they're not going backwards
