Thank you. Wish it was a bit more high res but this is amazing. I could inspect it for hours.😍

I look at maps like this and realise just how bad my Glastonbury geography is.  Looking for Park stage in completely the wrong place.  It's a miracle that somehow I don't get lost while I'm there

I did the same, it felt like it should be in the bottom left corner.  Curious to see that about as much space is dedicated to Arcadia these days as to the Park area, about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of the Other stage field.

Anyone know whats in this field apart from grass ?  .... is it someone's house ? that doesnt want it utilised or camping allowed just seems odd placement with camping around it

Pyramid field during SZA.

It does look exactly like a holdout landowner who isn't prepared to let their land be used and is probably compensated for the festival.  If that were me I'd use the money to go somewhere warm for a couple of weeks and hire a small security firm to park couple of people on the grounds for the duration of the festival.

Might be the land purchase they've spent money on recently.

Unsure for the year this is from but I'm 90% sure for 2024 they launched the drone show from here.

the camping just above it, is fairly small and closed off - i suspect the area is also for guests of the organisers

Realised why we were so far off the mark - the f**king photo is at 90 degrees 😂

 

Stone Circle and Worthy View should be at the southern end of the farm, the phot has them in the east.  No wonder I was absolutely lost

Yeah, I am only able to view it by clinging to the bookcase and hanging out to the side like a chimp.

That would be @Glastopedia. He's not posted since June though, so maybe not see your message.

Yep, and alternative to Twitter. I've messaged him a link to your lovely message so hopefully he'll see it.

It is the Twitter type social media that millions are deserting Twitter to join.

 

Unlike Twitter, it isn't a cesspit of extreme right wingers and ,generally speaking, it seems like all the nice, normal and reasonable folk are migrating there.
