A quick question for everyone talking about the dry weather meaning we're going to get loads of "saved up" rain.  You are joking, right?  Or do you really not understand statistics?

Yes there was a little rain overnight but only enough to leave damp grass nothing more. Now it's quite humid so any damp has dried off.

Lots of stuff being loaded in to the pyramid this morning

I think seeing the Other Stage build up is my favourite part.

Even more so than the walkway lights being switched on?

I must admit it's such a beautiful site when the sun is setting over the tor in the backdrop and those bastards get their first twinkling.

Other highlights include:

urinals going up in the pyramid field

ciderbus kicking up dust as it hurtles up the track behind the pryamid stage

the arrival of the traders

Oh yeah.

The other really dramatic part to watch is seeing the campers turn up.  Which either fills me with sadness or pitch-stress depending on whether I'm going that year.

Agree RE the walkway lights.  Means we're starting to get close

The urinals are out on the railway line opposite glade

Ooooh - I use those ones a lot! A handy pit stop on a Park/Tent to West Holts run, etc.

Why is the mental image of manky blue-tarp enshrouded men's lav making me feel so elated?!

Mental.

Looks like the urinals are going up at the old JP site as well.  There's a digger in the Pyramid field roughly were they were last year too so guessing that's today's task for those teams.

Super nerdy post alert!

Interesting to compare the fence line this year to last year for behind The Park. Looks like they're installing the fence higher up the hill this year. Think this field is crew camping though

Great spot

Teach me how to check the image on dates in the past please!!

Yes I'm a nerd too.

[mjsell]

So that extra space by the park is to offset the space lost in crew camping in dairy(?) that in turn is to offset the space lost to the cinemageddon? 

Or is it something more? 

It does look like the fence is going to be right back up against the trees all the way across as well, which is a bit further back than last years pics

Looks like they are looking at the stage, where the David Bowie logo was last year....looks kinda like a screen to me...

Nice one for that, I did think the fence was going higher up the hill this year.

If that new extension to the fence is crew camping does this mean they're also employing Sherpas? Thats some serious gradient to be putting tents on.

Good spot.  Hadn't noticed that either.

Change the below to the date you want. Camera usually updates every 10 mins, so if there is nothing at 12:05 then you should have something at 12:00.
