What's this over at the new Silver Hayes cut through? Was that there last year? A  new addition?

There's been talk that this is a whole new area in the Saxon Market being done by Cloud9 productions. A rave event organiser from Bristol

Thought it might be, thanks for the clarification. Nice to see it all happening!

So what's left?  I can only think of:

• Finishing Other
• PA + screens 
• Blues + Rumshack in Shangri-La
• FLAGS

I'm sure I've missed a few other things.

I'm seriously impressed by how quickly they build the entire site. This time last week there was barely anything up. 

Honestly it takes my mum longer to prepare for feeding 12 at Christmas. Bet Michael isn't running round shouting at Emily that the skirting boards are a mess either...

Traders arrive Monday / Tuesday - incredibly quick setup for most of them

Well, there are those   But I meant the site build - the traders just turn up and go.

The food stalls and shops generally go in one or two days before gates open.

Presumably because they're all profit making commercial entities, it doesn't make much sense for them to be set up for a week not generating any cash.

I know - I was being sarky. I should have added some sort of emoticon. The oddest thing for me is the mixing desks etc - I'm sure they normally go up earlier.

Hopefully it will blow bubbles like the 'Wishing Fish Clock' in the Regents Arcade in Cheltenham

Thats when the really interesting stuff starts!  The site build must be easy compared with the logistics of running the actual festival.  

Supplying all those traders with the food they sell, getting rid of the waste, making sure the water works and doesn't make people ill, the electricity doesn't cut, the generators have enough fuel, and a thousand other things I can't even imagine to keep a party for almost 200,000 people going for nearly a week!

It's mind boggling when you think about it.

When does the cider bus turn up? That's when i'll be massively excited. I will spend a fair amount of time there.

[Kay95]

I was going to say the Crows Nest still needs to go up, but looks like they might be onto it now....

That reminds me. Remember seeing it broke down on side of the road on route about this time last year.

I thought it was last year but found this:

Maybe it breaks down every year?

Unless I'm missing them on the webcam, I'm using a phone to view it.

No. Your probably correct. All years kinda merge into one when Glastonbury is concerened. I've lost bets on when I thought things happened. Wonder why that is....

Looks like the big tapestry thingy is being laid out over by old JP spot

Blues is up, I think - you can see it poking from the top of the trees at the top of SH
