Northtim

Admitted to hospital - jaundice, hooked up to drip. 3 years dreams and last few weeks excitement gone up in smoke. Gutted - there have been tears from a 50 year old.

Put up one of those side tents now, were they bars? Looks like set up will be similar to 2019 but with Spidey in the middle instead of the Crane. People said sound was good in 2019 so if they recreate that with Spidey its all good yeah?

4 poles - new tent for Sonic!

Maybe sonic - last time that was a tent like the one Glade are using. I think that is the stage behind the tree in corner closest to Other Stage, the scaffold sticking up looks right to be dressed in the old cinema look of that stage.

This was my comfort/compact choice. Seemed ok on a quick test, might float well when your doom weather arrives Trekology UL80 Camping Mat https://amzn.eu/d/3yUcxWW

Probable location error - another tent in Greenfields then!!

They must have read the doomsters on here saying things were never going to be ready on time as it all seems to have kicked on today: Croissant Neuf Up New Tent in park Spider about to be coaxed out of its crates Mandela Bar frame up San Remo (old Beat Hotel) frame appearing Possibly Lonely Hearts Club Lock Ups More bins & tipi's What other biggies are we waiting on? JP Tent, Leftfield, Sonic, some signs of Sticklich not being a wind up!

Looks very similar

I wonder if the blue striped tent, which looked a bit bigger, was the rumoured new Stonebridge tent, and they put that and the Park Bar tent up the wrong way round so have taken then down to switch?!

😪 Whatever was on that Lorry now stacked up at the side of the field.

Or sooner...

See Tickets status earlier in the week was "Tickets are in stock and will be despatched shortly to the address provided." Just checked today and it says " Tickets will be sent by secure post. A signature may be required on delivery." Why the change...what does it mean...probably nothing and I will just have to wait a while 🥺

Probably for the cars, don't think many of them were runners.

Its headphones, like at the Silent Discos, or thats what it was last time for the films and DJ set. I went on first night for an Ibiza film then Fatboy Slim DJ set. Warning - sitting in a car after a few rums and a long day may make you snoozy enough to miss the film and the DJ! It was good to check it out and lots of effort put into the vehicles but I won't be going back - to many even better distractions at Glastonbury!

You're right. I hadn't clocked that but the route from Other to Pyramid is a bit longer now coming out by San Remo (was Beat) rather than the old cut through

In 2019 got an email saying dispatched and tickets arrived next day (email 30/5, tickets 31/5)

Yeah - ignore me. Apparently Jessie Ware is a different person to Jess Glynn - who knew!

Moment of silence for Manics who haven't made it back from 2020 😞 Is Jessie Ware a headliner - does nowt for me but never mind. Saint Etienne could be a good chill watch in the sunshine

Is this Gate D and fence laid out for a new section starting?

Pretty sure that is base of Co-op, we used to walk past it from camping in Paines along the track they have just put down. Pointed tent next to that is where there was a lockup last time, but that tent looks a bit smaller than was used for that, and then the cabins are about where Festival Medical Services usually is.

Picked up a Garmin Venu2 at weekend (second hand but like new for £180). Absolutely brilliant watch, really pleased with it for tracking runs/GPS and spotify while I run so don't need phone on runs any more. Started running for first time in years 6 weeks ago, partly to get Glasto fit and also a family challenge. Doing 3 5k's a week. Sort of followed my own version of C25k with run a bit walk a bit but getting better and now running sub 35min which I'm OK with for a chunky 50yo! Starting to get sore shins though so going to move onto bike rides/running alternate - dusting off my bike which has been hanging in the garage for a couple of years untouched! Exercise is good isn't it? Need to lose some weight too but feeling better than I have for a few years and more glasto fit.

Only time I started to lose my good Glasto vibes was when queuing for campsite water tap and waiting for people to wash and shampoo. I hope you do it when no one else is waiting as it is very annoying for others queuing to fill a water bottle.

Might soon have an answer if the screens will be bigger on the Pyramid then. Looking at prev years the frame around the screens looks like two arches bolted together one in front of another so I do wonder if that is all it will be again and they are laid out on the ground side by side. Hoping for something different but I am a Leeds fan and used to disappointment. Prepare yourselves if it isn't bigger screens - after two years our we are all getting giddy on here and I'm not sure how some of you will cope!

Do I see some Longdrop building starting by Pyramid Field?
