Love the sign up by the farm

[Cash and or Card]

The card reader problems last year where due to the SIMs in the readers not being on EE. I know of at least one stall that swapped them over on the Thursday after loads of issues and didn't have a problem for the rest of the weekend

Same - could swear I've seen it labelled as something non-public before too!  Can't imagine they would fill all of either side of the road overnight, assume they want to keep their options open to have both sides able to take cars off the road during rush hour in the morning

It's labelled on the external traffic / car park map

The hospitality parking is the closest to Gate A as they have a separate entry gate. It's been a few years since I parked that side, though most of the general public parking was Orange and Pink

Never even thought of this!  any idea where stalls are in CV fields?  I've probably walked straight past them or sat looking at them for hours 😄 

 

The orange bits are the food vans in E18/E17 and E20

There was a breakfast and coffee bar in E17/E18, though can't for the life of me remember what the couple of vans were in E20. I'm sure someone else will remember though. There is also another food van in E15 at the right hand corner of the woods, though that's off the route from the car parks so would be a big detour to venture there

Is it just me or does the Pyramid sound desk layout look different?

We usually just see the outside structure go up and then the covers, they seem to be building them slightly differently this year.

There's a lot of trussing around, it may just be for the delay speaker stacks and lighting towers that sit behind them though (see pic from last year)

I'm sure we'll find out in a day or two though as they seem to be moving pretty quickly in that area now

Not sure I am seeing this correctly - but looks like the fence is going up one field forther away from where it usually is through Rivermead and Pylon

Yes, they've extended the staff camping in Pylon this year, moving the fence out into what was W32 car park. The dotted line I believe is the hedge, roughly where the fence went last year

Bloody hell - is that because they had forced the queue to form from E18 and then let it through nearer to gates opening, or do you reckon one big long queue all the way to the gate?  

One big queue all the way to the gate. I was in the camper fields last year (E17) and when I got up at around 6:45 the queue was back out into the car parks. It did move pretty quickly once they actually opened the gates though.

The problem with Gate C and queueing overnight is due to the hill, the zig zag pens are a lot smaller than the other gates, with the queue then looping around the hill.

Once it gets to the top of hill, it soon backs up to the Pylle road through the remains of E21, E20 and E19, then starts to queue through E18 and E17. By that stage it is a single line and not really close together so soon stretches back into the car parks. 

When I got up a bit later, around 09:30, the queue in E17 and E18 had gone completely, though there were still people trudging in. We finally joined the queue around 11:30 and at that time it took us about an hour to get in. We joined the queue about half way into E19.

I'm assuming all towels, shampoos etc are provided for? 

I'd be interested in this but not if I have to bring extra stuff

Shower gel / shampoo at the Greenpeace shows are provided, though you have to bring your own towel. Not sure about the ones by the Kids field though as never used them

[Glastocam!]

Looks like the Tipis are about to start going up

How long between receiving the See Tickets dispatch email and the Royal Mail tracking changing to something other than 'unable to confirm status - try again tomorrow'? 

I received the email on Tuesday morning, tracking started working this morning, tickets delivered 20 mins later

[Glastocam!]

Any idea what this is?

WaterAid kiosk near the cider bus has appeared

Stuff appearing in Tipi field, they started putting them up on 6th last year so may start to see them pop up in next day or two

That ain't the former WG tent.  WG was 2 flags and plain red.  May be bigger than previously, but it doesn't look THAT much bigger.  Hard to tell at this distance I suppose.

This is last year's for context
