Sawdusty surfer Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Got back this evening. Some slightly damp patches in the lowest hollows between pyramid and Leftfield tower, but I stress slightly damp. Had to dig a couple of 18 inch deep holes in CN field. Dry. Laden Transit towing laden trailer (yes, I do mean laden) was fine driving up hill on grass. Looking good. Will try to update daily, more often if any major change. UPDATE> Due to the usual series of unfortunate events that we always endure during the start of the Pilton Marathon I didn't make it on to site today. BUT have just spoken to my elder daughter who is working there as part of the easy life site crew. she said that the ground is now baked hard and starting to crack in places. When I suggested that she might maybe test the ground with her car key she (with a rather rude turn of phrase) declined, saying that it would probably break her car key. So looking good at the moment.............. Next update tomorrow after my next delivery. Hmmmm. Thurs eve update. Getting drier all the time. some traffic stewards now wearing dustmasks. Threatened to rain on and off all day but didn't. Looking good. Edited June 20, 2013 by jamesontheverge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeskeppi Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Good stuff James! A suggestion, can you just update the first post with updates rather than a new post as I reckon they'll be hard to find if this gets popular! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macca3031 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Great thread, many thanks. I'm picturing jamesontheverge crouched over the ground, with his key out, trying to push it into the cracks Edited June 19, 2013 by Macca3031 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Fantastic news!!! Can't wait to see your bits and pieces this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddington Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Please can you do the key test James, I would read every post you write in a Geoffrey Boycott accent. This thread is dangerous stuff, will end up constantly checking it the same as the weather thread. Given the *current* forecasts are pointing towards a lot of rain up till Monday then mostly dry for the festival this could prove vital evidence. Jackone take note. Edit: And thank you James for doing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinhala Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 In addition to the key, perhaps you could rub your fingers over said ground in a circular motion.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
