Worthy View - pictures?

[majormajormajor]

Hi guys

I know there are a few threads for Worthy View going around, apologies.

Does anyone have any picture of the site during the festival? Ie. all the tents, facilities, crowds etc? Just curious.

I've got a few aerial shots on my Flickr page, but nothing from ground level:

These are the best ones:

Is that the Eavis house?

No, his house (farm) is at the top of that same photo. Just above the pyramid stage and very very slightly to the right

Michael doesn't live at the main farmhouse anymore. His new house is nearby, but I'm not sure where it is.

Noted. Who lives in the main house now then, Emily & family I presume?

In festival terms, it's really close to VG6 but just outside the fence

Any chance of my gear having a helicopter drop-off at Big Ground??

Sadly not, there is a no fly zone over the festival.

the main farmhouse is divided into a number of separate dwellings, inhabited by different people (one of which is/was Mark Cann, who has had a major role in running the fest over the years - I've been in his flat).

I'm guessing that Emily and family live in the part that Michael used to occupy.

Worthy Farm looks a bit weird with all those neatly lined up tents. Just a bit too organised and regimented.

According to some of my festival friends who live locally in Street, Eavis now has a large house and lives off the farm itself.

As his neighbour I can tell you he lives over looking the farm but it is a lovely big house.

Boom!

Those pictures are kinda mad, so characterless by comparison to the main throng. But mostly I'd like to see just how efficiently those tents are going up/down by the end of each patch of them - when you've just put down 100 identical tents I bet it goes back in the bag first time and everything

These pictures deceive the eye into thinking Worthy View is a nice flat stroll from the main site!

It's up because of a farming event on the farm on Wednesday

I have just realised that these photos are in the wrong thread. Meant to put them on the "Worthy Farm yesterday in the sun" - hay ho hope you enjoy them anyhoo

Why would a farming event need the stage up? Are they using it for that event? Seems odd.

Great photos by the way. In the absence of the official webcam, these are particularly fantastic. Thanks!
