Any one got any idea what the tall thing to the right of the Park stage is?

I think that it's probably another phone mast, they're really trying to up their game this year.

Your not joking!

I read an article (self-promoting) that they're permanently installing a super 4G network, expecting they're most net-traffic ever.  Hope they don't dominate the views too much...

Trackway going down over in the field where I think Arcadia will be. Still no sign of the spider itself though.

Do we think the ribbon circle at the top of the site will be back this year after being absent last year?

 

Anyone know why wasn't it there?

I'm handing my notice in the Friday before Glasto, so I really couldnt care less at this stage.

Yeah, sorry flags, not ribbon!

I suspect all the small 'phone masts' are part of the network infrastructure used by the festival, not neccesarily for the public to use. Point to point wifi/radio is easier to install than cables.

 

Having said that, I'm interested to see what the 'wifi coverage' EE say that are putting in will actually turn out to be. Last time is was a few access points by the recharge tents, but I wonder if they are planning on hanging repeaters around the site to ease traffic on the mobile network ? I guess we will have to wait and see

Was there no flags at all above the tipis last year? I wasn't there but there was in 2015

Fairly off-topic, but it is pleasing that unlike American sites, you rarely see someone on here making the mistake of saying "I could care less"

Yeah it was there in 15, but missing last year, sadly!

wasn't this something to do with having 3 bonfires rather than the normal one?

I think the suspicion was that they were a victim of the weather-inflicted build problems last year.

Shame, hopefully some up there this year, liked listening to them in the breeze.

I've noticed this before and always wondered why people do it. It clearly makes no sense in the context in which it is used. Must be an American thing.

I often see other Americans going mad at them for getting it wrong. On the other hand, there are plenty of common English mistakes that I see on here that I rarely see on the tech sites I frequent!
