Some friends went for a wander there a few weeks ago and the crane was there then. FYI. #CraneReport

Hello, old friend.

[Losing my hair]

It's so good to have this back, beautiful morning at the farm. Even more nerves about T day now.

I would love to think that but bloody expensive way of doing it?  We need a crane expert.

Heavy banner? Has to cope with wind? Funny looking crane as can't see a counterweight...

Not an expert but it looks like a self erecting tower crane which have the counterweights at the base of the crane. Remote controlled from ground level, so no Tower Crane Driver to get lonely, with limited lifting capacity they're normally used where there is limited space so I've no idea why they need one in the middle of a field.

Thanks for the belief in my abilities .

I work in construction & you pick up a bit of knowledge.

Leaving aside CraneGate, it is nice to see cows in the fields.

Someone ring that phone number on the crane and ask them what it was booked for.  Put on an Eavis voice.

[Gwladboy]

The crane has been lowered.  What could this mean?

I was thinking that.

It's probably got something to do with the works they were doing a few months back at the farm.

Yeah this is my thought too as when I was there in August they were still doing works there and judging by the cam its the same place so should be connected. I'm struggling to think which area it is from memory though- maybe Hawkwell or Michael's mead as both of those were on a hill

I wonder if Hawkwell will be available to camp in this time around then. Another reason to look forward to the map!
