Had a look at the Glastonbury Tor live webcam, lot of folk climbing the Tor ,   I wish I was there! Looks fantastic.

Surely in the current circumstances, all the signage, social media warnings , press reports no one would attempt to access the site at this time? Plenty time to visit in the future once permission is granted!  A few security personnel on a quad bike might be needed.

6,000 people attended illegal raves in Manchester this weekend. People are dumb.

Come the end of June I will be missing the smell of that distinctive disinfectant and the symphony of clanging doors. 

This may help, you'll have to provide your own fragrance

Obviously the more dedicated someone is to the festival and understands the whole ethos of the festival the less likely they are to disobey the explicit instructions of the Eavis family.  Disregard  these instructions and it could have implications for future access which would affect all of us.

Might just be for the cows however

Probably.  Wouldn’t want them wandering up to the stone circle!

No they are doing digging work there. It's to keep the cows and odd person out. Nothing out of the ordinary

Thanks, It’s nice to have eyes and ears close by to the site feeding us the info.   I can understand the cows might lack the sense to stay out as even the Eavis cows can’t read but have no sympathy for the odd person!

the roadway from the back of the pyramid field to the kids and acoustic areas can get rather muddy in a wet year, maybe that needs a bit of drainage. A prime spot to watch mud surfing by those who seem to enjoy it.

Yep I realised that later ...  thanks  far too many conspiracy theories and rumours floating about without me starting more

Looks a bit damp this morning, the cows are sheltering under the trees.

Torrential downpour in Somerset at the moment.

Would not have been good for the last minute build!

[deebeedoobee]

It’s raining in Pilton but not biblical. Would have damped the dust is all.

Even in this non festival year your weather reports have a calming effect better than any nerve tonic. Much better and more accurate than the prophets of doom on the weather thread!

Just the difference between those that think they know and those of us who are actually in Pilton and can tell it as it is.

👍  true, it seems to have its own micro climate! Must be something to do with the leylines!

we stayed extremely close to the site for a holiday during the last fallow year and had this wonderful view

Looks like a number portacabins have been set up, and a trailer. 

[giantkatestacks]

and the cows are all having a nice lie down. So gutted still and cant say anything IRL as to other people it seems inconsequential which I suppose it is but I'm still very sad.

Stab in the dark, but could the BBC be broadcasting their links from the (empty) site this weekend?

That would just be asking for trouble and a lot of people to turn up. 

maybe they are putting security on to stop people who want to go to the farm, didn’t they do that in 2018?

[incident]

Don't remember if they did it before, but yeah that'd make more sense.

[Pinhead]

I reckon that's a good guess and excited at the prospect even if it is a link from an empty load of fields.... Still, they are those fields aren't they!
