expecting people on the land no doubt :( 

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
