Ok just for you saddos that like watching paint dry, here are some photos from this afternoon.  Sorry about the quality but I haven't perfected the running/photo taking.

To note:

Nothing going on at arcrania

Her dress is now by pyramid

Pathed cleared in woods on RHS of JP field

Possible long drops going in at williams green or just drainage works.

Mens urinal troughs out being aired( no photo of that cos that would be just too weird)

Paths very dusty

Pyramid field fenced off because they are spraying the field with something vile smelling...I'll leave that up to your imagination

Brilliant! Thanks for that! @deebeedoobee. Has the crown reopened yet?  Builders were busy when we were down visiting in late January.

Spoke to the guv and he said it is not likely to be open until june unfortunately. They are doing a huge renovation and keep uncovering problems. They want to do it right and do it once so it will take longer.

Cheers, when we wandered past there was scaffolding up.  I’m sure it will be worth the wait. Apart from the festival we visit quite often and been missing popping into the crown

Scaf is gone, roof redone, jackdaws evicted from chimneys, repointed outside. Inside the skittle alley has gone along with a wall to make a restaurant area, interior gutted and being redone. Flat upstairs redone and they intend to put an air b&b up there. The bar will be in the same place but everything else will be  redone.

Will be fab, just need it back open.

I made a visit to the farm on 29/03/17 and they had just sprayed the pyramid field with that stuff then as well. We didn’t actually notice that the time though, until we got back in the car and noticed the vile smell coming from our dog, if you look at his paws in the picture you can see they’re covered in it, he absolutely stank for a week afterwards. Must be something they do at this exact time every year though:

The dress is next to the Pyramid and the webcam is off.

We’ve waited so long to see her get her frock on again & we’re probably about to miss out on the excitement that brings.

Absolute clusterfuck.

Yes, but there must be a valid reason for it being switched off.  In the meantime thank god for @deebeedoobee cam!

    • 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.
