This is the other photo she posted on that feed.

The guy flying the paramotor is my mate who I'm going with as normal this year. He took the post festival aerial photos I posted a few years back.

Do we know what is happening with the webcam? Seems really strange that Emily should say that it was coming, then it came, and now its gone away again? Technical issues? Privacy? Hiding a surprise? Hiding the fact that they haven't yet taken down the crane base despite losing the planning case?

Whatever the reason, I hope it can be resolved soon, really miss the daily check in to see what has changed!

It's possible it was taken down intentionally to hide something. It seems somewhat suspect it went offline around the time activity was starting to pick up around the Pyramid.

I imagine with the Pyramid getting dressed this early, it could be in need of some checks/maintenance/repairs. With us all obsessively watching it, it wouldn't take long for a tabloid to pick up on it and put some daft spin on routine maintenance.

Glastonbury's Pyramid stage at risk of COLLAPSE as organisers race against time to carry out urgent repairs ahead of June's festival.

I don't really think anybody would run this story, but it's kind of funny to think about... they wouldn't run it would they? 😐

In the absence of the webcam I just found this deep in my bookmarks. Worth a look if you need a worthy farm fix!

I’d forgotten how absolutely enormous the site is.

Having walked around the site when nothing is there is seems a lot smaller. 
 

but that’s maybe because your not stopping ever 50 foot to look at something.

People say how big the site is, but I did that overlay thing on my house the other day and it’s actually a lot smaller than I thought it would be. The very top of the site takes me about 10/15 mins max to walk to. But there is obviously a huge amount packed into that space at Glastonbury, crowds in the way everywhere you go, sometimes less than perfect ground conditions, hardly any direct routes to anything, and as you say lots of things to do and see along any route, so it seems a lot bigger.

Just spent 20 minutes scrolling my way around the perimeter planning a fantasy break in attempt. I know how I'd do it.

Your house must be massive!

I just had a look at that - it's pretty much the same size as Canterbury city centre!

Yeah it's the same size as Manchester city centre!

[drunk pumpkin]

Don't forget that the map overlay doesn't include anything outside of the site. 

Car Park, campervan field's off site camping etc.

Add all them in it really shows how bloody large the full event is!

[kalifire]

It continues to grate that the BBC are ignoring tweets about this. They must see them. Three years (nearly) and we’re missing the Pyramid getting dressed. Ugh. 

[Madyaker]

I agree it's not good enough really.

And stuck in the flow of people and stuck in the glue like mud  … oh happy memories

Is it the BBC's responsibility to actually look after the webcam, or does somebody local need to pop out & reset it? 🙂

Whilst I love the webcam footage as much as anyone, let's keep it in perspective... It's not like we're promised it as part of our ticket T&Cs or anything!

I’m sure it’s a fairly simple task to sort though … hope it’s not part of budget cuts

Yeah, would be rubbish if that were the reason 🙁 

I always had it in my mind for some reason that the webcam was run on a "best endeavours" sort of basis by somebody on the farm and the BBC just used the stream. But I might have got that totally wrong.
