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.

I remember back in the day we used to get wickedfairy panoramas … they were stunning … maybe pre web cam though … possibly asked to stop doing them ?

I’ll give it a nudge next time I run past it

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

I’ve just done the same for a bit of fun, reckon I’ve found the spot I’d give it a crack at.

Send me a DM to tell me where and we’ll see if we matched 😂

Can’t help but feel the lack of reply from the festival/Emily/BBC points towards it being off intentionally.

Trial run ? Of the frock … just to test for any damage … it is early

Could be that. They know people would freak out if they saw it getting dressed and then coming down again. Rumours would be ridiculous that the festival is being cancelled.

I think given this is the longest gap the festival hasn’t been on for, it makes sense to check the pyramid cover isn’t full of holes, so it makes sense to get it dressed early just in case.

Can’t see that happening, a big job putting it up, taking down then a few weeks later putting it up. Easy to check the covering without assembling it on the frame.  Anyway we have spies feeding us info and photos , switching off the camera won’t stop us finding out!  Could just be a technical problem with the camera. Irrespective of this I ain’t half missing it!

It could be a test before the live covering takes place on camera. 
 

Just think of it as a “Dress Rehearsal”

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

If it is the BBC they'd need to notice, flag with an engineer, get then out, find the problem, fix it. 

The closest staff are possibly Bristol but more likely London or even Salford. If anyone works for a large organisation you know how long anything 5skrd to get done.

My guess is it will come back on when Arcadia have announced that the spider is coming back, revealing that the Pangea base has been removed. 

Along with Arcadia’s area line up poster, which will be very strong.

I suspect its Arcadia related. I reckon the Pangea crane will be removed and the Spider will be back this year.

Are you suggesting that what we read on here may not always be correct??

Just digging a little for more info … as it matches what I heard and Stuie also thinks 

[kalifire]

A few more tweets about the cam aimed in Emily’s direction today. Surely they must be aware of it by now.

Hello @hfuhruhurr it seems that we are getting images every 5 mins now, until 18:05 and then they are every 15 mins - i.e. there are images at 17:55, 18:00, 18:05, 18:15, 18:25, etc. This has been since the webcam was switched back on - first image was 2022/03/09/14-30-00

Url doesn't now have a specific panodata number, it's just https://panodata.panomax.com also looks likes if you use that in place of the previous urls it takes you to the right numbered panodata.

i.e

https://panodata.panomax.com/cams/879/2019/06/30/13-50-00_default.jpg

takes you to

Not sure if you wanted to update your website 🙂

Have awoken from slumber - is the webcam back up reliably or is it still playing up?

If it's back I'll update my site - been a while since I looked at this, so sorry for late reply.

[westholtschic]

Still not working yet. 😢

Pyramid dress going for keeps according to Emily. Seems quite early that?

Maybe it’s a bit stinky after 3 years in the loft..  I know my tent needs a better airing before June 🤣

Didn't they put it up early a few years ago for some event in the weeks preceding the festival?
