Glastocam!

[tumbles]

Quite a bit of activity on the pyramid field this morning.  

[blutarsky]

0930 Three or four vehicles in the William's Green area, around about the Bandstand's location. 

Cherry picker in operation by the new bunkabins, plus the door to one of them is open. 

Portaloo now on site to the left of the Pyramid.

Im just concerned about all the extra hills they have built over to the right hand side of the image 🙂 

 

Assume something has gone wrong with the stitching togther of the pictures but i think id feel a bit sea sick walking around John Peel, and Silve rHayes if they dont iron the fields 🙂

Is that some kind of new signage towards the top of the Park field, on the Pennards side?

I wonder when we can expect the pier to start being built? That must be one of the earliest projects to start.

It won't be the stitching together - I mentioned a few days ago that the camera is basically on top of a pole coming out of a box in the corner of the farm yard - if the camera is caught by the wind when it's taking the shot, you can get a wavy effect.

If you mean this, it was put up in 2019 and seems to have remained since then.

 

In 2019, the first glimpse of stuff being dropped off for the pier was 09:40 on 7th May. They did setup the longdrops in that area before then though, but I can't see anything pier related before then. Based on the fact they nearly didn't finish everything in 2019, I'd expect them to start earlier than that this year.

From what I can see, the Greenpeace area is one of the first to start the setup, in 2019 there were things in their field from 16th April.

either that or chuck some extra labour at it ....it would also be easier second time around i would guess ...

Long drops are being pumped out now. Yesterday was the turn of the pyramid field ones.

They were there in October 2020

Was about to make that comment myself. Thousands  of three year old  turds marinated in gallons and gallons of well matured urine doesn’t bear thinking about.

Nothing compared to the thick perfume rising from the fields this week following the pumping of cow juice on them. Those fields don’t get that lush green colour from rain alone.

[kalifire]

What do we think all those things are being dropped off in the Pyramid field? Too early for generators?

Now you’re making me wonder what’s in those giant Carlsberg tankers you see on site.

Not sure, but to my eyes they don't really look like generators.

My best guess is Elsan points? But I'm a long way from confident on that and could be wrong.

Here's my Javascript tool for retrieving webcam images, including stitching together the super high resolution images if they're available:

https://www.tievolu.co.uk/glasto/GlastoWebcamTool.html

Choose your date/time then click the image to download the highest resolution available in a new window. If the super high resolution image parts don't exist, or can't be downloaded for some reason, it downloads the "default" resolution instead.

Note: I can't be bothered to make it look nicer 😀

(I've had to use an open CORS proxy because the server responses for the older high resolution part images don't have the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header set. This seems to be an oversight, because recent snapshots have Access-Control-Allow-Origin set to allow all origins, as do the redirect URLs for the old images - but the response when retrieving the final URL does not. The CORS proxy is a bit of a fudge, and it's limited to 5 requests per second so it might not work properly sometimes.)

Anyone who lives in a rural area like we do is well aware of the stinky slurry spreading season.!   It was strange to see back in the fallow year of 2018 when we had a wee holiday in Pilton that the spring ground down to the JP was a field of cereal .   So different from seeing it full of tents.

this is particularly excellent for anyone wondering what time the campsites fill up / trying to persaude their mates the genuine necessity to set off that extra hour earlier

[giantkatestacks]

@Cheesey you are a genius - now I can watch us work every morning!

Yeah I was just doing this.

When it comes to some of the more popular campsites that are in shot:
-9am plenty
-10am should be able to find a bit of space here and there
-11am your gonna have to search and squeeze in
-Midday "How about that spot next to the longdrops?"
