al_coholic Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 When do we normally expect the fence build to start? I can't remember, and where does it normally first come into view on the camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time started around the top of Pennards so was on the camera pretty quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) More long drops spotted! I think maybe after Easter it'll ramp up a bit. More activity in the Greenpeace field, and Glastonbury On Sea. Edited April 13, 2022 by kalifire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) I asked the fence/track suppliers when their build might start and got this back on Monday. Edited April 13, 2022 by kalifire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they're supplying equipment for the Pylon work for Hinkley Point C as well. You certainly won't miss these new pylons when you head down the M5 for the festival. They look like massive Ski Lift posts going along all of the Somerset Levels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope its generally following the route of the M5 from Bridgwater to Avonmouth/Seabank Powerstation They're quite different beasts thou This ends #pylon chat for today 😁 Edited April 13, 2022 by tumbles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Ah, those ski lift ones... They were supposed to be the final replacement for all the supergrid ones from the 50's/60's were'nt they (remember seeing a pic of them in the news some years ago), at least where they cound'nt be buried? Which line runs through the site - the Bridgewater or Chruchill one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebeedoobee Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 A moist run today. Quite refreshing. Very busy on site. All the gubbins is out and laying beside each longdrop site. The little white flags are out marking where the traders go etc Red gate is full of containers. Track levelling is going on all over the site which makes for a great level running surface. Each area has stuff appearing as they start to lay things out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love driving over the track- especially the metal stuff. It really feels like the beginning of the festival when you get that far into the car park!
