Wait, other parts of the crane have arrived.... Does this mean it's staying!?

I'd guess they would want to remove Pangea first....although with no sign of any activity all week I'm a bit dubious the rumoured removal this week is happening.

Yeah, not happening today, is it? 

I'm starting to think that the festival have purposely thrown some rumours out to muddy the waters. The info regarding the removal this week came directly from a very well-placed source.

I heard some other outlandish stuff last night that I'm not going to repeat. Again, it came from within the organisation but it's so nuts, it can't be true.

They're building another crane on top of the crane, aren't they?

Pangea *and* Spider?

[Sku]

Yes, the jib part of the crane has been visible on the webcam for at least a week now, and was even pointed out in this thread when it was delivered. Yet the "it's being removed" rumours persisted.

Funny how a rumour can take hold, when the facts are staring you in the face on the webcam.

Pander - they combine to form a giant fire-breathing panda. Only logical conclusion.

Is it, whereabouts?

Was just having a random thought about the crane, obviously they’ve covered the thing in green paint to try and make it blend in and sneak it past the council planners, but the cab is also completely covered and last time there was a guy in their doing the operation. Presumably they’ve strayed it with something that’s easy to remove, but that must be a ballache?

It's near all the containers around PGA. It's a bit difficult to make out on the webcam, it depends on the light conditions if it's easy to make out or not. I only realised it was the crane, because someone already pointed out earlier in the thread that's what it was, rather than because of my own supervision or anything.

Yes, good point. Must still be a pain to strip it all off the rest of it though.

Go back a page and @deebeedoobee has taken a closer pic of it today

[Blisterpack]

Any sign of the (admittedly batshit crazy) story I heard of a ‘bridge’ being built from Worthy View into the site?

have a huge fly attached to the crane that goes round - and the spider eats it at the end of each set and it reveals the next act,  who was in the fly the whole time

So they have, thank you!

So the crane was apparently being dismantled this week, but in fact it hasn’t and they’ve actually had the boom for it delivered instead? 🤔

Apparently last time a random bridge was being built on site it was one of the Pilton based stage companies practicing for another festival they had later on.

@crazyfool1 Pangea back after all...?

Odd … I’ve heard from 2 sources it’s going … happy to say I’m likely wrong if I am though … has it been delivered ? Or removed from storage would be my only question ? Ready for collection 

[tarw]

Are they using the crane to build the spider and then when it’s finished taking the crane away?

save having to bring one in and might as well make use of the safety certificate
