Is that the temple, sorry?

Yes it's really muggy today, glad its my recovery day. Yesterday up a 400ft hill was bare pains.

They should definitely make that crane base into a cool sculpture that could stay.

But it’s not allowed to stay… That’s the problem!

Arcrania should consider itself lucky... most old cranes just get scrapped but he/she had a starring role in a major party and then got nearly 3 years living in the countryside before getting melted down. 

This is exactly how I would like my final few years to be !

Wonder if they'll be able to repurpose the various parts of the crane into something more easily removable. I guess it's probably very heavy which might be problematic.

Whilst it clearly can't be said to have been successful it was very unique and it'd be a shame not to further explore the idea of having something that tall doing stuff.

Clearing up a bit now - can see the full span of fencing that's been built in the SE - just about. image.png.f5118eedfc28487cfc5cbfe7fc7a9906.png 

Cherry picker back in action at Arcrania:

Think this shows the state of the ground well: there's clearly been decent rainfall overnight as it's standing on the metal flooring, but the tracks all around the site have easily soaked it up and are looking dry again already.

Can they take Glastonbury-on-Sea away with Pangea?

Interesting....we missed out 2019 so this will be first time for us.  What is general opinion of GoS....great fun addition....or short lived gimmick?

I liked it. Didn't really think it presented anything to not like to be honest. A harmless, nice little addition in my book but do tend to see a lot of negative comments.

Another thing to me that hadn’t quite achieved its potential …. Although I’d say it has less scope for development than Pangea … it was clearly a RUSH job to get it finished

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
