I think that the Arcadia field is actually part of another farm. Steanbow?

Park farm isn't it? Steanbow is right next to GateA? IIRC Worthy Farm Boundary doesn't go past the pyramid field but snakes all the way down to some of the SE corner.

I've always been curious about how much GFE pay for the land every year, seems like a monumental disruption for the other farms they must have ultimate bragging rights living inside the festival though

Wasn’t it more that they had to renew all of the safety certificates that was prohibitive rather than the actual dismantling?

They'd have to do safety certificates every year even if it'd stayed. It's only the fixed base that was left there. The crane infrastructure, etc would have to be reattached every year and redo safety certs

Kind of looks a bit small and pathetic now lying on it's side.  Never had a chance to grow and flourish.

And right up to stone circle I believe. All the oldest parts of the festival, green fields, west holts, markets and pyramid etc. there must be a map somewhere but I don’t think it covers Pennard hill but could be wrong.

 

there must be a map somewhere in in the depths of the forums.

A soggy morning in Somerset!  At least the cam isn't too misted up. 

[JoeyT]

Certainly a morning to be thankful to all those on the farm setting up for us rabble!

Can't imagine it'll be a pleasant one down there for them all.

[al_coholic]

Can someone wipe the camera please so we can see the Other stage lift 

[bexj]

We're so demanding aren't we!  They're in the middle of building the biggest party in the world but we want them to wipe the camera so we can watch them!  

 

But you're right! 

[al_coholic]

Yay - someone has wiped it. 

[JayBalls]

Oooo errrrrrr

[bigroddman]

the one day there is big frigging progress on the other stage and the camera decides to fog up. the forces are against us today

[tumbles]

Looking at previous years they only tend to lift the support pillars on the OS and don't hoist the rest of it up till closer to the festival so we're not missing that much.

[Neville Street]

It’s kind of clearing, maybe it’s mizzle/mist not actually on the camera?

The main benefit of that particular type of stage is that you can install anything you need - lights, etc - at near enough ground level and then lift the roof with it all in place - so I wouldn't expect the roof to be lifted for quite a while anyway.
