Imagine if there was no webcam 👀

That would mean that the fence wouldn’t be he and Pangea she ….  It might also mean that the productivity of the U.K. in the run up to June massively increases

They’ve been there for years. One of the cubicles collapsed on the Saturday night/Sunday morning in 2014 and someone ended up in the wheelie bin beneath. That’ll teach them for hovering over the seat!

Beautiful, going up to our caravan again this weekend for my birthday. Can’t wait.

First signs of the simultaneous fence build?

Good spot!! Nobody up on the farm yet, it’s 6am, the sun is up, don’t they know we have a party there in 5 weeks time 🙂

5 weeks to the day 🥳 I wonder when we will start seeing stage tents

Other Stage backstage tent going up now. They still haven't finished clearing the crane away but must be nearly there.

In case anyone was wondering, like me, roughly when we might see the Glastonbury sign on the hill.....had a quick search back through the thread - and it was pretty late in 2019 - June 18th/19th

[nusha]

A hive of activity this morning - so much going on ☺️

First raver on site:

Another set of Compost loos has appeared if you can find them 🤔

Well that's me never using them again. My word. The horror.

Imagine the long drops collapsed. You'd be in a whole world of shit.

Looks like some trucks up at Worthy View, might be dropping of tents.

Any ideas on how long it takes to set up all those tents?

I've heard that for a smaller boutique camp site they start 3 weeks before 1st arrival, but that is a small crew.

I'm sure I've seen someone on here say's a relation works there and it's about 4 weeks.

Some of them don;t go up until a week or two before from memory

It's a serious amount of canvas.

As long as they put ours about six rows from  the entrance to the area with the food tents and not next to a walkway.😊.  Ideal the last time we were there!

It did happen, at least a couple times at the same festival. I want to say 2013, but could be earlier than that by up to about 5 years.

It's been covered before, but essentially the long drops used to have a wood covering with regular toilet seats stuck on them, before they started moving to the easier to clean modular ?plastic? style we have now. Only problem was that first batch of the modular style wasn't strong enough (again presumably because they didn't expect people to stand on them) and at least a couple of them gave way that year.
