Glastocam!

[Ayrshire Chris]

Marquees and tents now disappearing leaving only the ghostly imprints on the grass where they once stood

But

Ready to return in less than two years time😊

I have said it before in this very thread... But my word watching that place being taken apart is bloody depressing! 

 

Almost wish they turned the camera off on Sunday night and then turned it back on the April before a festival so we can watch the place being built.. 

I’d say turn it off until August when there is no sign of the festival! I’d rather the the cow back in their habitat then the festival being torn apart!

I’ve said this before as well, but I couldn’t disagree more. Watching the return to nature is as awe-inspiring as the build itself. An urban-esque city doesn’t belong on those fields. So as awesome as it is to see it turn into something so magical for humans for five days, to see it return back to what it should be is fantastic as well.

First time post event litter picking for me and some family and friends. I was worried it would be depressing, but it was really cool, seeing teams of people working away taking down everything from The Park to Block 9, picking clean the camping fields. Really enjoyed it. I know it could be tougher in a rainy year, but it was a great way to come down.

Agreed, it’s incredible when we visit the site when the festival isn’t on how there’s very little left of it, apart from the pyramid skeleton, long drop covers and the walkways in the woods. No litter and nature returned. This year I reckon once it’s cleared they will be anxious for a bit of rain to get this revitalised. It must be like a desert at the moment.

Site looks like a dust bowl .... those cows wont have much grass to feed on once released

Yes, they will be wanting some rain after everything is cleared up

Is that an ice cream van on site.? Reckon it’s the KLF getting ready to headline 27😊😉

Pyramid and Other seem to be taking a bit longer to dismantle this year, or is it just me?

The heat won’t be helping their productivity 😊😉. Must admit, I’d be dragging out the job if I was doing it.m

Looks to be about the same as last year.

A longer sleep than usual. The site looks really parched.

It’s been 33-34 degrees up here last 3 days. Hotter than Mr Hot the hottest man in the world

Moon over the Tor from the farm cam tonight

 

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Geology and the Tor;

 

Here's a more detailed look at the geology:

• Underlying Layers:

  Beneath the Bridport Sands are older Jurassic rocks, including clays and limestones. 

   

• Erosion:

  The Somerset Levels, the low-lying area surrounding the Tor, were once much higher, but over time, softer rocks eroded, leaving the harder sandstone of the Tor as a distinct hill. 

   

• Iron Content:

  The iron within the Bridport Sands is thought to have played a crucial role in its resistance to erosion, as it created a harder, more durable rock. 

   

• Fata Morgana:

  The Tor's appearance can be affected by optical phenomena like Fata Morgana, where light is bent by temperature differences in the air, making the Tor appear to rise from the mist, according to Wikipedia. 

   

• Human Impact:

  The Tor has been modified by human activity throughout history, with evidence of terraces, possibly for medieval farming, and earlier structures. 

• Composition:

  The top of the Tor is made of Bridport Sands, a formation known for its iron content, which likely helped it withstand erosion.

excellent, love a bit of scientific data about the Tor.  Here’s some more, looking at the Glasto cam at the moment, it’s absolutely pishing down.😊😉

all that remains are the Pyramid covers! Will be a distant memory in a matter of days.
