That’s a brave soul that is first to remove that after two years.

There was a bit of activity by the Pyramid earlier, I noticed. A few 4x4's and a couple of jeeps. Plus a saloon car. Must have been a fancy dressed person from one of them cities they've got now.

Is that the Rainbow Tower going up now, too?!

No, but you're right to look for it - it's one of the first things to be seen.

Glastocam makes me happy and excited.

[JoeyT]

Can't believe i'm typing this but it's actually quite exciting to see the longdrops being "woken up" 

Other highlights i'm looking forward to:

the fence going up

ribbon tower being built

the other stage being erected

glastonbury sign

when the tipis build starts

urinals going up in the pyramid field

trackway laid out across site

arcadia arriving

beat hotel tent coming in to view

gate a entrance on far right of the camera

ciderbus kicking up dust as it hurtles up the track behind the pyramid stage

the first evening when the sun is setting with the tor in the backdrop and those pathway lights get their first twinkling.

the arrival of the traders

It's the Pier I'm looking forward to the most. Unless it's right behind a tree, we should get a cracking view.

Was it 2016 when it broke down on route and panic ensued?

The bbc glastonbury website/cam has a 'hotspots' tab, that places markers on the photo to show you where each stage/thing is- good for this type of thing! (as I am hopeless at guessing which spot is which)

I think the back of the Pyramid went up today - not visible on cam but certainly plenty of action this morning with cherry picker

I also saw what look like people marking out of measuring in the field in front of the pyramid

19th October 2016 they started it. Took them a couple days to finish.

I predict that it will be a labyrinthine sheep pen that we will be discussing for weeks what it might mean.  

Then just before resale day on the 12th May the sheep are sent through and they spell...........

They went quite far back and to each side, it was only one bloke and he moved quite quickly (based on being at a different place each photo)

Toilets are starting to go in, these are to the right of the Pyramid.

Just behind the Pyramid to the left it looks like a stack of the toilet tops/doors.

I know it's wrong to be excited by the sight of Longdrops being installed but I can't help myself! ?

Count me in! I was about to indulge in a series of lavatorial puns eg feeling flushed seeing the long drops, but that would be childish.
