This is in the common field mate. Where the temple will be. In the SE corner opposite shangri la and just off the railway line but I'm sure you will have a good scout and find it.

I must have missed it whilst working in my bat cave. These 3 foot thick walls are a bugger to see through sometimes . When I went out walking it was clear and sunny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionstations Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I was looking at webcam images from this time in 2017, and by that point the ribbon tower was almost half-built... but then I remembered that the festival was 5 days earlier that year than this year... so we can expect some ribbon tower construction in the next week!

In a time-lapse like this, it reminds of the stat you hear around 'If the whole of existence was a day, humans would appear at around 2 seconds to midnight'. Seeing the activity flare up for 5 days, after months of prep, is quite humbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing to see that at this point in the 2019 Pyramid development, the 2016 Park stage was up, the fence was going good guns and work on the Other had begun. They've put up our Lady Pyramid early this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, don’t know if I imagined it but last year taking a walk over the site I am sure I detected a slight whiff of that distinctive disinfectant they use as we walked passed the hitchin hill covered over drops! Brought back some memories! That bottom photo looks slightly creepy, taking the photo of long drops from behind a thorn bush!!

All washed out and no noticeable smell that I could detect. Ha ha ... I wasn’t sat in a bush. I was walking on the road that runs parallel to the farm track (which is really busy ), by the farm house. There is a row of thorn bushes there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
