My guess is the spider will arrive, and craneface will be taken away on the transport that spider arrives on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebeedoobee Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 In case anyone is interested, here's a few things from my run today. * powered by Idles *urinals being attached to long drops on railway line. I can confirm that the longdrops at the Acoustic field still clang. * high lift thingy working in the Glade. * Joe Rush is busy in his workshop. No photos for obvious reasons * bin painting is going on *The red jib part of the crane has arrived * Big Dog's favourite part of the festival is looking lovely in the sun. * Mary's gate rainfall measure is at zero. All the tracks are hard and dusty. Apart from that its very busy. Lots of workers on site now. 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not happening today, is it? I'm starting to think that the festival have purposely thrown some rumours out to muddy the waters. The info regarding the removal this week came directly from a very well-placed source. I heard some other outlandish stuff last night that I'm not going to repeat. Again, it came from within the organisation but it's so nuts, it can't be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sku Posted April 22, 2022 Report Share Posted April 22, 2022 Yes, the jib part of the crane has been visible on the webcam for at least a week now, and was even pointed out in this thread when it was delivered. Yet the "it's being removed" rumours persisted. Funny how a rumour can take hold, when the facts are staring you in the face on the webcam.

Was just having a random thought about the crane, obviously they’ve covered the thing in green paint to try and make it blend in and sneak it past the council planners, but the cab is also completely covered and last time there was a guy in their doing the operation. Presumably they’ve strayed it with something that’s easy to remove, but that must be a ballache?

It's a bit difficult to make out on the webcam, it depends on the light conditions if it's easy to make out or not. I only realised it was the crane, because someone already pointed out earlier in the thread that's what it was, rather than because of my own supervision or anything.

So the crane was apparently being dismantled this week, but in fact it hasn’t and they’ve actually had the boom for it delivered instead? 🤔 Edited April 22, 2022 by Deaf Nobby Burton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
