However, I can not say I’ve ever noticed the production. They are using a lot of felled trees to make the wooden fences that are between each stall. Plus the bonfires of course. Can you use wood chip from trees that are infected with die back? Or does that spread it into the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am no expert on this. I’m sure someone on here will have a better idea. But Ash die back is caused by a fungus that grows on leaves. So the stripped trees are surely ok? Just a guess.

Also wasn't the Greenfield Ship left in place a long time after the last festival, when did that get taken away? I don't think so either, they are still highlighting West Caravans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw his landrover in a shed in Kidlington recently, it was being electrified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Correct. It was just b4 Kenickie or something. Back in the day, the wood would have gone onto the campfire pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you opted for going up Clifton. It’s nice to run around the harbour from my work yeah. Though I do sometimes take the run from the bottom of Ashton court to the top and occasionally the hill up to Clifton. I live on the top of Portishead as well so any run from home usually starts with a 400ft decline and has to end with the opposite 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were opposite the little stage the pier had facing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdash79 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 You did have to go up some steps to get to the deck but I didn’t think it was that high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagelaureate Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Maybe it's just an emergency exit? Where @dotdash79's photo has a 'no exit' sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well be right. I only went there once so don’t remember a huge amount. Maybe it’s the perspective of the picture but Emily’s picture looks like the steps are going up quite a bit higher than the pier. Guess we’ll see in 39 days!

buddiepaul Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 As we have been looking at the lush green fields starting to be transformed for the festival, I thought I would remind myself what the end goal is. Here is Thursday evening 2019, and seeing this compared to where we are now has certainly got my excitement levels up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
