Alvoram Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 3 minutes ago, DareToDibble said: From memory I think I've been for a walk around the farm in early August in previous years so it may only be a few weeks. There wasn't really much left by that stage other than the Pyramid shell as always and some of the Ribbon Tower was there too. Are Michael and the other land owners generally ok with you walking around off the recognised paths? As long as you are just exploring and nothing else? Seems we have little rights to do that. Would you be expected to stick to the private farm tracks? Or is wandering into the woods, / fields ok? I live in a similar sized area of farmland and countryside in Derbyshire, but there are a LOT more recognised public rights of way, and as long as we respect the land, we're generally allowed anywhere. But I wouldn't want to assume that was the case everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wouldn't want to assume that was the case everywhere. Within reason, they're normally fine with us walking anywhere as long as we're respectful. For example I have sat in front of the pyramid, walked up the hill to where the sign would be, over to stone circle etc. None of those are directly on paths. Although there are times when I've been and they have wire down around some of the field (I assume to stop the cows escaping) so I don't go through those fields.

Ell99 Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Farm almost completely back to normal now - just some fence, the pyramid dressing and the Glasto on Sea crew still chugging away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasto on Sea will have to start the build a week after they finish the tear down I think 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all noticed in 2016, but I don't remember there being much talk of it in 2017, and certainly not in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 It’s a lot of effort for the pier, isn’t it? I mean I think it’s great but when you consider they’re at it for a good 3 months+, is it worth it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deebeedoobee Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Still lorry after lorry leaving daily with trackway and heras fencing. You can always tell the heras fencing lorries as they make a distinctive noise as the lorries use their breaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 The Comms tent has disappeared as well. Nearing the very end now. Just the final bit of the fence and the dress. Then, let ticket day dread commence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially around the back of recycling and the bin painters area. Quite a lot of vehicles and stuff being moved. There are some cows out as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
