Could it be the pier arriving onsite?

Also something going on in the top part of the stone circle field, but hard to see.

top of Kings Meadow looks the usual pile of gash dumped there that will eventually be a bonfire.

Pier arrives differently and usually starts showing up later in May. Comes on flat beds directly to the flat area out of camera shot where the trailers are dumped prior to moving to location.  It arrives when it is needed, there is not enough room to leave it for a period.

Fencing will arrive on Sunbelt wagons and not closed containers or curtain siders.  Not seen the fence crew around yet.

Trailers down by Red are almost certainly being dragged across from the storage yard. Most are marked with where they go (Block 9, #2 etc).  Haven't run down that way to have a look this week.

Great info thanks . Hope the pyramid skin doesn’t land in your garden if they attempt to put it up with these winds

Would be a bad day to skin the Pyramid with Storm Noah on the way in from the west. Prob won't get much done today.

Looks like empty lorries returning to bus parking from the park stage area. Most likely parts of ribbon tower, fencing, or parts of stage? So annoying we don't have a full time detective on site lol.

 

the trailers may be full of Steanbow chickens, it is that time for them to go on holiday in the big trailers. You can smell when it is time when running on site, the doors to the sheds get opened ......

Good point, however these red trailers with yellow writing were dropped off yesterday. Also poultry trailers rent to have the covers folded up on the sides for ventilation.

Long drops are going in.

Ah how cute.  My wife had a dog once that went to live on a farm.  She often wonders how he's getting on......

Having a look on google maps, looks like here is where all of the trailers and caravans are stored for the fe estival. Would make sense as its only tractors hauling these trailers, not trucks. You can see this area on the left of the map, with the bus parking just down the road on the right. Although you guys probably knew this ahaha.

Pretty sure the place on the left is not directly connected to the Festival. If you zoom in, it's a trucking company called "A & R Gane & sons" so presumably it's their depot.

The place on the right is the Festival Coach Station (hence being covered in hard standing rather than grass) and is used for storage to a degree but out of season that tends to be more in a transient / farm related way I think.

Most (if not all) of the out of season storage for the Festival is further east than you're showing - the "red barn" across from the Festival office building is considered the primary store, and most of the rest is dumped a bit further east of that, in and around the Recycling Centre and Joe Rush's workshop. If you look just above the recycling centre and see what looks like a mosaic from the air - that's tens of thousands of painted bins stacked up.

I wonder if the new barns being built across from Mary’s Gate are part of the storage solution.

The Planning Permission has it as Cattle housing and Feed store - so in theory it's purely farm. Though I guess that may free up other currently used space nearer the farmhouse / offices.

Anyone else not able to access webcam this morning? Wonder if the wind has blown it away…….

Looks to me like it's stuck on an image from last night or very early this morning as I can see some lights where the houses are.
