It is muck/slurry they spread on the freshly cut fields, standard farming procedure, will ensure a nice lush green coating of grass by the time we arrive

That's a thin liquor not thick muck to leave the fields all brown like they looked, and all washes away with a rain or two.

And as there will be no rain, it'll stay that way

[I am Jon]

No. Not at all lol not a chance

The cows and all such have been gone for weeks to ensure it's all sun baked into sterility

Looks like muck to me:

I hope they know what they're doing......

they do. They want - need - the grass to grow.

It's a part of what they do to try and stop it getting muddy.

Fence is coming along nicely now, looking busy round the pyramid this afternoon.

[Gnomicide]

Short cut and a healthy layer of shit is the Pyramid equivalent to a back, crack and sack.

A bit similar to my own.

slurry spreading vs muck spreading

not meaning to be a dick, just makes a big difference in what the ground will be like after a week. Muck takes longer to break down, slurry's like adding liquid fertilizer it makes the grass jump up and leaves little residue they do know what they're doing

they spread chicken muck next to my work a few weeks back, good fucking lord i never wanted to smell that again

Bit of trench digging in the pyramid field this morning

Edited May 28, 2015 by JayBalls

[Padgey]

I'm gonna sit and watch diggers all day!

[Bubblecup]

Any idea as to the purpose of the trench?

Most likely a cable for something though could be for land flex/drainage ?

[Spindles]

Looking absolutely beautiful at the moment, sun glaring by the Tor. They've really cracked on with the fence the last couple of days, impressive work.

[kalifire]

The pyramid arena trench is intriguing.

Meanwhile, how far right does the view of the fence go - is that Gate A on the far right?

[JayBalls]

Gate A is by those green barns to the right.

[briddj]

Grimsby down the farm today.

[Padgey]

Just had a good downpour here in Wiltshire which looks as though it hit the farm with those puddles forming by the Pyramid.

Trench march 2 is well underway

[JoeyT]

Is that the hat of the park tower to the left of the pyramid stage next to the digger?

Edit: now gone. hopefully on it's way up to it's rightful place.

I don't think so, to me it just looks like generators and other boxes of 'stuff'

It's gone now. In hindsight I should have screenshotted then posted it here. Forget there's only a 5 minute window from seeing something to it changing again!

[ghandi]

it's certainly taking a while to get the new Other stage up, it's been skeletal for a few days now

Not sure, but looks like they are building the roof at ground level then winch the whole lot up in one piece?
