What do you have against Kevin?

“How was your breakfast Kev? Good stuff?”

“Every decently-made breakfast, such as like a house to a lamp post to a bridge, spoon or egg cup, is not just a piece of 'stuff' but a physical embodiment of human energy, testimony to the magical ability of our species to take raw materials and turn them into things of use, value and beauty”

”Ok. I’m just off for a shit. Put your stuff - I mean the physical embodiment of my human energy - in the dishwasher”

Things seem to have stalled a bit now. I’m anxious for the Pyramid to at least get the third side on!

I’m wondering if their airing each side out for a couple of days before adding another side. Given it’s all been in storage for couple of years maybe letting the sun shine on inside dries/burns off any damp etc

I think we can agree on that we just want to see the people on his shows suffering with their builds, and cut this pretentious nonsense short. Other than that he has something likeable, but I fear he's a twat in real life.

After searching for a quote to bastardise (above) I think the opposite is true: he seems a pretentatwat on the show (that’s his job, I guess) and he seems pretty decent IRL. Maybe!

Anyhoo, on topic, I think a new doc about the build / setting up the festival crossed with the whole booking bands process would be amazing. An update of some of the older series / docs perhaps, but more up-to-date. 

Chuck in some Camp Kerala stuff too just get us all fuming.

Kev is alright, I’ve seen/met him in bar downstairs from work. He’s good friends with the architect that owns it.  Don’t forget the magic of grand designs bingo and how he got wind and played along one episode.

Not sure they've stalled, lots of tractors carrying around long drop paraphernalia.

Also there are people in the cherry picker!:

Cool wee dude, 15 years and he will be headlining pyramid. The Pom bears, decent band name!  I am so jealous of folk who live a short drive away from the site!

What the hell is going on with the earth works there? New hard road?

Most probably landscaping of excess mud from where the Anaerobic Digester is.

There's talk of quarry activity at Hitchen Hill. Is that about the right place?

Nah, that's further up Hitchin Hill & actually outside the fence. The dug out rectangle at the top left is the extraction site.

I see now. Just next to the small orchard close to the restored tithe barn.

There is a way to do it but I can never remember. Either look back through the thread or wait for @Dukeicon to come along.

Yeah way too early. In 2016 it got stuck in the mud on the way in on the Tuesday. 

Broke down one year on the way in too iirc. Was halfway down road to Pyramid and had to be towed rest of the way to its normal place.

For the images in the archive, like the one I posted, just amend the red bits in the url below to find the date/time you are looking for.
