The cherry picker is definitely moving about in between shots, but can't see what it's doing!

wow the farm is looking busy today ... loads of visitors .... I reckon they need to get those long drops finished soon  

[Ayrshire Chris]

A quick look there, seems quite a few folk wandering the pyramid field and beyond. I am extremely jealous.  How long until it becomes off limits? I would imagine when heavy plant is moving about.  When we visited last June the whole place was deserted.

Visits to the site seem to have really increased this year, hopefully with that increased footfall the farm and surrounding area keeps being respected. Happily it was a week ago.

Exactly that. There's usually a sign that gets posted, asking the public to avoid the site from that point. The fence erection must be imminent, maybe within the next fortnight?

[Ayrshire Chris]

Also hope those visiting from afar respect the village and it’s inhabitants as well as the site especially in relation to parking cars. Visiting last year I thought they were throughly decent folk, friendly and helpful.  Especially in the pub! 

[Crazyfool01]

Everything seems earlier this year .. and with the social media signing thing I would expect this to be earlier too ... the site in lockdown is far easier to control and there are going to be some massive things arriving for Arcadia and the pier so think they would like it locked down before they start these don’t like to think of consequences should a member of public get hurt in the run up

Absolutely this. Stopped for a drink in the Apple Tree after walking round last Sunday. Staff were lovely

Fence goes up 1st of May this year, according to Emily in her interview with Rob da Bank, on his podcast.

[kalifire]

Aye, we're about a week away from the fence, after which I'd imagine accessibility is significantly reduced and the build proper can begin.

All the stuff stacked to the right of the pyramid - could it be the stage ?

Must be, there's another lorry load there now. That's at least 3 today.

Interesting. Can't see it going South East so maybe towards The Woods or does it have to be quieter there at night?

I don't like change! Crows Nest and Rabbit Hole in Park is one of my favourite little areas. My 'go to place' if I need a break from the crowds or at a loose end. Was nice nipping between the two and it was almost a secret area at the top of Park. 

Hopefully it's a well thought out move and not just plonking it somewhere. If I could choose, I'd put it up by JP / The Woods to help create more of an area up there.

I can understand that, but I'd rather not have something on the polar opposite end of site that I might want to go to.

Looks like more activity in Arcadia field?

Yep some movement and a lorry have turned up.

I had a flying visit to the site yesterday and walked up to Arcadia field....from my pic all I can see is a generator and few bits.

The build will start very soon I reckon.
