Underneath and behind the pier I wonder?

The move is because of the pier. That much I do know but I don’t yet know where it will go. Won’t be long and the evidence will be there for all to see on the webcam (or my lunchtime walk ? ).

Dee is there ever a point in the build of the festival where even you get stopped from having a wonder around?

Yes. On the Sunday before you have to have a wristband. So depending on if I have that or not will be the point I can/ can’t go on site.

however, it gets so busy in June that I don’t want to get in the way, so I tend to stay away once the fence is finished. 

Some time in May a sign goes up that asks you not to enter and then at the end of May/ beginning of June there is security on the site entrances so you can’t go on site via these roads.

Spent a weeks holiday in the village last June and walked the site most days. Also we enjoyed walking the lanes and small roads around the perimeter of the site. The transformation from farmland to festival is amazing. Enjoy your lunchtime walk!

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.

Altogether now,

The old home town looks the same
as I step down from the train
And there to meet me
is my Mama and Papa.
 
Down the road I look
and there runs Mary
hair of gold
and lips like cherries.
 
It's good to touch
the green, green grass of home.

The farmers want to get 1 more silage cut done before the festival.

I love it when they cut it right up to the wire before they start laying down infrastructure in a field. Result is a nice straw layer which is more shower resistant and often drier to sit on and smells great.

Is that a cement mixer in Arcadia ?? Footings for something big going in ?

I had a wander around today. I'll put some pics up later but that's about as close as I could get to what they are doing in Arcadia

A few from our walk on site earlier today. No spoilers for anyone wanting stuff to stay secret as I think they are keeping the main build until once the fence is up. However they are digging some foundations down in the Arcadia field and after a quick chat with one of the construction guys all he would reveal was what they had planned was amazing and will need what they are putting in place which is exciting. Amazing to see the site starting to come to life now, theres not long left to wait!! ?

Isn't that middle photo the underground piano bar

 Certianly looks like it to me, before it gets covered and concealed, especially with the other photos you took nearby of the dragon?

I thought the same but my (fuzzy I admit) memory doesn’t remember there being raised sides on each side of the entrance? I almost remember the entrance being on a corner?

Having said that I don’t know what else it could be if it isn’t that.

No there are raised sides where you sit once you get in to the main 'arena'! The photo is taken above where you crawl in. Once you get through the tunnel that's what's inside if I remember correctly. Also vaguely remember it having a small upstairs but I was wasted. Really clever stuff

    • Cool, if potentially completely exhausting, idea.
    • We don't have any choice but I don't need a t-shirt for it! 🙂    On the bright side, it gets it out of the way for a nice 5 year run... notwithstanding wars, new contagious diseases and apocalypse.
