Is this the link we are all using? I had one to a “panodata” site saved, but it seems to send me to this place now. Is there a higher definition version that I should now be using as an advanced Glastocam forum user?

Maybe they wanted to get a head start, a covid outbreak could put them back 10 days instantly.

That’s my thinking too. After two cancellations, they’ll be leaving absolutely nothing to chance. Their planning has to factor in a possible Covid outbreak and the only way around that, short of having additional staff which is probably outside of their call, is to start earlier.

I use this one now.  Works great on full screen and automatically pans around from one side to the other.

That’s a great shout. Thanks, added that to favourites. Good to see the urinals, the distinctive blue wall,at the back of the other field, getting their priorities right yet again ! Now folk just need to learn to aim into the trough rather than piss on the floor

That’s the BBC studio going up in the park.

Or the one year they put the Mandela Bar up... and then. tore it down again and then piut it up again... confused the hell out of me 🙂

I remember the year I was first aware of the Mandela Bar (2008, I think), when a tent went up and we didn't know what it was - and the joy when it turned out it was a bar!

Are my eyes deceiving me or are these sections of steel in the Pyramid field parts of a crane?

I think they're rigging for the screens.  I'm with everyone else in expecting a visual upgrade this year.

Think it’s further up the hill than that?

Pangea hanging off the Pyramid, now that's a new idea 😉

They're parts from a generic truss system, at any rate. Definitely not part of a crane.

The smaller sections on the grass could definitely be the screen structures. The sections behind them on the road look to be a bigger profile and longer.

That was my initial thought as well. 

 

Isn't that gap the top entrance to The Park?

If you go back to 2019 that’s where it is as the ribbon tower is just to the right of it

One of my great disappointments this year is the dinosaur having a poo bush no longer looks like a dinosaur having a poo.

I think you need to play a few rounds of this game.

I always miss out on their updates because (being the fickle get I am) I unfollowed them when they outed themselves as tories.

The small stuff delivered by Serious Stages is still there. 
 

Those large sections that I thought were part of the crane are no longer there. 
 

The mystery continues.

I think the poster with a big spider on kind of solved the mystery, but ok! 😀

The Spider coming back is a known fact. That’s not being disputed. 
 

The mystery is what is happening with the crane. 
 

There are rumours of an outlandish plan which apparently is too crazy even for this forum. 
 

Glastonbury Festivals own a crane. If they’re unable to erect it I’m certain they will repurpose it for some other use. No idea what though which is one of the reasons we’re watching the cam!

Activity by the Ribbon tower by looks of it, if its not shooting..
