the one day there is big frigging progress on the other stage and the camera decides to fog up. the forces are against us today

[tumbles]

Looking at previous years they only tend to lift the support pillars on the OS and don't hoist the rest of it up till closer to the festival so we're not missing that much.

It’s kind of clearing, maybe it’s mizzle/mist not actually on the camera?

The main benefit of that particular type of stage is that you can install anything you need - lights, etc - at near enough ground level and then lift the roof with it all in place - so I wouldn't expect the roof to be lifted for quite a while anyway.

The camera will be heated and also will have a wiper which moves across when it rotates for the pano so if one upload will be misty chances are next one will be clearer

It's this how everyone sees the site on a morning after a heavy night? 😅

 Looks like they're pulling Pangea apart.

Cheapest way to move it I guess. I hope it's gone soon, looking at it is making me feel a little bit sad lol

In the skip! Brutal.

[kalifire]

I suppose the misty webcam was sparing ol'craney the indignity of being seen helpless on her side, legs flailing as she's systematically dismantled piece by piece and dumped into an old skip. Or maybe it was getting misty eyed itself.

Ok, enough anthropomorphism for one day!

[dotdash79]

In the skip to the scrap yard, weigh it in and see how much more they have for the special guest budget.

How do I explain why I am literally laughing out loud to my colleagues at this??? I really should browse this site at home not at work.

I think the weather normally comes in from the direction of the Tor so looks like better weather is heading in and we should be able to see things a little clearer.

To whoever was asking yesterday, Other stage looks to be the same size as 2019. No big changes ATM.

[Crazyfool01]

starting to clear up in Taunton now ..... I think that matches the forecast so a dry and less cloudy brighter view in prospect

It's defo brightened up in Bristol now, even got a bit of sunshine at lunch.   The weather for the weekend seems to be getting worse with each day.  We had been looking at 10 days of 25+ degrees and now.. now its just not.

Good choice of music, hills? I was up here  this morning, my personal stairway to heaven!

What do you reckon is happening on the NE corner of Pennards. Just south of the track between the Park and the Pier?

Looks like a lot of earthwork. Do you reckon those caravans and camper vans are there permanently?

Seems like camping real estate in Pennards is getting smaller
