Judging by yesterday's progress I'd say yes if not stopping just behind the next trees.

I'm going to go bold and suggest we'll see the two fences meet today.

Big push to get it done prior to the weekend.

The would need a big push! More than a day's work there though I reckon

It's bothering me, what if they haven't measured it right, and when they get to join the 2 sections together it doesn't match perfectly and there is an overlap. What happens then? (OCD alert)

Just a guess but they must have adjustable dividers for that exact reason, no way they’d get it mm perfect every time.

I wondered the same thing. There will be fixed starting points from previous years. There will also be points along the fence line where they know post spacing will be. They lay the posts down first along the right bearing between the points. 
 

Easy for a job that’s been done many times but I’m betting the first year they put it up they had a few recalculations to do.

Was just going through my 2019 photos and thought I'd chuck these in here in honour of the crane

How bonkers was that though. Rest in peace crane, gone too soon.

Have to say, I bloody loved that crane. We are part of a select group that got the opportunity to party underneath it. RIP crane.

I know this is old ground but I genuinely found it more interesting to look at. I also covered this in the Arcadia thread, but if you get away from the fact that they weren’t looking for a crane and didn’t buy it to be a crane, the fact that it can rotate 360 and the boom can move up and down, it had some incredible potential, it could’ve done what the spider does but with an extra dimension. Rip.

The spider is great and all but we've seen it loads now. I love it when the festival tries crazy new ideas, even if they don't always come off. Look forward to whatever they come up with for 2023.

Just to see what it was like, I found the oldest webcam footage I could from Glastonbury 2000 on YouTube.

OK, the quality isn't great and I know the festival site was smaller back then, but its amazing to see how late the new Pyramid structure was constructed, and how nothing of the main build appears until early June. 

Also once the festival opens there's still camping space in Top Webs Ash on the Thursday afternoon!

The thing I do miss about the old webcam is that it looked over towards west holts

Pretty sure Joe Rush has the tools to cut a bit down to size where needed.

 

Yeah, that's what you'd do with a normal garden fence panel. Get the appropriate power tool out and chop it down to size. Job done.

Glastocam people, you're definitely the best thread to ask -

I'm feeling a little day trip to Glastonbury Tor (and the Blue Note Café) in my near future. 

If I go some time next week, will I be able to see stuff like the pyramid from there? Do I need binoculars? 

I took this with a zoom lens in 2013, so you'll probably need some bins!

    • Not sure what this means for 2027 but it looks like Holt Farm's website and email are both now inactive and unavailable.   It'll be a shame if they don't operate for 2027 as it was an excellent alternative to the other off-site offerings.   Fingers crossed they're just enjoying their downtime 🤞
    • Deftones, Blink, Muse?   Deftones as the next bump up makes all the sense, Blink as the "band that has never played before" and round out with Muse as its been a long time since they headlined and they have a new album coming which seems on the heavier side from the singles so far.   I could see Muse do their own tour to be fair, maybe MCR in their place? Could also see Deftones switched out for Slipknot/SOAD depending on who is about.
    • I have no issue with the Primavera crowd in most respects. They’re always friendly, respectful and no hint that there could be trouble at any point.   However…the talking is horrific here. The xx was pretty much ruined for me due to people having conversations with their mates the whole way through. Noticed it from all different nationalities across the weekend…English, Irish, Spanish etc. There seems to be no understanding of the nuances of when it’s okay to talk and when it isn’t. And obviously the sound being quiet at a lot of spots on the main stages exacerbates the issue. That alone has made me reconsider whether I will be coming back, it would probably take a lineup as good as this year (unlikely)
