something happening in the glade out of sight , wonder if that tree blocking view of pier is an ash and we might get a better view of pier build in future years ? maybe soon they lift the other stage although that feels a bit early S

So, a bit of rain has fallen over the last 24 hours. More to come throughout today, and then Sunday it seems. Looking dry for other days. Hardly flooding material though, which is the main thing.

-lashing- down here in Clevedon, but I think it's going to just miss the site 🙂

 

clounds are moving from left to right

Looks like significant rain has hit the site.

Yes, worst weather is heading north, just send it up to me, I’m willing to take one for the team!

There's an owl-looking thing in the field on from the Pyramid...

[Julesdude]

Can't remember now which one of your lovely people said a couple of years ago on here that they were tickled by this tree each year because they thought it looked like a dinosaur taking a sh!t

could be the polar bear that appeared last year during the build process but never made it to the festival...

I've just checked the webcam tool to have a look at when Elton was playing last year and i know there was a big crowd but i was quite shocked at how small the QOTSA crowd actually was..

It was tiny but it was fantastic as everyone who was there wanted to be there so had a really good vibe (was the same for TWOD too). 

[Pipine]

Same for Phoenix on Woodsies.. such a small crowd but the energy was immense.. it kind of made it really special but I do prefer to see tents full. Hopefully this year there won’t be such an imbalance.

Looks like the levels has started to be built.

If that's the Arcadia dragonfly helicopter it's looking fairly small/underwhelming so far... hoping for a huge amount of fire and a decent sound volume/setup! Or is that just a car... time will tell

I've zoomed in and I think that's a van trailing something.

Is the size of the chopper all that important😉?

[Cheesey]

Definitely a van with a trailer. Here's a clearer picture of it from earlier:

Massively important! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's got to be at least as big as the spider body and DJ's have to fit in.

That tower is ginormous. 

They aren't standard Arcadia speaker towers as per previous years! 

 

[Northtim]

 

Other stage roof going up - why can I only see 5 towers?

 

The sound desk tent seems to have a taller section behind it?

When you dig out the old meccano set, get the thing 90% built and realise you've lost a bit.

It might just be temporary scaffold used in the build.
