Looks like 10 instead of 8, good spot. Other stage looks to have more too.

I guess they need more speakers to drown out the sound of the rain?

This really really is a lot of woodchip this year!

Jeez, that’s a serious f**ktonne of the stuff. That’s more than usual, surely?

2 weeks to go, still so much to be done before the gates open!

Sooooo pretty this morning!

 

Looking at the extent of the woodchip in the foreground, that's clearly protecting the ground from vehicle damage during the build.  Where we usually camp in front of the Pyramid has always been grassy.  Looking at this, it's covered in woodchip.  Way further back than previous years.

The festival was earlier though, check 7th June 23 for a comparison. Broadly the same I'd say.

Yeah.  Broadly similar.  And shows my unreliable memory was actually right about the extend of woodchipping.

Think it's really smart myself - its not like they can't afford to do it. Even if it doesn't really particularly badly it's all bases covered.

Glade Stage about to go up

Tipis appearing but they seem to be randomly placed. You would think they would be pitched in some sort of order. Maybe not, there must be a reason.

Agreed.  But then I am a qualified Risk Manager, so I would.
