Tor View Look Out

[frostypaw]

Having walked the farm nearly every week for many years I thought it was obvious from the video where the platform is.

Have you edited your post? I thought you got it? I feel bewildered

[ThomThomDrum]

no that's footage from that location, it IS the view from the platform - see my earlier post - Pyramid to right Other to left, farm to far right, goose hall bottom right, else park and the ribbon tower would be in view

It's 100% not the same view and I think Cheesey has shown that pretty clearly at this stage

if the place where they interview emily and michael is the tor view platform then thats just past gate c behind mutoid waste and almost at the bottom of the acoustic field.

the footage of the big tent ready to go up looks like the acoustic tent.

but as the narrator mentions the view from the new tor platform they show you a view from the other side of the site near worthy view.

thats how it looks to me.

I'm back onsite on Friday evening. Will try to get to the bottom of this....hopefully with pics.

[eFestivals]

the one over by The Park can't be Tor View, cos it won't get a view of the Tor!

The view in those pictures:

is clearly not the same as the view in the BBC video:

Conclusion - the BBC report is a load of balls.

That looks nearer the Pyramid than I would have thought Glebeland bottom of Acoustic would suggest.

This is the view from Park which as you say (I stand corrected) means the BBC put footage together badly - and it isn't the view from Tor:

This is bang on

The BBC shot when talking about the view is very much from the south of the valley. It was poor editing and it caused confusion. Its very much not shot from the Tor View location.

The tree in the foreground in the beeb shot is probably a tree near the tipi village

That looks nearer the Pyramid than I would have thought Glebeland bottom of Acoustic would suggest.

I think the camera shot has foreshortened it signifcantly with a zoom lens. If you look at the roads/paths in the foreground and the angle of the Pyramid, then look at the map, the bottom of the Acoustic field looks about right.

The thing I circled is this though, right?

Have we decided that's not Tor View?

So this wooden structure is called 'The Temple' and is another viewing platform.

"The Temple is a wooden construct that’s based around three pyramids of old telegraph poles and offers one of the most breathtaking views of the entire site. “We’re going to have lanterns up here that people can light and hang up, so by Sunday it’ll just be full of lights,” Emily says. “It’d be good to bring someone like Kanye up here, actually, to give them the full context of the festival.”

ah awesome!

Good a bit mad for the viewing platforms though

[J.B.]

The theatre near pedestrian Gate C on the official Glastonbury map is called "Tor View Theatre" on the EE app map, so it would make sense that that's the area it's located.

In the second picture down there's a trailer with wood on it which I believe is the frame for the meeting point at William's Green area. So the platform would be between bottom of Acoustic and where Mutoid Waste was last year by my reckoning. Edited June 11, 2015 by TheParkAfterDark

I think its safe to say at this stage the Tor View viewing platform and performance area will be about here

[Dukeicon]

You can see Tor View Lookout in this latest site picture. Has people in orange hi-vis jackets on.

And here it is folks

That should give an excellent view of the long drops at the bottom of the acoustic field.
