I literally fell over when getting off the sofa. What an idiot! Can't use it for two weeks, but should be fully healed for June at least! Yes, that's me too! We chatted about your exciting opportunity this year: glad work gave the go ahead! Here are the boots; they still need some work but looks like that's going to have to wait! They're amazing and hope you heal quickly and as pain free as possible ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1995 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 A tad off topic - but been looking for the "ultra" HD aerial photo of Glasto where you can zoom in (to the point where you can try and find your tent). Anyone know where this is? I know it was done for 2015/16 but not sure about '17. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was https://glastomap.com/. Permission to use the photo was withdrawn. However if you download Google Earth Pro to your PC and search for Worthy Farm, then you can basically get the same functionality. Google have the 2017 festival available under Historical Imagery (you have to set the view to HDTV to get the best results) The image I extracted below is the site at that time and allows to zoom a bit however it's just a jpeg so you soon begin to lose detail. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time of day was that taken? Must be real early hours. Looks weird as there's thousands of tents there, but you can't see any people anywhere! All the stages and communal areas are completely empty. Edited April 4, 2019 by duke88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come permission was withdrawn? Just down to usage rights or the festival not wanting such a detailed aerial view of the layout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by tent densities, It's going to be about noon, give or take an hour. You can see plenty people at the gates or queueing outside. It's from the Wednesday in 2017, which was blazing sunshine and hot as anything, so most people who are actually on site and set up at that point won't be out in the open.

I think security issues was banded about but nothing official. I was hoping to create a website map using the embedded Google Earth /Maps image but Google (not evil ha!) have drastically changed the API usage: https://geoawesomeness.com/developers-up-in-arms-over-google-maps-api-insane-price-hike/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.M.V Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Just been to check on our caravan and to measure for an awning. Discovered the fecking roof light has come off and been somewhat open to elements. On the plus side someone has patched it up for us as its on a storage site. Now have to find a new one for an old van. ? Just gaffa taped it with some bin liners in the meantime. Spring getaway will have to wait. Sigh.
