Thanks for that, I said yes as someone asked BT on FB a while ago and they said yes...... checked gigs of now Gillaband and they are not at BT so perhaps BT don't even know who they have booked ha ha

[Perks]

Hoping to be in the fields this time next week, same weather would be nice too

[Karlhippy]

a week today, better check my camping stuff

Is BT in trouble......

 

Someone posting on the Facebook page asking people to buy tickets even if not going so it can go ahead next year.

There is nothing by BT on the BT FB page.

There was some random post by a random person on the BT Fanatics page earlier - looks to have been deleted now - that was rather odd and telling people to get out and buy a ticket....... but no mention I saw of even if you are not going.

Do you have  a link to what you are referring to then once seen a proper reply can be written...... but is BT in trouble, unlikely as DHP are not  a poor company, but all festivals are potentially in trouble this year as punters cut back.

Think that was post I saw. He seemed to be referring to BT at the time but now seems he was posting it on many pages.

They look a bit too big to be honey bees.. and that would probably be several hives worth… did they have to get someone to gather them or did they just disperse.?

Definitely honey bees and it's this time of year they swarm like that, seen them several times on site but never that many 

And they had all gone by this morning 

[Karlhippy]

Paul - how's the build going?

[Nobody Interesting]

Still a long way to go to be sure...... but all forecasters are showing Thursday to be settled and pretty much dry (not that warm though on some forecasts) but at the moment the BBC is seeing the weather front that was going to cross Saturday some time vanishing.

It all looks far to good - so lots of praise to the old weather gods needed still me thinks.............. but for now I call a very very very big STICK.

+1

That would be absolutely perfect 🤞

[kerplunk]

That'll be plenty warm enough if the sun comes out - wear suncream

Night temps a bit on the chilly side - wear beer duvet

No longer bracing for a muddy one - wearing boots anyway

[Beerqueen]

Bearing in mind it wasn't long ago that it was barely getting to 11 degrees during the day, I'll certainly take it for midnight!

[kerplunk]

How come there isn't a welcome arch on the campsite entrance?

My nose is well put out by that

[Beerqueen]

Well the good news is that I've found my tent!  I couldn't think where I'd put it as it wasn't with the other camping stuff.  But I'd found a space to tuck it away in.  Phew!

It is off to the left of the map where wristband exchange is.

Not sure, I know there was a bar there last year but no idea what the name was - it may even have been the cocktail bar last year.
