Pyramid stage co-ordinates

[SPW]

An odd / random question but anybody clued up enough about co-ordinates etc. to know what is the correct co-ordinates for the Pyramid Stage.  It is for a potential (small/subtle) tattoo so want to get it right. I know (well think!) co-ordinates are a single point rather than an area which may explain variations when I try to google an answer.

 

Wikimapia has 51°9'19"N   2°35'10"W as a starting assumption!

Pizzas Fetching Cashew.

That's the What3Words if you'd settle for that as a tattoo.

Is it something @Glastopedia may know or have on the website somewhere?

I did have a quick scan on the website last night (brilliant btw and enjoyed the Festival Sounds pod) but didn't see it.

Thanks @itschris, that is v close in terms of reference to one on wikimapia that google maps puts just in front of the stage.

[SPW]

Thanks @spirit.sky too.  I like cashews, and pizzas are ok, but not sure enough to warrant a tattoo😃

yeah, that's the pin you are given when searching pyramid stage on Google maps, it does appear to be in the tree behind the stage. I'm sure you could drop your own pin else where 

[CharlotteB]

Would you be interested in the OS map coordinates? I think I have the map of the site somewhere (or is that the same as a Google pin?).

[CharlotteB]

Right, I found the map. It's the Cheddar Gorge & Mendip Hills West OS Explorer Map (141). Luckily, I'd already made a little note where some of the stages are on it. My coordinate estimate is 591 398.

 

That would be enough to get you to it on a walk. Of course, you can get more precise than that if you get a ruler out, and definitely don't get a tattoo based on my estimation 🤣😂

 

But if that's the sort of coordinate you want to go for, you might want to get the aforementioned map and have a look yourself. Bet you can get it on eBay for a few quid.

The little triangle is where I worked out the Pyramid Stage to be years ago (during lockdown when we all had too much time on our hands).

[SPW]

Thanks so much @CharlotteB and interesting looking at that map generally. While I think I know where I am going, seeing that makes me realise my perspective is a bit skewed if someone asked me to map it out from memory/judgement.

Well if you're not taking it I will.

I might go for picture form - someone fetching pizzas a cashews. Maybe that someone could be Michael Eavis. I'll work on the design.

You can convert the centroid of the W3W grid to BNG / Lat Long / whatever to want want wants you have a 'standard' X Y.

That sounds good, let us know if you do.

My potential one is much more modest, and less creative, an LCD line or title, and some nod to Pyramid / Glastonbury. But v.small.

Dropping the pin on top of the pointy bit gives 51°9'20"N   and 2°35'10"W

I'm sticking with the words for mine.

Is your username a location?

That is exactly what I am looking for.

Thankyou.

Thanks for the kind words! Turns out I'm using 51°09'20.1"N 2°35'10.7"W for its location on these maps, but I think I just tried to get it as close to the middle of the stage as I could. If you wanted to round those values I reckon 51°09'20"N 2°35'11"W works pretty nicely!

[SPW]

That's great thanks so much.

Just thinking how a tattoo of a certain place that means a lot to you from a large scale OS map would be f**king cool.
