Monday morning, the clear-up begins. All the wiring and distribution units have to be collected and loaded on to trucks. The lights taken down, and the generators loaded onto a fleet of articulated trucks and returned to the hire companies. This phase of the operation usually takes about 4 days. When the site is clear the crew leave site and on to the next job.
Some power is left in situ for a week or two more for site crew catering, the fencing crew, etc.
Then comes the sorting out of the paperwork, bills, hire return notes, payments, and of course collecting a cheque from Michael. This all adds up th one of the largest jobs of the year for Templine, this year sharing that honour with the VE and VJ Day 50th Anniversary celebrations in London. For all it's size and complexity, the electrical system for the Glastonbury Festival would seem as small beer to the engineer's responsible for the electrical system of a real city of 100,000.
