    It's looking a bit rainy but nothing desperate: mixed sun/cloud/possible rain on Fri, showers for sure on the Sat and Sun, though the forecast has been improving slightly over the last few days. Hopefully it keeps getting better.

    Looks windy too. Worth keeping in mind if you have large tent. It doesn't take galeforce winds to tip them over. Exposed spots might be hairy.

    Does Sunday look better than Saturday? I may just go down for the day Sunday if the weather isn't great! I do have a large tent but trying to decide whether is worth lugging it down for one night especially if the weather isn't great!

    Sunday does look a little bit better! I hate missing anything though, so I'll be getting there as early as possible, rain be damned. :)

    Friday ok in the morning but rain spreading from the West to all areas

    Friday : Any rain along the east coast will clear and it will become mainly dry during the morning, with sunny spells, but rain will develop in the west and southwest in the afternoon, spreading eastwards to all parts later, with fresh southerly winds. Max. 15 to 18 Celsius, highest in the east and south. Clearer weather, with showers, will follow on Friday night, with strong southwesterly winds. Turning cooler.

    Weekend : Cool, with maximum temperatures of just 14 to 18 Celsius. There will be some sunny spells, but occasional showers also, some heavy, especially in the west and north, with a risk of thunder. Windy, with fresh to strong southwesterly winds veering northwesterly in direction.

    Sorry to hijack the thread but I have an issue.
    On ticketmaster it says I will need to have the credit card used in the ticket purchase as well as the confirmation number to bring with me to obtain my ticket at body and soul. I'm using my mother's credit card to buy the ticket and she lives in Waterford....so I won't have it with me. Will this cause me a problem, do they actually look for your credit card on the day? Or if I took down the card details on paper would that be enough? Anyone know from experience? Thanks

    This at the moment is showing that early Sunday will have rain of between 0.1 & 0.5 mm/hr.
    I take it that would be classed as 'light infrequent showers'. Would that be right?

    The rain seems to be clearing from 6pm, so the evening & night should be dry?

    Just in case you don't know - you're not allowed camp on Sunday night if you only have a day ticket, according to the B&S website.
    You'll need a weekend ticket to enter the campsites.
