generally ive found a 2 man just fits one and their bag!
anyone experience of a 2 man from pink moon?

Bingo, you would either want to be two very small blokes or two blokes who are very comfortable in small spaces.

Ah fair enough . would you think about getting 2 X 2 man tents?

EDIT: Only realised you were talking about pink moon 2 man tents , Nevermind

This is my first year going to EP, is there much difference between the campsites regarding levels of noise/potential disruption?!

my bro is just a student so wouldn't be paying extra for the comfort - I would have paid 200e for a 4 man myself, but wouldn't spring 400 for 2 x 2mans!

kind of cautious cause last time there few years ago went with big group so had the big circle of tents with area for drinking in the middle - where as this time we'll have two small 2 mans so worried getting no space and trampled!! :eek:

Some will claim there is but really there all the same, it's down to luck and your new neighbors.

Religiously camp in Hendrix myself, always found it grand (Apart from a group of about x30 post leaving certs last year, who thought it would be cool to sing the national anthem over and over all weekend!!) when I leave Hendrix and pass through another camp site I'm thinking "Jeez glad I'm not camped in this kip"

TimeToShine

That Android app posted earlier is absolutely fabulous. 100% recommend, even just to sort your weekend on paper its delightfully easy.

In terms of noise/disruption; you will guarantee that in hendrix, a little less in wilde and close to none in warhol from my previous experience.

Just had a look at clashfinder, and it's updating nicely,

Full Comedy lineup is already on there, which I had not realised was released.

Should be ready to print by Thursday morning hopefully

chances of losin each other in jimmy Hendrix high!!

Edit: one more question can you bring any mates into the area for cans or just the 2 staying?

As far as I know, it's only the people staying in Pink Moon can get in

Put something down in the middle or let people know! its not always obvious. Had the tent practically pitched one year and this Cork lad came up asking us not to camp there!! "we were like, are you serious!!"

Tigger99

It's definitely only people staying there that can get it. One of the benefits of paying extra. Gets rid of a lot of messing.

Pink moon I meant to say.

True but when you are not near the campsite , a lot of people would just move what ever was in the way and just camp there. Unless we position the tents in a way so we get the communal area but no other room for more tents

Cheers for the replies. So ideally arrive 12-2pm. After that its tent-space-saving-time for the late working friends. Need to get some of that new foam spray from the world cup to mark it out!

It depends how many tents, if its just one then time isn't that important, I reckon you would still get a 'good spot' on Friday evening.

If its 2,3-4 tents then I think 12 might be a bit late. And BTW your head will be melted trying to keep a large amount of free space, if possible try and take all the tents and just roll them out in the spaces you want.

hey yall , what are peoples thoughts on bringing all your camping gear bags etc in a wheelie bin , would they allow it ?

fits

Totally with those who are staying in pink moon. I wouldn't camp in regular campsite at EP anymore. No way.

That's a simple but great idea of just rolling the tent out instead throwing random crap around the spot. Cheers for that.

I was at first ep in 2004. Sleeping in tents in general doesn't agree with me anymore. Back cant take it at all. I'm not camping at all but if I were id be going for the posh option. ten years ago it was a different story.

Dominya

So lads, how bad exactly is the vandalism and robbery?
Some people make it out to be seriously bad and others have never seen a thing.
