    There is a Pamper Parlour in Pink Moon...... what's that?

    Where you can use hairdryers/straighteners etc along with getting make up done if you want.

    The two sweetest words in the English language right now...

    :cool: Variable cloudiness :cool:

    Not sure there will be stuff open on Thursday as a previous poster said the vendors usually get going around midday on the Friday but I really don't know myself

    Bring some noodles and make use of that camping stove!

    What's everyone's thoughts on check in? I didn't go down until Saturday last year and obviously it was grand but Body & Soul this year was horrendous on the Friday evening. Will it be better at EP?

    There were three stages in Body & Soul in previous years yet it looks like all the artists listed for Body & Soul this year are accounted for on the main stage and Earthship announcements.

    Can we take it that there are only those two stages this year?

    yes,no problems on the Friday at EP in the last few years, and don't remember any problems before that either.
    don't know what the problem was with B&S this year, it was fine in previous years.

    Don't think you are allowed to bring your own and plug them in. They provide them

    Anyone down there give on up date on what ground conditions are like, we have had a lot of rain in the past few weeks.

    I actually don't trust any weather forecast this summer, it just wants to spontaneously piss down when ever it likes.

    Hi guys, apologies if this has been answered already, cannot find it if it has in this mega forum of death!

    I bought a ticket, hard copy, but the original owner's name is on it. Will this be a problem upon admission?

    Id say that's the Boutique camping. Only the Podpads are in with Pink Moon (I think).

    How well do you know the original owner? if it's a mate and they're not gonna diddle you by cancelling it and getting it re-issued then you are sorted.

    If I turn up on Saturday will I have much hassle getting a camping space. Also if I take tent down early on Sunday is there anywhere to store it?

    There will be plenty camping space , but be resigned to the fact that its will be far back. Keep your eyes pealed in the chaplin campsite though.


    THere is no where really to store the tent unless you give it to a neighbour , or if you have a car fling it in there.

    God, I don't know if I'd even bother putting a tent up for the 1 night - kip in a car, or wear all your clothes and sit at an all night campfire and pull a 24/36 hour stint.

    I'm delighted with the times of both of them acts. Will be nice to chill out during the day at the main stage and catch Jurrasic 5, similar to the Wailers last year. Hot Chips time is perfect IMO, will be just getting dark and they will be great to get everyone in the mood for Saturday nights shenanigans.

    Jurassic 5 should be in a tent, they'll be lost on the main stage. No problem with timing of Hot Chip, but Sam Smith coming on after them will be a serious bring-down.
