comparing how detailed and precise the leaked map PDF is to the crap they release to the plebs, it's a wonder anybody can find their way around. i just know most of it from memory now but i was well lost my first few years.

i think they worry more about making the pleb map look good and have cool looking icons than actually having anything at scale or in the exact spots.

I got lost last year and I have been going since the start. It was quite late mind, and drink was taken.

Probably will but finding it is the problem. We walked around for 40 mins last year looking before biting the bullet

Yeah, they are running a business after all. They sell wine but choice is usually pretty bad. Hopefully they have Desperados again this year for the bargain price of €9 per pint.

In Mindfield the winebuff (across from theatre of food) has a wine bar selling proper wine & prosecco - they will open the bottles and decant into plastic carafes! Usually v good price €6/7 per glass can't rem bottle price but it's not a rip off! P.s in the theatre of food check schedule there will be cocktail making/craft beer tastings etc audience gets to participate & taste!!!!) for FREE!!!!!

A friend has won VIP tickets with 'access to boutique camping area'.

What does that actually mean? Can he pitch his own tent here? I thought that boutique area was only pre-pitched tents?

foolelle · 03-09-2015 9:52am

Anyone seen screw top capri sun's in Dublin?

aidocar · 03-09-2015 9:55am

Its not easy keeping a college outfit together for the summer requires a lot of practive and commitment, maybe they took a break insted of not being asked to play. They did do forbidden fruit this year.

They had another commitment on this week

Thanks guys, had total disaster this morning when I discovered that my platypus soft bottles are burst..... WELL to be fair they are 10 years old.

wont be able to pitch there, perhaps its guest camping?

PabloAndRoy · 03-09-2015 10:08am

So,

For the boards meet up, I see a lot of talk about going to BBB at 5... sounds like a good plan, but it will scupper the 5pm at salty dog ...

So what are we doing .. ?

is the plan to meet at 4.30 in salty dog and stroll over to BBB for 5?

Is all a bit messy and looks like it might not happen ... again

lbj666 · 03-09-2015 10:08am

Accuweather is giving lows of 4-6 Degrees over the weekend. Wrap up warm guys

Maybe yeah, they specifically referred to it as Boutique but considering the price of boutique tents they may have meant guest.

Now, what does guest mean?!

There is an area in boutique called Picnic Garden. IIRC, there are regular "guest" tents pitched in there usually. I could be wrong, but that was my understanding.
