No. It's not.

Why not?

Speaking of cold cans, is the shop in Jimi Hendrix the only place to buy ice?

Folks, I thought i had my sleeping bag but it's now on the missing list. Could anyone recommend a shop for last minute sleeping bag purchase

Work in a lab, got it for nothing, sure why not?

I put some bottles on dry ice last year while driving home from work. One of them froze, expanded and burst after about ten minutes!

I just go with ice packs in a poly box to keep gin and tonics cool. Lasts a couple of days. I've no issues bringing my booze into the main arena luckily so will mostly be avoiding the bars.

I love this thread, salt to lower the freezing point of water for your cans, dry ice!!! Science mixed with festival.

Yes please do!! Let us know what act you plan to release it at. Slightly breezy this weekend so outdoors won't work. Security will prob freak out and think it's a fire!!

Think there was an ice shack

There might be a problem with the dry ice due to it being CO2 and the build up in a tent/confined area?

Am I the only one here who is reeeeeeeeeeeeally looking forward to the inflatable church??? One of my best memories from my first EP (2013)... Hope the same guys run it this year!!

Plan on only bringing a small bit in at a time, and keeping it slightly outside tent. Hopefully they wont notice it in it's container!

You guys can expect a smoke effect in Wilde from about 12 tomorrow

Hello

Have you been to EP before?

Wilde is like a less evolved version of downtown Mogadishu on a saturday night.

How are we supposed to separate which is your smoke effect from the dozens of mad max like funeral pyres and the local drama club re-enacting the battle of the somme (complete with replica trenches )

well that will firstly depend on which car park. It could be walked in 10 minutes, but depending on queues, searches, how much you're carrying, bad timing etc... you can be on the move for over an hour.

Depends on where you're parked. If you're in the Red car park about 10-15mins, longer if you're in the Green Car park.

Can u bring ur own bogroll into the campsite and main arena or will security take it off me ?
I've piles (which will be flaring up bigtime from all the beer) so I can only use really soft jacks paper

I have, and you're quite right. I'll bring some to Daft As Punk meet-up... 2:30am, copious amounts of alcohol, what could go wrong?

Wilde is grand. Hendrix on the other hand...

Ehh, assuming you're not taking the piss, there's no problem with bringing in as much soft bog roll as your heart desires.

Security will nab them. They hand them out for free at the Andrex installation in the main arena though.

Depends which car park you end up in, how much stuff you're carrying + there will be queues for security and wrist band exchange.

Have a look at this;

You'll need a note from your mum.

Stalked this thread for the past few weeks and only remembered my password now.

Staying Boutique because I'm just not tough enough for the mean streets of the other campsites, not sure where my limo driving is staying but that is not my problem .

Thanks to all for making this thread so helpful over the last few days, esp Villian for the weather updates. Everyone enjoy and if you see a stately looking gent in a fur coat wandering around the main arena return him to Boutique as I'm clearly lost.
