Did anyone take the bus down there last year? Just wondering how long it will take roughly... working in the morning (sob!) so won't get to the buses until 2pm!!

If I put the same amount of planning, organisation and preperation That I do for electric picnic in all aspects of my life I think I'd be a hell of lot better off!!!

I would describe the atmosphere in certain parts of the Hendrix Site as being 'Oxegn-esque' anyway

Hendrix is fine - I've camped at Joplin, Wilde and Hendrix.
And I prefer Hendrix. A lot of people have a bias as to where they stay, but its all personal preference, but some will say the other areas are crap or full of scum. It really doesn't make a difference in the end. And if you're with a group - you'll be happy out!

It all depends on your neighbours and what it is you're looking for yourself.

Some will camp near people who'll sing all night and hate it, while the crowd next to you might love it and join in.

Ah jaysus. It's hardly as rough as oxegen was during its last three years ? As long as me tent isn't ransacked and there aren't killings left right and center I'm happy.

Ah I'm joking really! Hendrix is just probably the youngest of the five camps. I've spent a bit of time in there with friends and have had no issues. I usually stay in Wilde. But you've people in here saying Wilde's the worst and I'd never agree!

So really it's what you make it of it yourself, and if you're going with EP veterans you'll be fine!

I prefer accuweather's forecast at this point

Automated online forecasts should always be taken with a pinch of salt, usually based on one model run without an human intervention.

We'll have the latest high resolution models shortly, the Harmonie model run which goes as far as midday Saturday so far wasn't great but we'll have more info soon.

Fcucking hell that's a lot of rain.

Would anyone have a Google maps pin drop of the entrance to the green car park. Pretty please

Wooderson

Soz to mods if that pic breaches a rule. 30mm+ of rain in a couple hours is a mess however. I remember place cutting up pretty bad in '08 ( I think?) - this would be way worse.

Got the capri sun's in a little shop in cabra near my yard. Whoop whoop

heavy rain sat night would make the post close of main stage debauchery around the arena a nightmare

Have to agree re joplin, always strikes me as an older crowd.

Useful.Idiot

Quick question..where do you have to show your ticket first?? Friends who have my ticket will be in there before me and are planning on coming out with the ticket to me. Will this work alright!?
