Anyone know where i can pick up a power bank before Friday? Should have bought one from Amazon but totally forgot

scruff monkey

most places have them but frankly you'll pay through the nose, just looking at currys (spit) website, they've 10,000mAh ones for near 50 quid, i bought an anker from amazon a few years back for 25 and it's 15,000mAh

At EP? low enough, maybe 3000? It's a guess.

At work? Non existent. Zero. I'm going to sit there and do NOTHING!!!

Weather forecast looking nailed on now. Showers and light rain and drizzle from Saturday evening to Sunday morning.. could be worse.

Can you hire wheel barrows at the site? A friend said you can but I can't see any reference to it on the website.

Happy to see all the greedy f***s who were trying to rip people off with stupid priced tickets and campervan passes being left hanging 😊 hope they recycle their waste

Probably a massive long shot but seems as though weekend tickets have gone back on sale on Ticketmaster what would be the chances of Sunday tickets going on sale? A mate of mine is working on Fri and Sat but said he would go for the Sunday if he could get a ticket.

And so begins the most unproductive work day Of The year. Glad the forecast has improved for Saturday night too. The wet gear will still be packed though. Can't wait to crack open that first can in pink moon at about midday tomorrow!

What is the crack with the rain?

Genuinely not sure if people are trolling anymore with the weather and directions questions...

How far of a walk is it from the Campervan site to Stradbally?

Also do they still have stalls there that will inflate your mattress?

Yeah that was a bit of a troll, sorry i'm just excited.



PREPARE FOR RAIN LATE SAT AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING PEOPLE!!

Packed up the Campervan late last night and discovered one of the back tyres was flatter than my old Da's midlands accent!
Shower also appears to be on the blink- a great start to the weekend !!

Also Pablo's tip for a utility tent to stash stuff away in one of the Gen-pop sites is a good one- the walk from the main arena out to Joplin & the general campervan site can be muderation on the legs.

Only major clash I have is between Ash and Duran Duran on Sunday. Legends and all as they are, I'd forgotten how good Ash are so it's a tough choice. Only other clash worth noting is Jenny Greene and London grammar but London grammar definitely wins out there, we have Pete Tong on Saturday night anyways.

Ask one of your neighbours for one. 99.9% of folks out in the Campervan site are obliging, sound souls. This will save you an unnecessary walk into Stradbally

Same bloody thing happened to me. I woke at 4am shivering and sweating at the same time. Thirsty as hell as well. I went downstairs to get some water and i thought I was going to faint I felt that weak. Managed to sleep for another 2 hours and didnt feel as bad when I woke. Took two Neurofen and came into work. If I still feel crappy later I am going to leave work early and go home to sleep. Aint no way I am missing EP.

I've been sick all week today is the first day I feel better. Bloody sinus infection. I'm left with a bloody bark of a cough so if anyone hears that you know it will be me

Not sure where you got that from, Saturday night is looking pretty wet tbh.

Asked before but got no reply, has the Play the Picnic schedule been released? Are there a few others that haven't been also?
