I was near the site this morning, the ground is soft in spots where there has been traffic but not bad.
A few tweaks to my forecast for Carlow Weather last night below along with some photos I took this morning near the site, in short very cold tomorrow night and wet to very wet Saturday night but mild and mild Sunday with showers.
Friday then sees the start of Electric Picnic up the road in Stradbally and it looks a good day with some sunny spells and up to 18c in a Northwest breeze.
It will turn cool Friday night once the sun sets, getting down to around 7c so you might want some thermals for the tent ��
Saturday will start off a great day with any early fog clearing to give a nice morning and afternoon with sunny spells and up to 18c. The Southerly winds will increase in the afternoon and cloud will build.
The rain that was expected on Sunday now looks likely to arrive late Saturday evening, it will start off light but turn heavy after around midnight and winds will increase a little more to strong winds at times, so basically a mild, wet and windy Saturday night so you won't want any holes in the tent and you might want some wellies for Sunday morning!
Sunday morning then will start off damp but the band or rain will clear early enough Sunday and it will get warm up to 20c but some showers also for the rest of Sunday, Easterly winds easing through the day.
A mild night Sunday night and Monday morning with just some showers.
I'll have another updated forecast later tonight on my Carlow Weather Facebook page.

I made this post a few pages back which has printable time tables.

The text is kinda small at font size 7 so just for you I've modified it so it's super sized at A4 for every day. It's 14.5 now maybe able to read it without reading glasses.

I know, probably would have ended up drinking them all well before EP though
Mate of mine started drinking -cans and naggins-on an early bus from cork to the picnic few years back. Fell asleep woke up in a panic and was absolutely plastered hanging around the car park/front entrance for most of Friday afternoon. Hangover kicked in around 9pm he said it was a case of premature canulation lol0 -

Also do they still have stalls there that will inflate your mattress?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
Cheers, but the two questions are unrelated I need to head into Stradbally at some point.
Anyone know the walking distance from the campsite to Stradbally village?0 -

It's a about 25-30mins of a walk from the Campervan site now due to the health and safety restrictions in place (they've fenced fenced off part of the road and make punters walk through the field running alongside)
As for Air Matress- Joe Bananas or the like might have a pumping service over in Hendrix.0 -

The good news, I was 90% better after 24 hours and 100% better next day..
She was the same..
Anyway, power on through with your medications of choice, and put off the suffering till next week!
