Give us an aul site update

Walk ways around salty dog, trenchtown, Hazelwood are muddy at all the crossroads but not too bad. Grass in Joplin seems a good bit longer than last year �� but that could be just me. More people here than I thought but your not missing anything. Hopefully it makes a difference for queues tomorrow....ive never seen Hendrix so empty��
Ps it's getting cold already

The eve is upon us. It's been a long wait but no doubt the weekend will live up to expectation as always. Between Pablos app, Duddas DIY lanyard, MJohnstons site map/essential list, Carlow Weather Mans updates and everyone chipping in on the clashfinder - the EP thread is something else. It plays a large part in building up my excitement every year! Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Updated forecast and brief video from this morning

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIQ85NkaH0s

Update on forecast for coming days focusing on Electric Picnic in Stradbally with a video from this morning.

Tomorrow will be a good day with sunny spells and up to 19c in a light Northwest breeze.

Tomorrow evening will turn cool and by tomorrow night it will turn cold, it could get down to 5c! So you will want warm clothes.

Saturday then will start off nice and dry with some early fog clearing to sunny spells and climbing to about 18c. Cloud will increase in the afternoon and it will feel humid in a strong Southerly breeze.

Rain then will arrive around 7pm and will be light at first but it will get heavy later in the evening but staying humid and breezy, so rain gear but not warm clothes will be needed, up to 10mm is possible so wellies may be needed.

Sunday then will see even milder air arrive and the band of rain should clear by around 9am. Then there will see a mix of dry spells and showers, some showers could be heavy, up to 21c in light breeze.

Warm Sunday night into Monday with some showers.

Video from near the site this morning before the fun begins, enjoy if you are heading to Stradbally and if not, well enjoy the dry bed Saturday night

Sorry to be another asking a question, but if I want to be certain of my getting yellow carpark should I come in via timahoe?

Another packing up here post....(with a bit off gushing!!) Really looking forward to it and this thread is my hype machine, I share with my missus and bro and sis in law, none of whom get excited about it, they have little interest in discovering music, ( Don't get me wrong, they are fun and we have a good time) but they don't get interested in who's playing and fall into the "the line up is ****e" family, and don't talk about Facebook, so much negativity, I wasn't even looking forward to last year with a week to go until I logged on to the thread, you lot are a treasure and transform the picnic for me, real positivity here, hyped to fck for tmw now! Have a great one!!

Last post pre-Picnic. It's been a pleasure reading all your recommendations and insights over the last year. Informative & humorous stuff and I look forward to the next 12 months of it. I must particularly mention Bodhrandude, Scruff, Arne, Pablo, Tago & MJohnson. But you've all been great & I hope you have a deserved wonderful weekend.
Am already looking forward to the Monday reviews.

Have we decided when we're going to go kicking teenagers? Or are we just going to do it randomly?

All packed, vodka in the plastic, cider in the fridge it's better than Christmas eve.

Quick question: If you have a family camping ticket can you enter through the general entrance as I will not be camping.

Will I be able to drive into Stradbally village itself tomorrow morning, or do I face redirection? Not bothered by what car park I end up in but need to meet someone there.

Synode

All packed and ready. We'll be on the road straight after we drop the kids to school in the morning. Weather is looking better than it did yesterday so all hail the weather Gods. Be good to us oh heavenly clouds, for we are good people. Enjoy everyone

Think you need to be local or have family camping. Not sure they actually check the tickets though
