I remember EP used to have people you could rent trolleys off, any idea if this will be here? Or any links to cheap trolleys?

Cheapest I could see is €90 which is steep for ten mins use!

One of these might be your best bet:

I don't really have a music agenda for this as I have seen quite a lot of the acts before, but I would like to check out Roisin Murphy, as I've missed her the last few times she played the Picnic, caught one of the RTE streams of the Electric Picnic programme after the festival and I liked what I saw of her set. Will probably check out the Fleet Foxes as well as have never seen them. It will be mostly a case of just following the sounds with my heart and maybe making a few discoveries in the process as well as exploring a new festival site.

The weather forecast has taken a bad turn

erica74

From the weather forum

THURSDAY ..... Some heavy showers at first becoming confined to the north and drier, sunnier conditions will spread from the south later in the day. Maximum temperatures will shoot up in any sunshine that does develop ranging from 18 to 23c.

FRIDAY ..... Dry with periods of variable cloud and sunshine. Winds light in nature with the outside chance of a shower for scattered parts. Maximum temperatures ranging from 18 to 25c.

SATURDAY ..... Dry and mostly sunny again with light winds that are variable in direction courtesy of an anticyclone that will ridge over top of us. Maximum temperatures ranging from 18 to 24c.

SUNDAY ..... Staying dry and mostly sunny. Could be quite a warm day with maxima getting up to 26 or 27c whilst more generally 18 to 25c. Compared to what the guidance showed initially, now it looks as though the warmest conditions will be in the south. Big changes like this prove the uncertainty.

I am clinging to the fact that the weather forum has never steered me wrong in the past. I live just outside Waterford and there's been a lot of rain overnight and it looks so miserable now, please please let this clear up.

Picked this trolley up off adverts for €20 last week - bargain



They are available new @€;36 from https://www.ie.screwfix.com/heavy-duty-hand-truck-300kg.html but delivery might be tight at this stage

Also got a nice big icebox in The Range for €15. It's not electric but should keep me in ice until sunday.

Well I know where I'm headed after work!

Little tip I got from someone on boards for a few years ago for a festival

This bags are 3 for €1.50 in Dealz. They are great for holding cans and ice inside a backpack. Waterproof and resealable so no leakage. Keeps the beer cold all day and will work really well with the free flow policy in ATN

freeze a 2-5l bottle of water and put it in your cool bag; whatever meltwater comes off you can drink. And no mess. Get a freeze block (one of those blue plastic things and throw it into the cooler bag over night; take out and throw into backpack with cans for mobile cooler

Larger bottles stay frozen longer. Another wee tip.

I know those guys on that site .. yeah this looks like ****e ... If I can't bring my gas bottles, I actually don't want to go.

I just asked on their facebook, but it looks like the conversation has already been had with some of the lads on motorhomecraic.

I asked specifically about built in gas systems

Response was:

"Sorry no gas cylinders allowed on site . Gas will be confiscated on entry"

Been to ep in a caravan for years and never once asked about gas I know it's down on the dos and donts. But campers and caravans need gas for heating , hot water , and fridges. I will be taking it with me as I'd say most people will .

Yes but the EP website states explicitly that fitted gas cylinders in campervans ARE allowed. (https://www.electricpicnic.ie/information/essentials#info-section-37172)

ATN state explicitly that they are not.
