My latest update on weather, the heaviest of the rain does look be very late Friday night but it is going to be wet Friday, no way to dress it up really.

Not believing it, the other half made me drag in anything that might get wet Sunday night as we we're going to get lashed out of it, here we are Wednesday morning and it still hasn't rained and the sun is splitting the rocks...I'm about 40min from stradbally and I'd guess it's pretty similar up there.

We'll be grand don't panic it's Ireland.

Wellies are fine but you need proper Welly socks or they'll chew through your feet. Find somewhere the FCA buy their socks and you'll be right.

I find Football socks can be good and they help prevent the wellies chaffing your shins

Is providence in Freetown?
I’m very confused with the timings of the place
Djs are finished at midnight in Freetown but yet providence is open till 4am

Don't you dare get all positive with your climate weather denial.

Sketchers hiking boots are the job. Have mine about 5 years. Excellent. Also got a cheap pair from Lidl couple of weeks back, but haven't broken them in. Mrs Pablo has her posh Dubarry river boots.

If you are going with wellies, get decent ones like Toggi or Hunter. Your local equestrian/agri supply store should have some. Can be pricey but with decent socks work very well. Cheap wellies are fine for a couple hours in the garden but not a weekend walking.

Far from Hunter you were raised, don't mind the fancy stuff, pair of Dunlop rubber ones is all you need with good socks.

So pi$sing rain all day/night Friday seems to be consensus?

Bought my Dunlop pair, weirdly enough, at a national tree climbing championships, I think in 2013, in Stradbally Hall! They'll be "going home" this week so! Bringing a brand new pair of hiking boots too, that I'm slipping into each evening to bed down! We'll be all in runners by Sat evening!

I have some Dunlop ones and I find them tough going after a few hours. My Toggis eat them for breakfast, really snug and good ankle support.

Hi All, How is the ECO camping is there still a good laugh in there? Is the rave in the woods too much? Sorry for all the questions.

My husband has convinced himself that the <250ml aerosol limit means he can't bring his 250ml aerosol deodorant. Because its Less Than 250ml. Someone sensible please help me correct him. :rolleyes:

It's grand, you'd be really unlucky to get bad neighbours in there. The rave in woods is still there of course, but bring earplugs and you'll still get some sleep.

It's great, dont think I'd survive a mainstream campsite, rave not an issue for me, I was out for the count in seconds

Tree climbing championship? there's such a thing!!

For those on the lookout for cheapish hiking boots, try Mountain Warehouse in blanch centre. I picked up a pair for ATN for 40euro last minute when I accepted it was going to rain!! Light, comfy and kept feet dry. Didn't have to break them in beforehand either.

I believe they're offering 20% off everything when you show your ticket too

Or try Trespass (Blanch, Nutgrove, etc. in Dublin). They're doing waterproof hiking boots for €50, down from mad stupid price.

Opinions on campsites lads?
From what I hear of Jimi Hendrix, it seems a bit too crazy for me. Is Oscar Wilde generally a bit better? Dont want anywhere too quiet, but also don't want to be kept up til dawn!
