All Together Now 2023

Yep, the ground is solid. There's a very nice vibe here already. It's shaping up very nicely.

I'd still go with the hiking boots type footwear especially if we get that expected deluge tomorrow evening!

It's going to be Wetduscher.

Does the Londis on site sell cans?

Yellow wind warning for tomorrow night for Waterford states risk of damage to temporary structures and from falling branches. Could this impact upon the running of ATN?

I imagine safety officers might shut everything down by 1am, people can't be around trees in that wind. Probably no camping near trees either...

Be careful of food vendors charging in sterling. Went to the Wood fired pizza last night and they tried to charge me £19 for a €20 pizza. On xe.com €20 is £17.23

Wrap up at night, supposed to be very cold last night for camping out there.

rip-off like that should be reported to the promoters. If the advertise €20 they must charge €20. They cannot decide that because they are from a non euro country that they charge in their country's currency.

How’s the ground feeling?

There’s been a lot of rain lately, can imagine the water table is pretty high.

Fearing it’ll be a mud bath before I even arrive!

It won't at all. Loads of sunshine down here in between the showers, you're in the Sunny south east now boy.

The ground will be fine, just don't wear trainers or at least expensive ones. Wear waterproof footwear if you have any and you'll be grand.

Thursday report

Arrived down about 5.30pm yesterday, zero traffic and straight into the carpark as per directions advertised. Parked up approx 50m from the main entrance and through security in seconds. Zero searching going on both times I came through all they asked was if we had any glass bottles. Raging I didn't bring more cans now!

Ground in the campsite is fine and firm mostly, wouldn't have any concerns about the campsite getting mucky. Arena I'd be more concerned about as parts are soft, I'd say boots will be needed and can see the main pathways into the arena cutting up pretty badly if we get the forecasted rain.

Caught Gemma Dunleavy who was very enjoyable and then stuck around for Stevie G afterwards on the bandstand. Pints of Guinness went down very well and €7 a pop. Arcadia in a new spot which I think was unused last year, very near to that corner of the campsite where the showers are located. Ping Pong Disco and Ealu le Grá also in that corner which I believe was the staff campsite last year, advertised as a late night area but not open last night. I would say that neck of the campsite will be the lively part.

No queues for the showers this morning, campsite is fairly busy over that side but we are nearer to family campsite and it's very quiet and spacious for now but lots of people arriving already. Toilets very clean but not a screed of bog roll so bring some down!

Had a delicious burrito last night and going to spend the next 30 mins deciding whether to get a toatie or breakfast bap. Life is good.

Safe travels to all coming down and have a great weekend folks!

Traffic was grand coming from Wexford direction. Well signposted! First beer opened. Enjoy folks 😀

Great hearing that the ground is dry for now after that month of rain. POD really got it right when they chose this site.

Sure it might cut up a bit over the weekend, but at least it's not starting on boggy ground.
