    can u bring alcohol in with you?

    does there tend to be a lot of drugs and yokeheads at it?

    I've got size 8 wellies with size 12 sandals over them and 6 pairs of socks, and that's just on my hands.

    Anyone know what time they let us into the campsite?

    As a Rossie, why are you asking?!

    The festival is in Westmeath/Meath border country...

    (And I live in Wicklow now so can't answer the question)

    What's the closest town to it, Clonmellon or Delvin? It took me ages to find it last year, think I drove out towards Athboy. Hopefully the traffic won't be too bad getting in at around 4ish.

    I'm looking forward to the moment later today, while everyone is almost finished putting up their tents and having a few cans, the whole crowd starts cheering at just being there. Class.

    The year’s at the summer,
    And day’s at the morn;
    Festival's at three;
    The hill-side’s dew-pearled;
    The lark’s on the wing;
    The snail’s on the thorn;
    We're all off to Ballinlough Castle—
    All’s right with the world!

    I've made a very compact timetable for printing. Just download, print both sides, laminate (if you have access to one), cut into 4 and you'll have small postcard size timetables for each day that can fit in a your pocket.

    Download the pdf here:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/75aqi2kp5f3sskh/Body%20%26%20Soul%202015.pdf?dl=0

    If you notice a mistake I can fix it until 1pm. After that I'm off. I'd have posted this 2 days ago but it took ages to type out all the names and times. Very time consuming.

    Could somebody please tell me how much pints / food are at the festival?
    Trying to decide how much I need to bring. Wondering if I can get away with €50 each day fri/sat/sun :pac:
    Hopefully I plan to get 2 good meals per day!

    Pints between €5 and €6 if I remmember right. Food usually around €8 to €12. But its operation freeflow so just bring a cooler box of ice and lots of cans, nice and cheap

    It's really brilliant the way you can bring your cans in. Saves a fortune.

    Try for 630, the buses always leave a bit later than planned

    More importantly, you can actually experience more of the festival at your leisure. Less of this "lets get tanked-up in the campsite first" kinda thing.
