For anyone that has stayed in the pink moon glamping before - can you tell me whether the 2 man tents fit a double airbed

Thanks!

just about i'd say but there'd be bugger all floor space left which would mean your gear right up against the tent wall, that could be a problem if it piddles down.

Don't forget the zip lock bags to sneak your spirits into the arena. Oh and don't forget to double bag, always double bag.

Nice drone footage!!
Jeazz never realised how big pink moon was has it expanded on last year? The tent layout with equal spacing and straight lines really appeals to my OCD side.

think it's about the same, it's hard to gauge how big it is from the ground with everything level i think.

There's defo less 2 man tents than when i started using them, mostly seem to be of the bigger sizes now

everlast75

Have absolutely nothing done.

I work for myself so have f**king tonnes to do today 'cause of the 2 days I won't be in.

Have to buy some rain gear and a rucksack.

Have to buy drink.

Haven't listened to as many bands as I would have liked.

That said, I can't wait to be sitting outside my tent with first can of the weekend.

I fitted a double inflatable bed relatively easliy in a two man tent. Also, I had no problems with dampness on the two man tent wall whereas the year i spent in a two man tipi, i had awful hassle with dampness...

Villain/MJohnston - ur opinion of the current 5 day forecast on met.ie please?

Villain, you are an absolute champ, thanks for all the updates, any chance of a Saturday AM update so I can plan my day around the rain?!

What's the verdict on how best to manage your phone/keys/wallet etc. when in the arena - trendy fannypack?

Way too late for this probably but we have a bottle that self warms using some salt based chemical reaction in a separate compartment. Single use only which is a pain though.

We are just going to bring those Aptimil pre-maid bottles with us, as our baby doesn't seem to mind drinking room temperature milk.

I think if you wanted to heat some milk though, buy one of those Tommee Tippee Thermos type things, get it filled with boiling water at one of the food/coffee stalls that should be happy to oblige. Same goes for formula, then you just have to wait for it to cool down a bit!

Would people bring kids that young to EP?

Depends how much you want to take with you but I booked a locker in the campsite.

At present it looks dry up to about 10am or 11am but too far out to call it with that kind of accuracy yet, this evenings chart will give me a better idea.

I don't think they will be in the carpark, they are usually at the entrance just after the ticket/wristband exchange.

I got an email from cloudhouses saying they were given more space this year. I think they moved some of the huts previously in Boutique to pink moon and gave more space to yurts etc in Boutique.

Is she driving?

If so, hate to say it but the simplest thing she can do is two trips,
trip 1 - tent/sleeping bag type thing, head in get the wrist band etc...
trip 2 - go back for the heavier items so that she can breeze through the already checked in queue.

Ah sure, no harm having the kiddies there but peg Fuinneog & Sneatcha into bed with their organic treats before dark I say..

Couldn't be arsed taking mine with me, too much of a compromise for everyone.

Sure you'd never have seen that sort of thing at Feile!!!
Actually, no i did see a few fellas absolutely lamped with their kids outside Semple Stadium one year
