Hello

Have you been to EP before?

Wilde is like a less evolved version of downtown Mogadishu on a saturday night.

How are we supposed separate which is your smoke effect from the dozens of mad max like funeral pyres and the local drama club re-enacting the battle of the somme (complete with replica trenches )

Wilde is genreally chilled i thought?

well that will firstly depend on which car park. It could be walked in 10 minutes, but depending on queues, searches, how much you're carrying, bad timing etc... you can be on the move for over an hour.

Depends on where you're parked. If you're in the Red car park about 10-15mins, longer if you're in the Green Car park.

Can u bring ur own bogroll into the campsite and main arena or will security take it off me ?
I've piles (which will be flaring up bigtime from all the beer) so I can only use really soft jacks paper

I have, and you're quite right. I'll bring some to Daft As Punk meet-up... 2:30am, copious amounts of alcohol, what could go wrong?

Wilde is grand. Hendrix on the other hand...

Ehh, assuming you're not taking the piss, there's no problem with bringing in as much soft bog roll as your heart desires.

Security will nab them. They hand them out for free at the Andrex installation in the main arena though.

Depends which car park you end up in, how much stuff you're carrying + there will be queues for security and wrist band exchange.

Have a look at this;

Stalked this thread for the past few weeks and only remembered my password now.

Staying Boutique because I'm just not tough enough for the mean streets of the other campsites, not sure where my limo driving is staying but that is not my problem .

Thanks to all for making this thread so helpful over the last few days, esp Villian for the weather updates. Everyone enjoy and if you see a stately looking gent in a fur coat wandering around the main arena return him to Boutique as I'm clearly lost.

Arriving late Friday so aiming for the small Chaplin site just to the right of the wrist band exchange. Anyone stayed there?

Wilde is grand if you dont mind about 600 overdoses each morning, people pissing on your tent every two seconds, lads so out of it they run around falling into tents/ breaking them (and noses) from 3-7am every morning, pulling up pegs and rows/ threats of violence at least once an hour...

Wilde has gone to ****e.

Only just noticed having done my clashfinder that I was missing my annual fix of Cathy Davey.

There's no Hazelwood stage listed on the fecking thing at all.

So "wilde" by nature eh? I didn't find Warhol too bad last year, not in our area anyway.

I'm going with either Warhol or Joplin this year, I think.
Just put off by the trek in but think it'll be worth it all the same (from what I hear!)

I do love that the Salty Dog is just at the entrance of Wilde but hey ho..
