    I'm planning on heading down on Thursday afternoon and will go ahead and put mine up anyway and see if I am prevented from doing it or asked to take it down - worth a shot anyway. Will post back here and let you all know how I got on.

    Waiting with baited breath about the awning. With the forecast rain, it'll be crap to have not have the extra space. Good Luck!

    Loads of awnings up here and nothing said, some tents also. Some people have got a standard box trailer with an awning off of it and have been let in so seems grand.
    I have the caravan behind my bongo with two awnings and got them both in on a car + caravan ticket.
    Found the queue much better this year but maybe got here about a half hour earlier, got setup, made dinner, few tins and now hitting the hay

    Hid everyone hold up in the rain? Got some leakage from the awning on my bongo but the caravan awning is dry as a bone! Few more heads this morning, not helped by the one guy in campervans who's been blaring tunes all morning!

    A few drips but nothing too bad. Getting family wristbands was a bit of a pain in the arse though Friday eve - staff not properly organised/informed at all.

    Got a proper soaking in the main arena this morning when we went for a wander. Hot showers are the winner though! Just back from LCD and they were excellent.

    Bringing kids is the best hangover preventer ever...

    The main camper area was left in fairly good shape certainly where I was. One group left tents, chairs, broken picnic tables ect and some rubbish but that was all I saw.

    No problem with awnings and extra tents.

    I was surprised at the number of tents set up in or around campervans. Beside me there was 3 people in a campervan and 3 small tents beside them for extra adults.

    The only time I saw security was when a van close to me started engine around midnight to charge battery and they were told to shut it off.

    didn't seem to be a problem running engines during the day.

    My own battery held up pretty well and only used about 30% from Thursday to Monday so that was a bonus.

    Security seemed a lot less strict than last year alright. The campervan area was a kit cleaner than the campsite, most groups has no problem putting their mess into the bins.
    Walk is a bit of a pain but otherwise no drawbacks apart from the state of the portlaloos on monday morning.

    Don't forget your campervan/caravan passes have just gone on sale for 2017

    They sold out fairly quickly last year with no 2nd release.

    Delivery charge has gone up:(

    well I don't think they will sell out in a day or 2 but certainly better getting in sooner rather than later..

    Got my general one, the family ones were sold out after less than 10 minutes, I suppose they reduced the numbers even further then. Price is ridiculous too - 75 + 12.50 delivery + fees. 93 euro for entry to a field with less facilities than the proper campsites.

    EP Twitter is saying so, so you might have had one of the last ones in your basket before they sold out!

    Yeah, could be something like that. I checked them out online, then said I would head down to my local TM to get them there, queue was out the door so I came back home. Logged on to boards and saw your message so darted back over to TM and bought ASAP. I guess what I am saying is I owe you a pint next September!

    Managed to get one also but hearing they're sold out now. I wouldn't mind the price if they just had more toilets and kept them clean. It is still good value on comparison to the likes of pink moon though.
