Just on the trolleys - you need one with thick inflatable tyres

Those hard rubber wheel ones are useless and can't handle a lot of weight and churn up muck/grass in the wheels and seize up and fall off and you end up having a barney with your girlfriend 'cos she 'has a sore back' and can't carry anything and it's pissing rain and you still have one more load to go back the car for and you won't have it leaving the campsite on Monday morning when you're silently evaluating your relationship as you struggle back to ordinary life again

Anyway, something like this

Can't recommend these enough. I have been using one for years.

Slim to none I'd say.

All forecasts I've seen have heavy rainfall, usually in two blocks: Saturday morning and Sunday night.

If I'm followed some stories on this correctly, these are the remnants of Hurricane Gaston - not an actual hurricane or anything, but heavy rainfall. Also it's relatively difficult to predict so we could be lucky and get less, or unlucky and get more.

I'm definitely bringing the waterproof trousers... and expecting to wear them (sigh)

No the remnants of Hurricane Gaston will be no where near Ireland at the weekend

There is another low system which will bring rain Saturday though.

Just went and picked up a Patagonia Torrentshell (voted Best Everyday Rain Jacket, did my research).

Don't forget waterproof trousers to match or else the run off from the jacket will soak your legs.

I actually do have a pair of those that I'll bring (campervan means you can pack everything) but really I'm not planning on being out in the rain for too long - I'd be okay with it myself, but I'll have a 10 week old baby in a carrier on my chest, and he won't enjoy it much!

Where exactly is the VIP campsite, I was always under the impression there wasn't one as such? (not talking about the glamping ones)

Where did you hear about a vip campsite? There's one below boutique for performers etc

You pass it on the right as you go into the entrance to boutique camping

It's through the boutique camping, other end of the same field basically. Or at least it used to be.

Performers campsite is separate.

He put out a book recently, probably taking about that.

Its basically the same field, we pitched tent next to the Tipi tents last year.

drunkmonkey · 31-08-2016 07:50PM

Lots of talk of Wellies, don't forget a warm hat it's where your going to loose most of you heat at night wandering around and in the tent. Pack a good beenie hat.

connundrum · 31-08-2016 08:04PM

Speaking of hats - If anyone has seen my Super Mario mushroom hat from last year, I'd really appreciate its safe return.

Last seen running away from me atop some scrotebag's head outside that poxy Cocktail place. Still devastated.

BrianosaurJr · 31-08-2016 08:18PM

Guest and performer camping are different yes. I'm in performer site this year, which comes with the 'luxuries' of no showers, no food stalls, nawthin. :P

Yr.no also looking positive!!

Teddington Cuddlesworth · 31-08-2016 09:12PM

I'm not gonna lie, I'm damned excited.

So excited I gave myself a dose of the runs...

freddiemoore · 31-08-2016 09:17PM

Weather not looking as good, not as many of my friends going and I've seen better lineups.. but this is the most excited I think I've ever been for the Picnic. Not been to as many festivals this Summer might be the reason but I can't feckin wait now!

Met.ie now saying rain for Sat morning and Sunday after dark.

I can work around that I think with Sleep, breakfast, beer in Camper on Sat and Phosporanet on Sunday evening.

TheChizler · 31-08-2016 09:42PM

Threw together a spreadsheet this afternoon of the Electric Picnic 2016 Stage Times so I could sort all the acts by time since all the lineups I'd seen before were sorted by stage. Said I might as well throw it up here if it helps anyone! It's by no means complete or guaranteed correct so double check before making plans!
