Any weather predictions (or yokes)?!!

I predict the yokes weather will be only fantastic.

Is Stradbally town actually that close as a general festival punter ? Remember driving through it when the festival wasn't on, was in complete shock as to how close it was! Been for years and didn't realise.

But when the festival is on, there are only really two gates you can leave the site to get to town, the bus stop/quarry one and the paint ball exit the opposite. I left via the bus stop one a few years back to get cash in town, atm queues were a mile long. In my mind it was a bit of walk! That was with can in hand mind you!! There and back took 40-50mins? Does that sound right? It was a sizable chunk out a very clashy Sunday.

A few people have mentioned the possibility of Justice being on the 3rd announcement... That would quite simply be the cherry on the cake for me at this stage.

Failing that I'd love to see something heavy like Gesaffelstein or Boys Noize !

Yeah, depends what state you're in. A brisk, sober walk from any gate is 15mins tops to the town.

Paintball exit is the closest one as far as I remember. There's a walkway and the end of it leaves you right in the town

bodhrandude · 03-08-2017 05:25PM

Yeah I suppose the journey is shorter for me as I'm based in the crew camp and if you take the back path its about 10 minutes tops. Your right about access ways becoming more limited when the festival is on. Probably more like the outskirts of the town where the punters entrance/exit is.

Wasn't that Phoenix?

Just did a check on my new cooler boxes, I can happily report both take 26 cans.
This time 4 weeks I'll be packing the fridge with Bulmers and wondering should I buy more.

Picked up 2 in Heaton's for €9 each, fairly flimsy but are watertight.

LowOdour · 04-08-2017 12:01PM

This time 4 weeks, we will hopefully be cracking open the first beer of many for the weekend!

Such is my excitement that i got my sleeling bags/mats out to clean and pack up. Got other bits and bobs i have left over from last year.

Going buying my beer tomorrow too....what a time to be alive!

scruff monkey · 04-08-2017 12:04PM

28 sleeps on the nose.

i'm starting to get a little moist....

but not yet frothy...

Fatfrog · 04-08-2017 01:06PM

I hope Mr Carlow Weather man will grace us this year! Predictions were spot on last year, I was nearly deciding what wet gear to bring from the tent every time I left, based on his forecasts!!

I actually just have a full time festival bag at this stage! It has all the little bits, toiletries, tourches, pocket sized rain coats, ponchos etc etc. which are fairly time consuming to pick up with 1-2 days to go

, usually considered 'not that important' but they are.
Must ppl tend to chuck things like these in the bin after every festival, but they're GOLD to keep.
Bar the other bits, beers etc etc, I just throw this bag in while packing. Super efficient!!

Me too!! All my festival bits stay in a rucksack all year round.Festival clothes get washed and then put straight back in then too so im always practically packed to go, its great

If you're a Three customer, they have a 3Plus deal currently on a €25 festival bag from some pharmacy for €15. No idea what's in it, but might be some useful things like sunblock

Wouldn't it be better though with a sun magnet.

Have the Spotify playlist on, Japandroids are very close to getting the good highlighter when clashfinder is printed.
Always thought Hudson Taylor were a pop band, could be alright for an aul knees up if there's nothing else going on.

LowOdour · 05-08-2017 05:13PM

Has anyone ever brought a trolley with them to the festival? Was looking at something like this (but maybe a better quality one)

http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=15551&langId=-1&categoryId=323808&productId=1312777&storeId=11101

I'd say if conditions are wet then not worth the hassel?
