    I've spent weeks trying to tell the missus to buy walking boots but she's going with wellies. I'm going to have to listen to some amount of crying about blisters and sore feet.

    I am walking boots fan too but in fairness to my Mrs she just picked up a pair of wellies that weigh about the same as a pair of running shoes.

    Think the manufacturer is Demar.

    Sitting on the North quays here at damp Dublin town dreaming of a hopefully Sunny Stradbally.
    Any sign of our man in Carlow with the weather yet?!

    Le Galaxie have added a permanent female band member so I wonder if she'll take those parts rather than guest vocalists?

    Where'd you see that?

    they said a few months ago that MayKay of Fight Like Apes is now a full-time member of the band. Fight Likes Apes broke up a while back.

    I downloaded Trainspotting 2 last night and enjoyed the film, but what got me even more excited was the soundtrack, I really enjoyed the three tracks by Young Fathers, so will make a special effort to see them. I think folk were raving about them a few year back when they played the Body & Soul village.


    They were brilliant before massive attack this year

    The Friday, Saturday and Sunday only refer to the main headline acts as far as I know.

    The rain the last couple of days won't have done the site much good, it's been a wet enough August in general, a couple of weeks of relatively dry weather will help the cause greatly

    Was thinking that yesterday, I'd assume the site build out has already begun or is gearing up this week.

    It's been a dry summer overall though... the ground will be ok

    It's far too early for weather forecasts at this point, confidence rating would be extremely low - the conditions are such at the minute that 24 forecasts are pretty low confidence at the minute too. It's very unsettled.

    At the minute, at least, today and tomorrow are going to see a large amount of rainfall in the area, but it should be lighter the rest of this week, and relatively warm, so hopefully the site will maintain good conditions.

    If you want that extremely low confidence forecast for the weekend right now, it's looking like:

    Thursday - Light Rain
    Friday - Heavy Rain
    Saturday - Light Rain with dry spells
    Sunday - Light Showers

    As I said, low confidence!

    howdy, just wondering if anyone knows where i'll be camping if i am staying in a Yurt? i was in Pink Moon last year and remember seeing Yurts, Pods etc but a friend is suggesting we may be in the 'boutique campsite'. Cheers

    over the otherside of the arena to pinkmoon

    Pretty sure you're in the main Boutique camping area then, not Pink Moon. Pink Moon section contains Pink Moon and I believe also Festihuts and maybe PodPads too.

    But you should have received instructions from LPM as to where to go, no?
