Yr has rain and cloudy friday, temps not going above 20 for the weekend with cloud

ryaner777 · 01-08-2018 07:58AM

Picked this trolley up off adverts for €20 last week - bargain

They are available new @€;36 from https://www.ie.screwfix.com/heavy-duty-hand-truck-300kg.html but delivery might be tight at this stage

Also got a nice big icebox in The Range for €15. It's not electric but should keep me in ice until sunday.

Well I know where I'm headed after work!

Little tip I got from someone on boards for a few years ago for a festival

This bags are 3 for €1.50 in Dealz. They are great for holding cans and ice inside a backpack. Waterproof and resealable so no leakage. Keeps the beer cold all day and will work really well with the free flow policy in ATN

freeze a 2-5l bottle of water and put it in your cool bag; whatever meltwater comes off you can drink. And no mess. Get a freeze block (one of those blue plastic things and throw it into the cooler bag over night; take out and throw into backpack with cans for mobile cooler

Larger bottles stay frozen longer. Another wee tip.

Getting a headache looking at all that hoppy goodness.

I get a headache three Punk cans in, no delay on the hangover.

Looks Impressive.

I know those guys on that site .. yeah this looks like ****e ... If I can't bring my gas bottles, I actually don't want to go.

I just asked on their facebook, but it looks like the conversation has already been had with some of the lads on motorhomecraic.

I asked specifically about built in gas systems

Response was:

"Sorry no gas cylinders allowed on site . Gas will be confiscated on entry"

The flush · 01-08-2018 10:42AM

Been to ep in a caravan for years and never once asked about gas I know it's down on the dos and donts. But campers and caravans need gas for heating , hot water , and fridges. I will be taking it with me as I'd say most people will .

Usually buy my cans on site at the off license in EP, but this time will be looking to cart 48 cans each and our tent from car park.

I remember EP used to have people you could rent trolleys off, any idea if this will be here? Or any links to cheap trolleys?

Cheapest I could see is €90 which is steep for ten mins use!

Halford's have folding trolleys for around 16Eur at the mo. Picked one up at the weekend.

Yes but the EP website states explicitly that fitted gas cylinders in campervans ARE allowed. (https://www.electricpicnic.ie/information/essentials#info-section-37172)

ATN state explicitly that they are not.

erica74 · 01-08-2018 10:53AM

I'm not going in a campervan but, surely no gas cylinders nearly negates even going in a campervan?

MJohnston · 01-08-2018 10:55AM

One of the weather models is just in the middle of its current run, once that's done I'll update with my forecast, maybe around lunchtime.

I'm not in a campervan and never have been either, but from my understanding a lot of the gas cylinders are actually built in, right?

I'll be getting my popcorn and watching security "confiscate" the built in cylinders from a campervan. Surely they'd have to confiscate the van in that case?

:P

No, not really. I mean, certainly having the stove and (potentially) a gas powered fridge is very useful. But even without those you still have a much quieter sleeping space than a tent; a much more comfortable bed to lie on; better temperature control; potentially you'll have a shower (even room temperature water would do for a shower by Sunday morning at a festival!) and toilet available to you also.

Nah, they're generally removable so that you can replace or refill them.

Boooourns · 01-08-2018 11:06AM

Can anyone help me out on some info please??
We have to get home on the Friday night via taxi to Waterford (Babysitting issues) but i'm a bit confused with the shuttle bus. If we wanted the taxi to arrive at midnight do i get a shuttle bus back to the main enterance to get my taxi? and are these shuttle buses going until that time, can we walk to the main enterance?

I dunno about this. Having the caravan with no cooker, no hot water and no fridge really is a proper downer. I only bought my caravan for festivals. In the 8 years I have been at festivals in campervans and caravans, I have never seen this rule before and it really makes me wonder what I paid 60 quid for if I cant even use the facilities of the van.
