are you able to camp on the sunday night? we stayed in a b and b last year but are camping this year. think I remember a few tents left on the sunday, but tbh the memories a bit hazy! coming up on the Thu morning (short drive from InverSneck), looking forward to it!

I'm sure you can camp on Sunday night.

I seem to remember perthperson saying that she stayed behind for a couple of days last year.

You could always give the campsite a call to ask them if you want to be sure.

[irons]

You will be fine, we stayed for a week on the campsite after Loopallu last year and Perthperson was there too. In fact the Family Mahone were still playing in the Arch on the Monday if I remember correctly!

BTW, we are hoping to be there this year folks, but it will be very last minute as we have sold our house and have to move out on 11 September...

Hopefully we will be in the Seaforth on the Thursday evening as usual and trying to control Vicker!

cheers,

Pete

Ok guys

I think I'm just looking for a bit of encouragement.

I don't want to seem like a sado but I want to go to Loop but no one I know can go so I'm thinking of going on my own.

Is there enough for me to do on my own?, are other people going on their own? Its a bit of a drive up on my own so I'll be going on the thursday and I've got the tent set up down to 15 mins. So is there much to do on the thursday?

I really like my festivals but have only went to Bella this year (not only in a negative way, it was brilliant) and I want to go to this one. But I've never done a festival on my own.

I just need talked into it. (but I've already booked the time off work so I'm nearly there..)

[irons]

Go go go! It's small and friendly, especially the E Festrs. Typical village I guess, several pubs, some shops and it's stunning if it's sunny for a bit of walking on the Thursday/Friday.

[somerled]

The man speaks the truth. Somerled it would be great to meet again, just stock up the campervan with drink.

[somerled]

That's us sorted. Tix and a hotel organised. Looking forward to seeing you all again. Pete

16 days to go - hopefully the full line up will be announced soon.

I was looking at the official website, and last year the fringe details were announced 10 days before the festival started.

Ok guys?

Right, i have bitten the bullet and purchased 1 weekend ticket with camping so that I couldn't chicken out,

I now need to check out car hire

Also need to know how much it is to camp extra days?

really excited now!!!!!!!!!

[butchwade]

Can't remember how much an extra night's camping was last year.

Something like £15 I think.

I should ring the campsite to ask them if I was you. 01854 61 2020

News

Still no mention anywhere if LS are headliners or not, despite asking Robert by email twice and on this forum which bryanb has ignored perhaps they are trying to secure the 2nd headliner but if not able to then LS will be it

[Paul ™]

Echo & The Bunnymen were only announced as headliners on 8th September last year.. so still might be a late announcement

[Ringo_Spar]

We're doing it posh...

Missus booked a VW T4 Classic for the weekend!

[somerled]

ooops!
