Aldi/Lidl/Halfords

Can't go wrong, Aldi do some sweet little headlamps, adventuridge I think there called, well handy for a fiver and can double up as festival headwear

[Window Licker]

In case anyones looking for a heavy duty festival cart, I bought this online last summer, its the business, can carry absolutely everything you'll need and has whopper tyres for terrain and muck, slightly big to fit in the car but the wheels come off so it can slide in the boot.

Hmm maybe i'll organise it right now. Where do you think is a good spot???

We'll be there by about 9 / 10 am on the Friday. Still need to get a flag. Who had the efest flag last year?

Ive set up a thread on the group forum for the common camp if you want to take it over there. Ive done up a map with a good spot on it aswell, about three quarters up the yellow campsite say (Sure check out the map in the thread an you'll see for yourself). The spot can change aslong as it suits everybody, I just think the one I have marked will be the easiest for everyone involved, close enough to the venue and cant be missed.

No idea who had the flag last year... weesteve maybe? Havent a clue.

I'll be arriving around 3 - 4 pm (driving from dublin cant physically make it any earlier )

Im sure a flag can be arranged easy enough, if not then a landmark.

[Kowalski]

Was kinda hoping we'd get an up-to-date site map on the official website, showing where front row camping is, just to verify if it's taking up the whole of the old Purple campsite or not.

Thomas' ticket arrived today with a mini map. It just says purple camping site. Not front row camping. Could be something to bring up with Jim. I'll try and post a picture.

[Window Licker]

Yeah had a look at that spot, only issue is that it's in the shade and that bit of land ended up being a swamp last year.

Would prefer further up the hill. Thoughts? Ideally we could camp in Purple zone. Grr.

I'll maybe buy a bright pink gazebo or something, and spray paint it. That would be a lovely landmark Right i'll get on this now.

[smutchie]

Is it the same as this map?

[Window Licker]

The map he got was almost identical except the section I have marked with a small red cross doesn't have anything in it, it's just green. Indicating that the VIP area will be alot smaller.

Window Licker...how about the area I have marked with a black cross?

Map 2010

We can work out a spot nearer the time. I'll just try and round up some commoners just now

[smutchie]

Thats fine by me, I remember that spot being quite a dip thou, it got swamped last year. Remember the sludge pit at the junction between purple, yellow and venue entrance. We'll be camped right beside that if the rain shows up
