I've found that my drunk tent pitching skills are amazing.

Next time you're talking to Brendino ask him for the footage of me trying to pack a pop up tent! Takes me the better part of twenty minutes including help from one of my friends and me splitting my pants.

DCU Ken: there's a video of him attempting to put his tent. It's the best part of an hour long. We stopped filming when the camera ran out of batteries.

you're not allowed go up the castle until it's dark, and then you have to be drunk and can't use any light including the glare of your phone. sorry, them's the rules.
....
bring a torch.

Bring a torch so that you lose it the first night, miraculously find it in a ditch on the 2nd night, and realise you never brought batteries. stumble home through several nettle patches, and eventually get to show off how smart you are on the third night when ur 3euro lidl torch eventually works...
Its worth it...

and who ever said about bring swimming togs.... SHAME. Easkey is all about the 5 am skinny dipping.

p.s Asho, EPIC pic of billy and those speedos!

(last year was sunny so people went day-time swimming as well)

ah looks awesome! hopefully i can go. although i have to say now that my tent pitching skills arent the best, but granted i was a tad rat-arsed the last time i tried to pitch one and could only just about figure out how to get it out of the packet. i just kinda flattened it and slept under it-which works surprisingly well actually. but this also was in my mates garden during a sesh when we all decided to go "camping", so dunno if it would work as well in easkey. hmm

This is why we pitch them when we arrive, for ease of falling into later.

Guys just a heads up there are no longer toilet facilities available in Easky, so keep it in mind when you're planning this.

Man, those toilets were never that pleasant.... but better than nothing. Are they just locked or totally gone? They were locked before & we managed to source the keys, in fact i think Allio got copies made too.

Ok I stand corrected had a look around today the male toilets are boarded up and totally out of bounds, the female ones are accessable but wont flush and ... dare I say it.... in roughly the same condition as my first year Easky  :-[ The toilet situation could prove to be a problem if there is going to be a big gang heading down, any suggestions as to what could be done?
The place has obviously been used alot for parties and sadly it's in a pretty sh*te condition with fires and litter etc Which is a real shame after all the effort we put in to leaving as little trace as possible. It really is a beautiful spot.
