I'm safely home. A little lighter of wallet, slightly more sunkissed and a little stiffer than I'd like, mind.
I had a great time and it was lovely to meet everyone and put (nobody noticed I tagged the submit button a little early, right? I'm shattered, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!) faces to names. It has made me even more determined to get along to some of the meets in the South and to be in good enough shape to camp next year so as not to miss out on the night time shenanigans.
Same (similar?) time next year folks?

How rude of me, the weekend wouldn't have been as awesome as it was were it not for @spikeyfridge 's hard work organising the marquee (and everyone who chipped in for it, especially those who couldn't attend or paid extra!) and the lovely prizes kindly donated by VE Jason. I can't thank you guys enough. A massive thanks to *-SARIN-* too for getting me there and back safely and putting up with me for longer than anyone should have to I'll shut up now, at the risk of sounding any more like an award acceptance speech!

Back home here as well, sad I didn't get to meet everyone but glad to see some regular faces as well as meeting @spikeyfridge. A huge thanks for sorting out the marquee! Sorry I didn't get to say hello properly to Roscopecotrain, I didn't realise you were leaving as we got there, sorry to hear about your camera, hope you get that sorted. The organisers done a great job from what I saw of my little time there today.

Sorry I had to dive off early on Saturday, but I had to get back to London to get the Missus something to eat for her evening meal, found out I managed to get a bit sunburn, must remember to bring a hat next time - Thanks to @spikeyfridge for the organisation and everyone else that helped get it all up and running, was nice to catch up with a few faces from last year, and a few others I had never met before in person.

Well done AAEC Vapefest 2015 crew, a banging weekend made possible by the quality people who were present and the ones that contributed but couldn't attend. Thanks to the tent organisers @spikeyfridge and others who provided somewhere for BrenD not to get lost, to VE Jason for the generous raffle prizes, you'll never know how much you made people smile during a rather hungover Saturday in a field. It was good to put some faces to names or not as the case may be - Alan, we never met you but but rest assured you provided giggles aplenty at silly o'clock in the morning Roll on 2016.

How is everyone feeling today? Still a little delicate? I'm struggling to keep my eyes open and if it can hurt, it hurts.
I'm sure I'll feel human again at some stage before the weekend!

Home. Just. Great weekend. Special thanks to @spikey_fridge for all the hard work involved with the marque (and for being so pleasant on the eyes). To @ve Jason for his lucky dip and support to AAEC members. Thankyou.

I've finally caught up with my sleep, for 1st time in years I slept solidly from 10pm to 7am! Pity I'm now scratching my sunburn/prickly heat infested scabby arms - only I can be cross at too much sunshine!

home today my arms are still stinging from the sun! weather was fantastic. was brilliant to meet old and new people. thank you for letting me have my bossy head on and letting me get away with being a total clown. loved every minute of it. Roscopecotrain no camera handed in VapingBad no glasses, although someone did leave their sunglasses behind. there will be a lost and found thread on the vapefest web page. very well organised this year, i thought and please find ALAN!!!!!

Just to chip in my twopenneth as well, big kudos to @spikeyfridge and VE Jason for their mega efforts with base camp and the lucky dip raffle, many thanks both. And it was good to meet some of you that I missed last year... (and to avoid getting photographed, for the sake of people's camera lenses ) ...the only down side I can recall was almost colliding with our former secret agent in the vamp vape tent
