Right, I keep saying I will say more about it, and while I am sure that there aren't that many people who have been screaming with frustration at my lack of information there could be some. So for you...
Friday
Arrived, drove around the campsite for ages trying to find a place to camp. Eventually ended up on the edge of the youth section (which was fine btw). We were opposite the toilets though, which in some ways is handy and in some ways is noisy because - as I am sure you would understand they need dealing with regularly. Met up with lots of people, which is nice.
Saturday
It started well, I'm sure, can't remember the details right now... heard a few talks, met up with a few people. The main event of the evening was turning up at the Ned Flanders night 2 hours early to deal with publicity (well you know how it is), we were also told to disappear for half an hour to have a beer, which we did. But, fame being what it is, we were called back early for more photography. Interestingly enough that was what ended up in the National newspaper. I'm afraid I can't divulge which it was but needless to say I am pleased that, having sent my parents out to buy this paper, I was very glad that they didn't recognise me for a while!!!
Sunday
I had a shower and despite all the adverse publicity against them, the showers were really quite booked up. I ended up doing a ship-of-fools meet the hosts thing in the evening, and miraculously we had an audience!
Monday
Met Chris TD and what an honour it was indeed. We all had a good day, wandered around, and of course the highlight was the wiblog launch party, good fun was had by all, as well as a fair amount of wine. The evening was another Ned night.
Tuesday
Packed up and went home. Sadly.
