Packing the car..
|
|
|
|
Made it to the sign once again. We did all the traditional stops, of
course..
|
|
|
|
We were something like 3rd ones to arrive. We set up the tents quickly and
then started with the Heavy Metal Pavilion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the camp was done, we hit the beach to see the sunset.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Later on we left the camp to meet with old friends having arrived
on Monday, straight from Provinssirock as
we did once too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not many people arrived that night, but I think most of them
paid a visit at the garbage can fire in the rear end of the area ;)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Refill! We had NO space in the car (a small Opel and 5 of us..)
on the way there, so on Thursday morning we went shopping
to Kauhajoki. Ever seen anyone bring beer, coal, grill and meat
to a festival? Thought so.
|
|
After the stop to the market and a liquor store we went to Koskipubi
for a couple of beers. Very traditional thing to do.
|
|
|
|
We had hours to kill waiting for the rest of our camp (something like
30 or so people) to arrive, and it even got boring a bit when it
started to rain..
|
|
|
|
|
|
Inga stopped by at the camp.
|
|
Taking a small tour to other camps while (still) waiting for the
others.
|
|
|
|
This one had started drinking e-a-r-l-y.
|
|
|
|
Back at the camp. Five other cars had arrived. How long were
