Metal Camp 2007

After discovering the joys of Metal Camp with Anth last year, we returned to the beautiful town of Tolmin on the edge of Slovenia’s Triglav National Park for yet more "Hell Over Paradise".

After finding a good camping spot close to the river, we got up bright and early to pick up Lynda from Bled. After a bit of sightseeing we returned to Tolmin and settled in for another week of music and sunshine.

Fortunately the weather was outstanding, with Eastern Europe experiencing a mini heatwave that brought temperatures in the high 30’s. We met up with plenty of Aussies – Lynda’s mates Nigel and Nadia, Simon who we’d met at Metal Camp 2006 and Jan & John who’d been with our Aussie crew at Wacken 2004.

Days were once more spent drinking down by/in the river or at the beach bar – we managed to salvage an old windsurfer board from a wrecked raft that served as a boat and a bar. Nights of course were spent watching bands, with Motorhead, Blind Guardian, Satyricon and Immortal the highlights.

It was a fantastic week and by the end we we all had considerably darker skin than when we started. The pictures give a pretty good idea of just how much fun Metal Camp was – take a look here.
