Hey Steemians,

Thought I'd share this story, so in 2015 I went to The Best Metal Festival I've been to date. It was in France Clisson and myself and two other great freinds did it by road trip from the UK. We took the fairy from Dover to Calais @Muks, @Milimali and the other Friend(The Guy), We left Dover at about Midnight.

It was a 5:30 drive down to Clisson, there were cars parked all over in every road leading to the camp site and festival grounds

We arrived in Clisson around 6am Friday morning and were surprised at the camping site alone and how full it was, too give you an idea it took us an hour to find a spot to camp, it was full. I guess because it was the 10th Year Annivesary.
But the excitement starts kicking in and we setup camp as fast as possible to get to the ground quickly and finally we arrive at the Gates. Now we ready swing our heads and go METALally insane...hehehe.....Rock on.
