Gurtenfestival is a huge annual 4-day music festival on the top of a hill near Bern. I got a two-day pass and a camping pass for the Saturday evening. Bands consisted of Oasis, Travis (my favourite) and Kings of Leon and genres consisted of German rock, British rock, ska, Swiss celtic metal music, and pop music in the dance tents. Once arriving in Bern, we checked out the market and accessed the spices, cheese, suspenders, victornox knives and swiss army knives, and bread. It was overcast and it had rained the previous evening meaning that everything was muddy and wet on the top of Gurten. In Bern, we could see festival-goers with filthy clothing and mud covered shoes. The only solution was to get some ‘wellies’. Mine where the only size 41 in the store and are checked green with red laces. Once equipped – it was time to go to the festival. We took the vernacular up to the top with our camping gear – very small tent (made for 2 – we slept 3) and sleeping bags. The camping area was well very equipped with showers, bathrooms, array of tents, and hopefully you don’t get snagged on rope because otherwise it was a face-plant in the mud. It was by far the most mud I’ve ever seen. The weekend was amazing, tiring, music-blasting, dirty, friendly, head-banging, squished and unforgettable.
