Revel in the Midnight Sun II

Revel in the Midnight Sun 2 took place on the weekend of May 24th-26th 2007 at Finnastašir, near Akureyri. We had the honour and pleasure of playing host to visitors from elsewhere in Insulae Draconis and also from the far-off Kingdom of Glen Albeann.

On Friday our overseas visitors were taken on a tour of northern Iceland including whale-watching, the whale museum at Husavik, the Nature Baths at Myvatn and the hverir at Namafjall. The weather was certainly not ideal, but by the time we were all relaxing in the geothermal pool we didn't care any more.

The main day of the event had similarly unpleasant weather but this didn't stop us from holding classes in armoured combat, fencing, spinning and tablet weaving in the tent where we later held the evening's feast. There was also dancing and gaming, and everyone at the event planted a tree to celebrate it; we also planted trees for Their Majesties and Their Excellencies the Viceroy and Vicereine.

Sunday was as beautiful as the previous days had been grey and miserable. We could now hold armoured combat and fencing classes outdoors and even managed to do some target archery. Then finally, once the tent had been struck and packed away, we relaxed in another hot tub and began to plan Revel 3 for next year.
