Right, the prize is a Surprise package.

The question is;

To create a travelling pantechnicon of Iron Age demonstration.

 

[oldtimer]

Visit to the moot wearing self made iron age clothes.

 

[Tengu]

Is no one interested? I thought this would be fun.

 

[hughtrimble]

Move to Scotland using iron age navigation and transportation, limiting oneself to taking only 700 books.

 

[Machiavelli]

My guess:

Building an Iron Age settlement for “a quiet weekend”, before explaining repeatedly to stunned passers-by that it’s not glamping, its experimental archeology.

 

[NotSafeForWork]

Throw down the shackles of society, live rent free and travel.

 

[Tengu]

Right, the prize is a Surprise package.

The question is;

What have I planned for this Summer?

The winner should display a degree of accuracy and imagination.

To not get an Air Fryer.

To run over your neighbour's cat because it keeps crapping by your front door.

To switch off your mobile phone for a day.

To have a bath / do the washing / polish your boots / clean the kitchen.

To remember to put the Recycling out on the right day.

To not be shot by I.C.E.

To swim in the sea (sewage permitting).

To confess that sin.

To make it to the Summer.

To invade neither Greenland nor Iran (a given, in that you haven't planned foreign travel).

To empty the bucket of lists.

To remember that you'd planned to do something in the summer. (Hmmm... But can you remember what it was again?)

 

[John Fenna]

To visit Castell Henllys in full Iron Age cozzie...

 

[Tengu]

Forgot about this...I am sorry.

Some interesting answers but not many seem to fit...I am too imaginative.

i would say Pattree which is accurate...but not imaginative. (and I did say both.)

Are you are the Wintermoot, Pattree?

 

[Pattree]

Which one Tengu:
You want to get rid of a Surprise package

Or

Smelting and forging your own axe from meteoritic iron under the guidance of Hephaistos or Wayland.
Oops - edited add …. or Goibniu!!!

Sorry. Just adding some post dated imagination.

No I regret that won’t be at the winter Moot. I don’t think that I have a contribution to make there. I shall be at the Mind Moot - hoping to find one to replace the one I’ve lost.

Are you going to tell us what your plan for 2026 is?
Very best,
Pat.

 

[Tengu]

Im not really sure.

Id like to go on another cruise but I dont have the money for that.

The Crannog Centre will be opening their new Crannog this year (Provisional date of May the 24th, guys, pencil that on your calendar. I hope to see you there)

I am writing the guidebook. (Big responsibility)

I am definitely going to try to get to St Kilda this summer.
