Dark Age Meet 3

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I'll provisionally say yes, but I might not be able to stay for full weekend.

As this will be my first Dark Ages meet what will I need to bring/wear kit wise?

Cheers Richard
 
As much as I'd love to join in on this the wifes birthday is slap bang in the middle of that weekend.

I don't think it would be appreciated if I were to go off and leave her to celebrate it alone :rolleyes:
 
Very interested. Perhaps a silly question, but how accessible is it via public transport?

As to a basic CV: archaeology graduand with experience of blacksmithing, wattle + daub and similar skills. Don't mind sharing living space with others, can sleep on a clothesline. No 'reenactment' experience as such, but I reckon I can knock together a largely accurate costume in time.

ETA: might be able to do some basic smithing demonstrations/workshops depending on what kit is available on site/I can bring with.

Yyyyeeeessss! Nothing booked for that weekend. I'm in. Even the wife entered it onto the calendar.

Time to dig out the sewing machine again. Is it just me or do costumes shrink after you've worn them once. :o:D
 
I plan yet another stew on saturday night - beef this time - can anybody do some flatbreads and maybe some vegs toi accompany - maybe bake some bread onsite?

it'll be onion free with lots of pulses & fresh herbs etc

Cheers

On a side note, Dharma and I do the same kind of things, is there anything in particular you'd like us to bring/ demonstrate ?
