Return to the Dark Ages - Photos

[Eric_Methven]

Here's some of the photos of the Dark Age meet at Danelaw.

I had an inkling at this point that when Wayland said "Come to Danelaw for a dirty weekend", it wasn't exactly as I'd imagined.

Making "Daub"

Child labour laws didn't exist in the dark ages

So we worked the twins to a standstill.

Adding water to the straw and mud.

A knackered old man

A short period of recovery

Refreshed and ready to skive again

Just a posey shot in the longhouse

And another, just for fun

Yea! Slap it on and rub it in.

Dirty Vikings!

"Oi! Gerr orf moi land"

I look forward with great anticipation to the other photos that were taken by other fellow peasants.

A most enjoyable weekend Gary. Thanks so much for organising it. Thanks also to everyone for their friendship and good company.

Great pictures Eric (and love the captions!)

Thanks for organizing it Wayland, I had a great time, though I wasnt seen about much I spent most of it indoors carving a spoon and doing leather work. Last time we did the meet, several members of the public popped their heads round the door so I wanted to look the part, but nobody did this time , which is odd because last meet the weather conditions were FAR worse!!

That looks fun!
Daubing is fun!
I did a bit (building an extension for an orphanage in Thailand) a while back and it is definately a case of "many( dirty) hands make light work!
Did you mix in any cow dung to give it extra durability?

Looks good. Shame I couldn't make it, but just to confuse things, here's a pic of my costume from the Sat'day. Took an age to make, but was v well received.

Hope to get to the next one. SWMBO has promised I can go, even if it falls on a W/E she has plans. Brownie points - just love em.

Looking good there Paul,, why dont you wear that for middlewood ?,

 

[Mesquite]

Very dapper Paul

 

[PJMCBear]

I suspect it might be a little damp for that outfit. Besides, you seeing my calves in tights might give you funny ideas, woof!
