It's such a shame you can't make it Toddy, I know the twins were looking forward to seeing you again, not to mention me and Bramble! never mind, we'll see each other at the bushmoot again no doubt!

Eric, it'll be nice to put the face to the name, hope you don't come down with some 'orrible sickness that stops you coming this time. ;)

Out of interest wear did you get the trim that is around the neck and cuff for the tunics that wayland is wearing and like the guy in the yellow tunic? i am interested in making a tunic too for my own uses:)
Also do you know of a pattern anywhere?

The trim is Tablet woven, They call it Card woven on the other side of the pond.

A quick Google should get you an idea of how it's produced.

All mine is hand produced and traded for over drinks around hearth fires. (Probably as authentic as you can get. :D ) but I think there may be a few traders out there that can supply.

It's not essential but it's spot on if you can get it.

We were thinking of tanning a deer hide whilst there. we have allum and the skin. it wouldnt be traditional but it would give us something to do while the public are about.

OK. Timing wise we will be arriving Friday night sometime around 7 - 7.30. I can't be there any sooner as I'm working in Southport all day.

We will be in the Grubenhouse as usual and I know that the large house (1st right on the track) and the first house on the left (the one that Nick was in last time) are both unavailable for us.

Anyone arriving before us will have to negotiate with whoever is there from the other group but there should be enough accommodation for all of us.

I'll post more details as I get them.

Me and the missus are planning on arriving around 9pm.

In addition to the dark age clothing are there any recommendations of kit to bring from peoples experiences last time?

Thanks

Warm bedding and something to hide it during the day :D
Candles are awfully useful, tealights would do.

Have fun, wish I was coming too :rolleyes:
