Damn, wanted to go to this but clashes with a friend's wedding on the Isle of Arran.

Hi Juuso I am afraid no photos of the event, taken part ment I could not film or photo it. But we all had great fun we came top for the Ballista on both days but with the other disciplines we came 2nd Sat and 3rd Sun. With the Antonine gaurd winning both days congrats to them  Smile  there are photos on farcebook of the event. Hope to redeem ourselves next year Wink

Sounds like you had a great time, at least you retained your sense of Humour Wink

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867

Thanks Ivor  Smile  it was all done with outstanding camaraderie on all teams helping each other out. But the Hasta we had to use not a javelin  Angry was the shape of a banana not the easiest thing to throw. So busy making a hasta to practice with as well as a Fvstibalvs for our displays.
