It's really quite amazing.http://community.webshots.com/photo/95863701/95865220tdHFplThis illustrates what one determined group of reenactorswhose paid membership is one fiftieth of the paid membershipof the SCA can do. They are about the size of my SCA Barony.They also own several viking ships.A sizable number of the few people who are making this happen.Remember Regia is spread all over Britain and this is in thesouthwest near Canterbury:http://community.webshots.com/photo/95863701/95865458BQuRNfI don't think I have seen more than forty or fifty in allthe photos of the erection.Kim really ought to write a book about the way Wychurst hascome to realization and how the building was built.Some peoples' Dreams really do come to realization.There are hundreds of books about the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons.There are very few on historical recreation on this scale.Master Magnus, OL [SCA], Barony of Windmasters' Hill,Manx, GDH, Regia.org-------- Original Message --------Subject: *WH* Second Revised Edition - Viking Weapons and WarfareDate: Mon, 15 Sep 2003 20:23:37 -0400From: rmhowe Reply-To: rmhowe To: "- BARONY of WINDMASTERS' HILL" Poster: rmhowe Viking Weapons and Warfareby J Kim Siddorn"With a passion for re-enactment and an unwavering fascination with theVikings, Kim Siddorn writes an engaging description of the Vikingwarrior.
