Nice one Brennivs!,yes,it was quite glorius on the Saturday,a real pity about Sunday though,still,it could have been worse,some of us were undercover when it belted down hard showing our sunburn to a disbelieving public,roll on the next one eh! :lol: .
Re: Binchester 25-26 July event 2009 - brennivs - tony drake - 07-28-2009
Yes too right at least the ballista and bows kept firing after the down pour :lol: :lol: and I have tiger stripe feet :lol: lucky you undercover while we only had a tree and sun hats. Great event though as you say roll on the next one
