What is that pink tent that I see in some pictures??

[John Conyard]

It is a .......tent.

A very old red tent that has faded, with a storage area, dining area with oak furniture, a large dressing area and room for two double beds.

I hope it will last another 10 years, and another hundred weekends away.

And real men can cope with pink.

Wow. The luxery... plus a truck to transport all this. Sigh. Back to sitting on the ground next weekend. :wink:

And real men can cope with pink.

As well as real Romans.

The tent easily fits into a car, with the furniture, fire base and family.

Getting yourself a tent, followed by awning and furniture seems an almost natural progression.

But I also take a second car for extra awnings, ballista, targets, my saddle and spare bodies.

It was a pleasure at Sledmere to open up the doors to the tent and eat my breakfast in the company of the horses on the picket line.

The camps just would not be right without the pink tent!

There was a lot of hard work that went into the show and everyone did really well. It was nice to see new faces and hear new voices

Glad to see the Taifali Inuores riding out once again. Knights, pansyies that they are, they should try and fight like Romans and see how much they get done!
