So we returned for double wars, washed everything and them immediately re-packed. You have to love Squire mail, Lena drove for 10 hours and dropped off our armour for shipping to Calontir (St Louis), not bad only took six days to get there, hell I recon if I fitted air holes I could do it :-)
So a week working then a week at Calotirs Local war. It hit 1500 this year even with the recession, not bad. Lena went out on the Tuesday before and helped with set-up, I followed out on the Friday. We then had a week of war.
Loads of fighting, loads of pick ups. I was given a small buckler which I fought all the pick ups / tourneys with then was kindly lent a scutini for the battles. Really had a loads of fun, I could not fight overly long, it hit 98F (37C) with 60% humidity, having only had a week to develop my gills I hit the stage where I had to drop armour to cool down.
It was great to see all the friends we made in the US, and the parties where wonderful.
