There will be another Hugh post along shortly - I am in the middle of preparing it. But to avoid a 'post drought' I thought I'd share a video with you. It's from footage taken by some wonderful un-named and unknown (to me) person at the Camelford Charter 750 Medieval Joust which I attended as a member of Destrier (my first show!). This site is supposed to be the location of Camlann, Arthur's last battle, so it was quite fitting to have such an event here.
Here are Destrier in action - thanks also to Nathan Bale for putting the footage together.
It's always good to see knights in action - even if they aren't 14th century!And if you are wondering where I am, thankfully I am a tiny dot in the distance! And just in case you were wondering, yes, those are the modern equivalent of destriers and they require a degree of skill to handle them.
It was a fantastic show and I really enjoyed my time there, despite having to come home early through illness - next time I shall be seriously reconsidering the camping option!
Thankyou to everyone in Destrier who made me feel welcome and also for all the laughter!

Destrier - fantastic as always. Couldn't spot you Lady D :-)
It really is great to see knights in action!
Thanks everyone.
Su: I was on the opposite side of the tilt barrier in dusky pink peasant gear - I am there but it's a blink and you miss it moment. Not that I'm complaining - I hate myself on film ;-)
Lol, you should have dressed up as lady, with some gold thread embroidery and stuff. :)
Did peasants have pink anyway? It sounds lime one of the more expensice dyes.

After dealing with funky comments (they work now) we should find a way to deal with that typo demon, too. ;)
