frualeydisI had a great time at Boar Hunt. I drank a little too much on Friday night and got to bed too late, so I was rather tired on Saturday, when the three main activities took place: an archery trail in the nearby forest, where we shot at plastic and paper animals (3D and flat), a lunch inspired by a hunting lunch by Gaston Phoebus' Book of the Hunt , followed by fighter training where the fighters took the roles of hunters, dogs and boars. Of these I took part in the lunch and the archery trail, when they were fightig I hung out with friends and then had a quick dip in the lake (13 degrees C). That was followed by more skinny dipping, but this time after sittign in the sauna for a while with the fighters. Very nice and great fun, I like our fighters.
The archery was great fun. This was my first real attempt at archery - I have tried it a little at a friend's place once and one shot at St.Egon this year. And I hit "animals"! Not many, but still. Here's my outfit:

This is my old pink cotte, that I made in 2008, and a green surcoat made from handwoven wool twill, made around the same time. It is based on Herjolfsnes 39 , though without the piecing and the lace holes in front. I also wore a bycocket sewn from wool flannel and lined with silk.
After the fighting we had dinner, and I got some really good stuff with egg, apple and saffron instead of the meat (since I turned lacto-ovo-vegetarian in June). Then we went to court, which was nice and short, before returning to the dining hall and dessert. And more drinking with my friend Erik.
In all, a really good event. Next event for me will be Kingdom University, which I am arranging.
