Over the weekend I visited Richmond Castle in North Yorkshire to see a dark ages re-enactment event - Norman fury, featuring, well, Normans (with a few Saxons as fodder). It was a nice day out, I took a few snaps which fellow toy soldier nerds might find useful or inspirational.

| The very impressive Keep |
 |
| Normans approach! |
 |
| And assemble for battle |
 |
Archers - Loose!
Apparently they would only shout Fire! if the arrows
were flaming - makes sense though not sure how they know this? |
 |
| Saxon response to the hail of arrows |
 |
| Saxons ready for combat |
 |
| Normans obligingly charge in |
 |
| Norman commander watches from afar |
 |
| Commander's shield |
 |
| Norman mounted knights |
 |
| One for the true nerds this shot, some garment colours |
 |
| Salmon is the new black |
 |
| Fatigue marker |
A very enjoyable afternoon in an impressive setting. I got to swing a poleaxe, a few ideas for colours and shield designs, and a ricotta and fig flavoured ice cream into the bargain.
