[Sean P. S. Gulick]

Hi All,

For those who missed it I am reposting the announcement for a war 
practice this sunday in Bryn Gwlad.  See below:

ANNOUNCEMENT
On Sunday the 8th after Bryn Gwlad's Candlemas there will be a War 
Practice out at Castle Garriott in Castleton on Don Shamino's property. 
We start the melees at 10:30 am and plan to practice for the Fort Battle 
as Castle Garriott is a fully enclosed assaultable Castle, as well as 
the Bridge Battle as there is a stone bridge suitable for fighting over 
in Castleton.  Directions are posted below.  Come out and lets practice 
for War!

Sir Gideon MacLeod
Southern Regional Commander

Detailed Directions to Castle Garriott
Coming into Austin, TX from the NORTH on I-35:


Take the RM 1325 exit (exit 250) and turn right onto RM 1325 (headed 
southwest).
After about 2.5 miles, the road will fork. Take the left fork onto Loop 
1 (Mo Pac).
After about another 2.5 miles, take the Capitol of TX Hwy exit (Capitol 
of Texas Hwy is also called RM 360). Turn right onto RM 360/Capitol of 
Texas Hwy.
Stay on RM 360 for 4 miles. Take the RM 2222/Bull Creek Rd. exit to the 
right.
Follow the "From RM 360 & RM 2222" directions, below.
Coming into Austin, TX from the NORTH on HWY 183:


Exit from HWY 183 onto RM 360 (also called Capital of Texas Hwy) headed 
south.
Take the RM 2222/Bull Creek Rd. exit to the right.
Follow the "From RM 360 & RM 2222" directions, below.
Coming into Austin, TX from the SOUTH on I-35:

Take the Ben White Blvd./HWY 290/HWY 71 exit (exit 229) and turn left 
under I-35 onto Ben White Blvd. (west bound). Note that the area around 
exit 229 is under construction, so the exit sign may not have the number 
posted.
When the road forks (about 2.7 miles), bear right. Signs should indicate 
that fork goes to RM 360 (also called Capital of Texas Hwy).
Stay on RM 360 (headed north) until after you cross the large suspension 
bridge over the river (about 9.5 miles).
Take the RM 2222/Bull Creek Rd. exit and turn left under RM 360 onto RM 
2222 (headed west).

Directions continued:
 From RM 360 (also called Capital of Texas Hwy)and RM 2222 (also called 
Bull Creek Road)

Go West on RM 2222 about 0.4 miles to the first stop light at City Park Rd.
Turn left onto City Park Road and go about 0.9 mile (up the steep hill) 
to Bridgepoint Pkwy.
Turn left onto Bridgepoint Pkwy and go until it ends (about 0.1 miles).
Turn right onto Coldwater Canyon drive. Follow this road around, past 
the barricade to the cul-de-sac (about 0.3 miles).
Just before the cul-de-sac is a balck gate which will be open and just 
after it is a dirt road. Enter slowly.
Follow the dirt road straight back, (you will pass a construction 
site).Continue to the site, go through the small cliffs and down the 
hill. Its a STEEP HILL so drive slowly.
At the bottom of the hill, just follow the dirt road around to the left 
and look for Castleton Village and Castl Garriott.

The site is the same one we have
used for Baronial Championships and
for Queen's Champion a few years ago.
