[Ansteorra-announce] War Practice after Candlemas

[Sean P. S. Gulick]

Greetings All,

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

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

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

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).
At the end of the cul-de-sac is a silver gate and a dirt road. Enter 
slowly.
Follow the dirt road straight back, (you will pass a construction site). 
The equestrian camping is in this area. 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.
