I have also noticed that at some of the sites it is not easy to access areas
that you might be interested in due to the condition of the ground that you
have to cover. This could be simply the presence of all of the limbs/pine
cones/rocks/hidden holes/etc. A bit more care with choosing the locations
for Merchants Row, the Feast Hall, the Hafla, and even some of the fighting
might be appreciated far more than adding more "ambiance" to an event.

Just my 2 cents,

Maybe asking the assistance of someone with a disability...or a member of their family or household would help the person looking at sites for events. Too many people who are not disabled, or not dealing with someone with a disability don't take those problems into  consideration
