[Ansteorra] What to do at Outlands Battlemoor? Revels!!

[BennetBev at aol.com]

You are most certainly correct as well ! Are all Ansteorrans correct all  
the time? ;-)
 
The first Battlemoor was so much fun...as was the second and the third! Our 
 forth year is shaping up to be a great time as well, surely there will  be 
even more tales of glory from the bards.
 
I do understand though that fall scheduling is tougher than summer  
scheduling. Especially for those with young children.

I  remember that first year....but oh the fun I had.  Even the experience 
of  the windy nights is looked back upon through a fond lens...think of the 
ways a  bard can tell those stories!  
It wasn't as bad as the storm and  derecho winds at Triumphe a couple years 
ago.  :)  My daughter wrote  a narrative about how Odin visited court that 
night. ;)
I can't wait to get  the opportunity to return (scheduling in the fall is a 
bit trickier for me  than July 4).

You are most certainly correct.  


During BattlemoorI, we had awful winds during the night...so much  so that 
it spawned the FaceBook page 'Winds did blow, tents did soar, but I'll  be 
back again to BATTLEMOOR!'

The winds of the first year helped guide the design of the t-shirt  for 
BattlemoorII, which incidentally was much calmer though still a  little  windy.


The heat and wind of the first two years, which  were held on July 4th  
weekend, prompted the move to Labor Day  weekend. Last year was beautiful, 
less  
heat and no tent eating wind  :-)


Though I won't attempt to guarantee weather for the event, I'm  very much  
hoping you'll give Battlemoor another chance! We would  love the chance to  
welcome many, many of our Ansteorran cousins to  Battlemoor IV.

Having  gone to the first Battlemoor event and knowing  that my sister in 
law
lives  out that way, I offer up the advice to  those who are going to be
prepared  for wind that makes our here in OK  look like a spring breeze. 
When
we  arrived at oh God early in the  morning we found the entire site  
looking
like a bomb had dropped.  Stuff was strewn everywhere, people were  
wandering
out looking shell  shocked looking for their stuff that was blown  half way
across the  camp. It was deceptively calm during the day, but as  soon as  
the
night fell, all hell broke loose. After a few hours of enduring   the wind 
we
ended up in a   hotel.
