Greetings Lucretzia,

I was trying to figure this problem out too, as you stated you don't 
drive....  

As you're probably aware already, depending on where the site is in Wales 
there may or may not be a train or a direct road going anywhere near it.  A 
lot of Wales is not accessible very easily unless you have a car at your 
disposal.  (Lots of twisty narrow roads full of sheep) :-0

I'd say it would be quite hard to lug pre-cooked stuff in any quantity all 
the way there from London unless the site was pretty much on the main train 
route or roads south or north or you had a car or something... (or someone 
else's car).

I have a question also regarding doing an event at a site in Wales... :-)  As 
far as I've been able to discover, the nearest SCA shire to Wales in Britain 
is in fact in England (Oxford I believe?) so although I'm happy Wales is the 
site for an event like this, it seems far and isolated for people to go to 
considering how far it is from the nearest SCA group...  Does it mean 
interest in the SCA in Wales is on the increase then?

The Welsh are an hospitable sort, often the type willing to offer to take 
stray travellers into their homes if they have no accomodation, and a few 
nights spent  ahead of the event schmoozing with the locals in a pub or two 
at whatever village is close to the site, might prove very fruitful in not 
only finding you a few kitchens to cook in, but also some volunteers and 
several new enthusiasts....  It's a thought :-)
