A group of eight people (seven men and one women) standing in a row in attractive parkland. Seven of them are dressed in mediaeval costume and several wear armour and carry weapons. The man second from the right has an impressive moustache and carries an axe. The one on the right (me) is not in costume, but wears camouflage shorts, a black Slayer t-shirt over a long sleeved black top, and carries a rucksack, map case and umbrella.

With a group of fellow enthusiasts at #BodiamCaste, nine years ago today. I'm on the right, armed to the teeth with map case and umbrella. With more than 300 miles walked, Battle approached. #BattleOfHastings
