so rumours have said that the dates have been confirmed for Hastings 950th.

It is apparently set to take place on October 16th 2016.

book it in your diaries! its gonna be epic! They are expecting twice as many reenactors as there was at the 150th of Gettysburg.

the 940th of Hastings in 2006, had 15 000 reenactors on the field!

I will be there, swinging my future dane axe around  :D

Yes, at the actual field in Hastings in England.

I will be there as one of king Harold's bodyguards called the housecarls or huscarls in modern English. We swing the big axes taunting the Normans :D

Armour is chain mail or gambesons. Depending on how rich of a person you are representing. For safety reasons, we usually use chain mail.

Hope to see ya there :)

$2000 a return trip

plus the equipment i have to buy thats accurate to within a 15 year period. and i have 3 years to do it.

EDIT: $2000 is at the moment. It could rise or it could drop between then and now. I dont think I can actually book my ticket for 2016 yet.

NO, most Airlines only allow 9 months pre to actually book, which is a little silly.
