Just got back from my first weekend event. My nose is burnt red and my ankles are killing me but it was absolutely amazing.

I managed to borrow some soft-kit so there should be some decent pictures up in a couple of days.
Crawling back to you,
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? 'cause I always do.

Just back from Bathmen. I left a day earlier to avoid driving 4 hours with the train in full equipment and to see some of our families friends again. I did not see them for almost 2 years now.

Anyway, Bathmen was quite nice, just a shame that I do not have the European Fire Weapons pass yet. Vince broke his canteen and had to buy a new one and I broke my shoes on the first day.
Luckily it was dry, so I could still walk with them but they now have 2 large holes on the sides...
Duuring should have had a nice time too. As far as I can tell there was a lot of cavalry action going on.

Bathmen was quite nice, chaps.

My first event with my new glasses, I think I looked quite good.

But damn, that parade was long. And quite a big amount of spectators too.

awesome event, very tiring, but awesome. 

Olaf had to leave early which was a shame, the Sunday battle was much more awesome.

And F*ck the one who drew the parade plan to do AFTER the battle on sunday, how to troll your reenactors, nice job organization!

They should have done it on friday evening or something, like at Hoogstraten.

Then it's bearable.

Just having a parade through town is doable, zigzagging up and down the town making it a 4 kilometer+ parade marching in pas is just horrible. especially just after a extensive battle.

Pls... All you did was walking. I had to run across field and hit the dirt right away with full combat gear and a tent rolled up repeatly then get kicked around by Amis and being screamed in ear asking if I speak English.  In 88 degree. Thank god my unit drop out the ostfront battle. 4 battle and 5 skit really break you down fast.


I'm jelly of US solider gear. No wonder why the German lost the war. However was a great event. Pic coming soon.

Well, good that I did not stay till Sunday. I am not sure if I could have managed to walk 4+ KM with broken shoes. When I came back home the sole on the left shoe fell of completely. 2 Large holes and a shoe without a sole... Not perfect for marches!

I need some better shoes next times. I used these for 3 days and they are already completely wrecked...

A little random comment.

While looking around on Facebook I came across a... strange reenactment unit. Some blokes decided it would be a good idea to reenact a WW2 Fallschirmjager unit, with nazi flags all over the place, in CHILE.

I can understand reenacting WW2 in the US, Canada or Europe... but Chile?

I think people should reenacting anything anywhere.
Humans are extremely complicated creatures. Death uncomplicates them to a frightening degree...
