no probs at all for the battle,there was plenty of russian,estonian and latvian reenactors with very very visable runes and swazzies on show,we stuck to winter gear and no runes etc,i would nt go on the town with them though,another thing is dont take any original kit,this is deemed as russian property having crushed the facist beasts lol,get yourself there,its a hoot.
ps,ropes,the flight there is HORRENDIOUS MATE :lol:

So most of us will be flying out of Gatwick on the 21st on Easyjet flight no. 8967 and back on the 26th flight no 8968. Will we be sending off our passports in one go again ?

Aye, it were a grand time and no mistake. I thought you tied in with the lads seamlessly.
It felt (to me anyway) like you had always been part of the group.

I particularly enjoyed the trip to Peterhof. Stunning.

Cant make it this year myself (work) so anyone who needs to book in needs to contact Bobski (Pirka on here), and I would advise a bit of speed.................
