Bombard saftey

Even when re-enacting earlier periods correct safety procedures should always be met, here demonstrated by Gail whilst seating the charge.








and the result of an appropriate (non SK size or grade) charge i.e. about 4lbs Foa.

Easter at Clyst Hydon

Over the winter one of the oak treas in a neighbouring field came down, a nice straight log;
we have been given permission to use some of the wood if it is of any use to us.
at Easter a small and intrepid band set out with the two handed saw to section a length that we would like to get planked for a future project.
all went well the next stage will be to remove the log to the saw mill.



Every one had a chance to have a go.
