Griffin Historical – finding work for idle hands

[Mike Garrett]

Sweet!

[Mark Griffin]

You'll see it in the flesh, plus even more bits ( a bit of White Rose and Roy King creeping in) as I understand there is mounted skill at arms stuff to do in harness and that's jousting stuff, not field. More flipping polishing.....

[Mike Garrett]

True. I will indeed.
You need a squire...

[Mark Griffin]

well I'm told that's provided! Fingers crossed.

[Mike Garrett]

But will he polish your harness or just get grubby paw prints all over it?

Targe by Steven Lawton.

[Mark Griffin]

Thanks Andreas!

I have to add Roy King (Sabatons) and Dave Hewitt (Milanese field arms) to the ensemble for what I wore at Pendennis. Kind of just because I could but it was a better combination for mounted skill at arms than heavy joust armour.

Managed to break a solid lance end on Martyn Smith too, mega hit! Crowd pleasers R us...

Loving my new wasson helmet!

[Mark Griffin]

so thats 16 people behind one set-up. Must be a record!
