Elfin Hostel (28th - 30th March 2014)

(Apologies for the delayed blogpost!)

The weather broke just in time for North Oxford Elfins' first Elfin Hostel. We joined up with Iffley Fields and Woodstock Elfins for a beautiful sunny weekend on the theme of the Iron Age.


Appropriately - accommodation was primitive and conditions were harsh…




and - bright and early the next morning - everyone was sent off on a forced march...


only to find - on a distant hilltop - this Roman centurion - far from home in time and space


...and in need of some friends.


Back at base there was a lot of work to be done...


grinding flour in a quern .... and then making the bread...


...learning to walk on a slack rope in the beautiful woods...
...making bows and arrows...

...weaving, making friendship bracelets, making hand moulds in plaster of Paris and so on and so forth.
Then a Merry Moot before bed.

 The next morning there was time for more things to do outside before home...








at the end of a glorious couple of days.


Thanks to all who made it possible - and to the Blue Skies.
