Yep, I'll bring a ton of gorgets. Probably even a few to sell as well.

I think I can manage that, but it may be hardened leather on the shins. What size are you (S, M, L, XL).

As for fitness, you're going to have to suffer like the rest of us Very Happy

Nic Harrison has okay'd this for Saturday evening. If all interested parties want to gather with whatever harness they do have, I'm sure we can sort out the bits and pieces that are missing from amongst ourselves. We may have to ditch face thrusts as I only have a single helm that's up to that level of contact.

As long as it doen't cramp the drinking time I'm in.

Should be a tiring 15seconds at my current fitness level so me and Grayson are probably a good match.

Grayson said the legs are sorted so all he needs is some arms again in as large as you get Wink

I can probably provide some large arm harness.

If someone could please pass on to Grayson that he'll need arming points (laces) attached to his gambeson about 2 inches above the point of his elbow for the arm harness to work, that would be appreciated.

I can fit them using an awl in about 5 minutes, or he can do a tidy job himself Very Happy
