The hangar building continues apace in between sloping off to go flying. (Well we had to test the work we did for the permit renewal didn't we...)

So you're building a hangar from scratch? I've been trying to work that out form FB. Is it for Rhubarb, and just the two of you are doing it? That's a huge job, and I'd've thought the rampant UK H&S would've interfered. Anyway, I'm wildly impressed.

Yep, little single hangar. There's three of us at it only one of whom has any clue. Me and Nick dig and bang nails in where we're told to and pass the tools ;)

There's lots of help and self taught know how on the field though. Learning loads and there's something great about looking at at but of work and knowing you made that.

Big job for three but we just nibble away at it each each week!

Very cool.

Are you still doing the hitty-fighty? I went to Roman archery a couple of weeks ago; I wouldn't mind taking it up.

Yes from time to time. Not as often because I'm rather absorbed with the aircraft lately (It's hard to fit a nine foot spear in a microlight!)

Did a sess at the national Eisteddfod last summer, that was fun (learned lots of new vocab! Teaching people how to make chainmail, via the medium of Welsh was a new one on me!).

Loads and loads happening at the local castle we've helped with for years. Massive lottery grant to do conservation work on the structure and interpretative activities around the site.

I saw the archery pics. Looks like fun! A friend of mine went on a course recently learning to make his own bow.
