Ides of March

Postby Bodhi » Mon Jan 31, 2011 9:27 pm

BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH!

Dagorhir's Season-Opening National Campout is back for a FIFTH year! Get ready to shake off the rust from the colder months and make the trip down into the warmer lands of the South!

The High Spires, along with the always-appreciated assistance from our southern allies Greyglade, Albion, and other southern chapters, is proud to bring you this wonderful event. Every year The Ides of March has been filled with some of the most fun personalities and best fighters Dagorhir has to offer. Come for the fighting, stay for the camaraderie! We were 213 strong last year, and with some extra guests invited out to Ides this year we are estimating a count between 250 and 300!

Fighting will rage from Thursday afternoon well into the night (in the lighted and spacious pull barn). Friday will be a series of shake-off-the-winter-rust scenarios designed to ignite your hibernating warrior spirit. Saturday will be filled with a blend of woods-based and field-based scenarios that are sure to test the mettle of any fighter. Finally, after two days of unbelievable combat, a feast will be held so that the shared victory of all attendees can be shared around a delicious meal. And if that wasn't enough, Saturday night will be filled with laughter and cheers as all attendees take their chances against Lady Luck during the Medieval Casino Night!

But don't take my word for it... get that carpool ready and come see for yourself why Ides of March is becoming THE season-opening rite of passage for Dagorhir fighters across the nation!

Troll Opens - THURSDAY, March 10 * Noon
Event Concludes - SUNDAY, March 13 * early afternoon

Location:
Dragon Hills Retreat (back of site, our spot!)

Does anyone know if the trees have been removed from the gully yet? Otherwise the Gauntlet might get really interesting! For Winter War, we made it a non-combat cooperative puzzle for folks to figure out!

Look like we'll be pulling at least a solid 200 this year, but should be a good deal more than that (last year was 221 and this year I know more Dag/Bel fighters are showing).

Knee's not fully rehabbed, so I can't fight, but I'll be there to lend immoral support. :devil:

And for you Florida guys: remember, it's not 70 degrees here at night, so bring a sleeping bag... ;)

Weather is beautiful. Skies are cleared with warming temperatures into the 60's this weekend. Still a little chilly at night, but that's what sleeping bags are for.

I think the final count was 261? 60 to 70 degrees without a cloud in the sky made for great weather too.

I would call Ides of March V a raving success! If you haven't checked out this event, make sure you take time off for this next year, it's only getting bigger every year.

Great scenario battles, amazing feast, and fun Casino Night. It was so awesome to get together with old friends while meeting new ones.

Biggest and best Ides yet; this event is getting seriously large! It seems the fighters from MI, IN, OH, and PA really like fighting in 70' weather in early March... :)
