Wargamer's Summer - WIP

 We wargamers see the world in a different way, don't we?

This is what I did this Summer.

Sitting in my castle in the edge of Peak District, England

My Wargaming Summer was full of interesting places and great events and people.

It all actually started already in May with first ever Nordic Grand Tournament for Song in Västeros, Sweden. I did good and finished 5th. 

Summer vacation in the Great Britain

This Summer our vacation included a two week trip to UK, which of course 

is more or less the home of wargaming and a country full of interesting history.

Oxford

Our first stop was Oxford, the famous university city, where my good friend had invited us to attend his wedding!

Oxford is a beautiful city, or actually an open-air museum! City host a great number or Colleges, each with it's own beautiful campuses, buildings and halls. We were fortunate to visit Oxford, while the Colleges were open for potential new students and my 19 and 17 year old kids passed well for this category...

Living the dream

Our next stop was Caverswell castle, where we stayed with friends after the wedding, pretty awesome!

Our bed

Part of Bayeux Tapestry (not original I think), which tells about 

the Battle of Hastings 1066 AD

We were surprised, that one could actually rent this castle!

Then moved to Scotland and landed in historical Stirling

Where a located a local game shop and venue. Unfortunately I was not able to

setup a game there.

Nice shopping from the local Tesco

Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle

We didn't see the Nessie, though

Then we continued to Isle of Skye and back to Stirling again
