That's about 17 miles of travel. Probably split between two days, but it's quite a trek for many of us modern types.

A Viking-Age group in the Czech Republic (or is it now Czechia?) MANNFALL is a new, educational-experimental concept of early medieval events that aims for a more intensive and progressive reenactment. Every event will be held at a different place with a different scenerio. Here are photos from the ...

Cool! I can't tell from the video - mostly 3D game targets on the field course? About what range do people usually shoot at? I was afraid to show the course in detail, because they only trot out the 3D targets for contests ("club shoots") since the 3D targets are not free and fall apart a...

One of the liabilities of TV drama versus the silver screen, is that the money depends on constant cliff-hanger situations, e.g.: "come back after these commercial advertisements to find out what happened to your hero!" Even in an HBO-like environment, the show-runners are tempted to leave...
