You must admit you don't get invited to a Roman Encampment every day. When I heard there was a Roman Encampment last year I couldn't not go. I had just hiked across England following Emperor Hadrian's wall wearing a Roman helmet and had to see it for myself. I was warmly welcomed and it turned out one of the participants was a surgical nurse at the hospital. Always nice to have a nurse where there is swordplay, eh!

Here are a few other shots from last year to tempt you.
