Maison del Mas is proud to present:

SURVEYING EXPEDITION MMX

Last year we celebrated the long weekend in January by roasting a sheep, learning how to prepare chickens for the pot, camping, fighting, feasting in the open, enjoying meals cooked over an open fire, shooting with our bows and taking the children on pony rides!

This year we intend to do it all again! Only this time we will be preparing rabbits for the pot, having a range of organised children’s activities, Arts and Sciences collegia and market day. We will also be watching an equestrian display as well as having the opportunity to explore the role that horses can play in the SCA.

A relaxed evening picnic and
games in Cairn Fell as we
reminisce about and celebrate
the memory of Lyos and their
legendary pepper mines.

Cost $3 members, $5 non-
members. Children under 15
free.

Unto the populace of the Southern Parts of Lochac does the Seneschal of
Cairnfell and the Steward of the Cairnfell Surveying Expedition being one
and the same person send greetings and a warm welcome to those gentles that
are soon to travel within our wild lands. What follows is a mix of
information both serious and pleasant in turn and occasionally both. I hope
that after this missive I will have made available all information necessary
for the weekend.
