Vindolanda

On Saturday morning we set up the camp by the Wall reconstructions . Two displays were given each day plus some children's marching sessions. Visitor numbers at Vindolanda on Saturday were the highest of 2024.

On Friday evening we retired to the Twice Brewed Pub where, by chance, we met members of the Sixth Legion from York. They subsequently made a visit to our camp. On Saturday evening some members stayed at Vindolanda for a BBQ but others went to Hexham for a meal. I took some new members to Housesteads early on Sunday morning.

The weather all weekend was dry but on the wrong side of being warm although we did the displays without cloaks.

"Came to see you today at Vindolanda and really enjoyed your show, very informative, friendly and knowledgeable re-enactors. Really brought the Romans to life in a spectacular location. Thank-you for what you do in keeping the Roman story alive."
