Ny plats för Halsingarnas träningshelg, Trelleborgen i Trelleborg. En delvis rekonstruerad äkta trelleborg mitt i staden Trelleborg (på platsen där den hittades därav placeringen mitt i stan), med möjlighet till kamper i/på borgen, nära till buss och båt och utrymme till hantverk och många deltagare så vi hoppas att fler har möjlighet att komma i framtiden. I år var vi lite sent ute med inbjudningar och information men eftersom det var första gången vi hade vår årliga träningshelg på borgen så var det fint med lite färre deltagare och vi körde detta som ett provår.
New place for our annual training weekend is the Trellefortress in Trelleborg, Sweden. A partly reconstructed fortress in the middel of the town, (exactly on the place where it was found) with possibillities to fight in/on/around the fortress, just like the vikings did it. Close to bus and ferry with lot's of space for fighting, crafting and lot's of participants so we hope for more of this next year. This year we were a bit late with our invitations and information but since this was the first time on this spot it was great to have a smaller test run.

Tuuut! Nytt för i år var att vår nygamle medlem Johan hade med sig historiska instrument som han demonstrerade för oss andra.

Även deltagare från andra grupper hade med sig instrument, väldigt trevligt initiativ.
Also participants from other groups had brought their instruments, a really nice initiative.

På lördagen var det träning på, i och runt trelleborgen, de som inte slogs hade möjlighet att prova på växtfärgning.
On saturday there was training in, on and around the fortress and those who didn't fight had a chanse to test some plantdyeing.

Vi färgade garn, två klänningar, en sjal, ulltyg och skinn (skinnfärgningen var ett experiment som gick ganska bra). Vi färgade med krapprot och valnötsskal.
We dyed yarn, two dresses, a shawl, wool fabric and some leather, the leather dyeing was an experiment that went rather well. We dyed using madder and walnut peelings.

Kvällshäng och pussar runt färggrytan.
Some evening socialising and kisses around one of the dyeing pans.

En runsten kan man ha till så mycket, torka valnötsskalsfärgat tyg på till exempel.
A rune stone can be used in so many ways, drying fabric dyed with walnut peels on for example.

På söndagen hade vi prova-på-tovning för de som var intresserade.
Nästa år satsar vi på att testa att tova med autentisk utrustning.
During sunday we tried felting. Next year we will use authentic equipment only.

Lite avslutande kamp utanför långhuset hanns med innan hemfärden på söndagseftermiddag.
We had time for some finishing fighting outside the long house before going home on sunday afternoon.
