Arran Invades Largs Viking Festival
Posted: Tuesday, 30 August 2005 |
Arran Vikings will be invading Largs to reinact the battle of Largs this Saturday coming. The torch light parade starts about 6pm. We will be rowing our Longship along with many others from as far away as Ireland onto the beach at about 7.30 pm. Followed by the battle, boat burning, fireworks general carousing and a massive party! The festival is running all this week with everything from The Viking Village showing Viking Life to a Tornadoes display team! There are arts, crafts, food, culture and lots to do for everyone. For more info see www.largsvikingfestival.com
We need to knock together some costumes by Friday (nothing like leaving it to the last minute) any ideas please comment asap. X

Hi Sunny Looks like you've got a great weekend coming up. All I know about trying to make a viking costume I learnt from Gary McIntyre, one of the "hot guys" I was at school at. He rolled up to the 6th year fancy dress party as a Viking. Let's just say that his Mother, Aunt and Gran weren't too pleased with him when they saw what he'd done to their sheepskin rugs...

I've got sheepskin rugs!!! But I think they might be a wee bit hot for rowing.....

Hi Sunny, Just wondering how the Viking invasion went! That definitely sounds like the way to spend a Satruday night...
