Time doesn't really permit a full write up of the event, or at least not yet.
For the time being, here is a collection of pictures from the third (and final) day.
Oh, and after all the fun, we also made a small start on our journey home - with "Chalice" only - "Sickle" is staying on at Atherstone until moving on her next event.
