A lovely weekend at Penrith for the Eagle Bowmen Clout.

A 2-way Imperial on Saturday and Metric on Sunday. The wind was blowing a hooley on both days (even worse on Sunday) but at least the rain held off.

We had a great time, even better because all the longbows were together on one target instead of spread out all along the line. So many laughs!

Katrina Horton and Chris Eccles came away with shinies and a large doorstop!

Yorkshire Spring Clout

/ / Clout, News

Great to be back at clout today at York, meeting up with old friends. A very challenging headwind made it quite difficult, especially for Alison as none of her arrows reached the scoring zone, but Katrina came away with a nice bit of bling as 2nd Lady Longbow.

Thank you to York Archers for putting on the event and the very welcoming, super tasty chill and tacos that was put on for lunch

Day 2

Typical Penrith weather again. The forecast said moderate breeze from over right shoulder – no it wasn’t, it was a light headwind in the morning. Until walking back from about the 4th end Alison realised that the wind had gone round 180 degrees and was now from behind us! The forecast earlier in the week had said we would be baking in 23+ degrees plus full sunshine but fortunately that was wrong too – it was comfortable at about 19 deg and cloudy until the sun came out at the end of the presentations.
No bling today but Alison did manage to skewer the flag again – at least this time it was on a scoring end, not sighters!
The whole weekend was great fun and it was lovely to see old friends again.
