In years past Chas (Charles Oakley) has sometime brought his pole lathe while 
camping with Talymar's group, he's more of a 14th C type - don't know what 
change there was in a pole lathe in the interim. Also, you might want to contact 
the campmistress,  Elena de Vexin (Joann Tibbets) <jesstibb at verizon.net> 
regarding space and layout. "The Enchanted Ground"  (Cariadoc, Thora Sharptooth, 
et al)  is a short distance down the westside of camp road - talk to 
Thora/Carol also, as they already have a lot of good LH in their camp.

Yes, "Talyland" has a lot of open space, but it's uncampable as it turns into 
a watercourse in heavy rain. Great area for firepit, common gathering area. 
As for a pottery firing pit, buy an extra load of firewood and find people who 
are willing to come  babysit the pit fire when others have to go out of camp 
or watch the fire overnight . Security staff types live in camp : we play 
strictly by the Pennsic fire rules.  A beehive oven would be interesting to play 
with (camp cook speaking here) but need to get permission from Dave Cooper, get 
a load of dirt brought in and building it and knocking it down - again ask 
Thora for details. 

Some portion of my family will be camping in a side opening geteld(s), but we 
lack the furnishing niceites of period beds and large chests.  Benches and 
chests for circa 1000 CE - um, we'll see. 

As I wasn't at Danelaw, but the standard household answer for camping with 
Talymar's group  is ask Talymar and put the campname on your Pennsic 
registration. 

Anyone coming out for both weeks of Pennsic ?
