Celt Wars 15
March 30- April 1, 2012
Little Bennett Regional Park
Clarksburg, MD
The tribes are gathering again to strive against each other in armedcombat and celebrate general foolishness. Join the amassed Celts andfriends for melees, a pot luck dinner and Sasparilla Social, and abardic brouhaha or two.
Fees:* It’s $5 per adult, kids under 5 are free, and the parents ofolder kids can offer us as much cash as they feel is appropriate tocover their kids’ stay.* Daytrippers pay the same rate as campers.* Please find Lanea and pay up during daylight.
Dogs:* Dogs are welcome on-leash throughout the park.* If you plan on bringing pooches, please make sure to keep aclose eye on them when they meet other dogs who are new to them orwith whom they’ve had confrontations in the past. Also be preparedfor your dog to come in close contact with horses.* If your dog can’t play nice with children, adults, or otherdogs, leave your dog at the sitter’s. If your dog becomes a dangerto anyone, including itself, we’ll ask you to leave.
Fighting:* Once again Celt Wars will be using a variation on the standardcombat rules. We'll be counting blows instead of acting out wounds.Also, if there is more than one archer per side then targeting forcombat archery will be limited to the face. In all other ways,standard Pennsic fighting rules apply.
Everything else:* If you want to participate in the potluck on Saturday night,bring a dish to share with 6 to 8 others. Feel free to organizeadditional communal meals.* Many of the fire rings at our site have functional grills, andcivilization is close by if you need any supplies.*
Because Little Bennett is a state park, it is a dry site.Skutai and Lanea have no desire to search coolers or sniff mugs,however, and as long as no original containers are visible, and nobottles or cans are left at the site, all is well. Police yourselvesand your campmates, don’t give alcohol to minors, and don’t drivedrunk. Nuff said.* Each person must pack out their own trash.*
We’ll have portos at our site but no water supply. Bring plenty of water.* The main campground has water and shower facilities, but theyare a far piece from our primitive campsite. You’ll probably becharged a few bucks to get into the main park to shower.* Once you set up your campsite, move your cars to the designatedparking area.* If you would like us to set aside a specific area for you and yours to camp in, get me a paid pre-registration and we’ll work it out. Otherwise, everyone can just pick their spots as they show up.If there is enough interest, we can set aside an area specifically for families bringing kids.*
If you have general questions, contact Lanea atcrazylanea@gmail.com, (home) 703-968-9434, or (cell) 703-626-0909.
Directions:* Make your best way to 270 North, north of Rockville.* Take exit 18 Clarksburg Rd/121.* Make a right at the end of the ramp onto Clarksburg Rd./121heading north-east.* At the light at Gateway Center Dr, take a left.* Go to the stop sign, and take a right back on to Clarksburg Road.* Keep in mind that our camp site, the Primitive area, is not inthe main park, do not be swayed by the signs directing you to the maincamping loops. There are harpies there, or something. Quite dangerous.* Go straight through the light at the intersection of 121 and355, and travel approximately two miles.* Cross the little bridge over Little Bennett Creek and make animmediate right into the gated parking area. There should be a banneror spear or head-on-stick to make you feel comfortable in yoursurroundings. Swing the gate open, drive through, and swing it closedbehind you. This keeps the strangers out. Follow the crumbling,formerly-paved road along the stream, past the old Schoolhouse, and upthe hill. Keep following the road until you find us.
