31d Southampton - Arundel - Jousting 3

The jousting was fantastic with Knights riding at full speed, jousts
smashing and breaking into millions of pieces.
The hunting competition was a relay made up of 5 different skills all
completed consecutively, now this where I get technical:
1 Hook the ring onto the stick as you ride past
2 Grab a Javelin and spear the dummy
3 Grab a bow and arrow and shoot the bullseye
4 Grab a sword and behead the pole of its cabbage head
5 Then finally grab a joust and at full speed hit the spinny thing and get a
point for each rotation
All this done in a continual motion on horseback. phew . I'm tired just
typing all of that.
It was a magnificent spectacle and we felt so lucky that we happened to be
at the right place and the right time.
