-We meet up most Saturday mornings ​between ten o'​clock and eleven ​in The Magic Cafe pub on Magdalen Rd to have a drink and a chat and get things organised for the day. Then the people with cars ferry everybody up to the Shotover Country Park carpark. We spend a while in the carpark getting ready and indulging in a bit of sparring, then by around one o'​clock we set off into the woods for the LARP proper. Sometimes we stick to the main paths, other times we head off the beaten track a bit so that we don't have to stop everything to let walkers go past too often!\\+We meet up most Saturday mornings in The Magic Cafe pub on Magdalen Rd to have a drink and a chat and get things organised for the day (meeting between 10-11 in Winter and 11-12 in Summer).

 The LARP generally finishes sometime between four o'​clock (it gets dark early in the winter) and seven o'​clock,​ usually around five or six. People with cars then give everyone lifts back down the hill, and we generally proceed to the [[http://​www.therustybicycle.com/​|Rusty Bicycle]] pub to debrief from the day's adventure and socialise (it is conveniently right next to the Magic Cafe and has bike racks for anyone who wants to cycle out to the meeting place). The LARP generally finishes sometime between four o'​clock (it gets dark early in the winter) and seven o'​clock,​ usually around five or six.
