View of the trial from the hill trail up to the castle. You can't see, but they are running the semi finals in the far field (Field One). The rest is trade stands, and there are tons more that are out of view. This was a HUGE event.Approaching the castle - sorry you can't read this sign. Basically the castle dates back to the 12th century, but most of what is still standing today was constructed from the 14th to the 16th century (still older than Canada).
A view showing some of the architectural details. How I wish I was a talented photographer with a decent camera!
The trial field viewed through an arrow slit. I thought this was kind of neat...
Posing on the remains of the kitchen (?) wall.
The view from (almost) the top of the tower.

These two horses and riders could have looked very much in place if they were wearing armour...Unfortunately, the girls were taking photos on their i-phones, which did NOT fit in!
Beginning the hike down.

View of the Keep (?)
I got down just before dark - and my little point and shoot camera actually took a nice silhouette shot of the castle.
