About

On Sunday, 10th May 4 brave members of Wolfguard are walking the length of the island in historical clothing based on the Norse/Danes from 9th to 11th centuries.

Rekkr, Nix, Bjorn and Harldr will be wearing:

• Heavy linnen/wool Kyrtles
• Linnen under Kyrtles 
• Linnen/wool Thorsberg or Rus trousars
• Wollen winingas aka leg/calf wraps
• + some modern shoes as they are vikings not mad men ! 

The Isle of Wight was a frequent target for Viking raids and served as a crucial winter base for fleets of longships. The 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' records the Vikings using the Island as a staging point to raid Hampshire and Sussex, though surprisingly few, if any, Viking artifacts have been discovered here.
