If you're looking for new equipment or weapons, here are a few links to other useful websites :-

• www.darkbladeuk.co.uk - Good leather products, pretty much anyone who has gone to a major event has probably bought something off Tim.
• www.havingalarp.com - Some nice looking gear on here, but i haven't bought off them myself. I think Steph has though.
• www.battledamage.co.uk - Again nice stuff but never bought anything.
• www.planettrading.co.uk - A new link this one, found by Paul. Some cheap stuff on here, and looks ok stuff.
• www.lrpstore.com - Quick delivery and good stuff although a bit pricey.
• www.nortonarmouries.com - Really lovely stuff this, check out our angry hobbit's Celtic cuirass. It's all light weight and very strong.
• www.gdfb.co.uk - Nice kit, i think some of the older guys may have picked stuff up off here as they gave me the site address.
• www.hightowercrafts.com - I bought my Horned leather helmet off here. It's very good quality but order early as delivery takes ages.
• www.hammerhydra.com - Cheap weapons.
• www.medieval-arms.co.uk - Nice chainmail from here.
• www.monster-boutique.com - Good for props and fur etc..
• www.rubbergorilla.co.uk - Brilliant masks and other latex body parts. My brother bought his werewolf head and chest off here, it's top class.
• www.thecuttingedgeonline.net - Stuff looks good but never bought anything.
• www.velvetglove.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk - Good costumes on here. We've bought all of the groups tabards off these guys and they've always been excellent quality.
• www.characterkit.co.uk - Chris found this site, the stuff looks very nice and the prices are pretty good as well.
• www.tinb.co.uk - Giles found this one, looks like good stuff.
• www.makai-larp.co.uk - New lad 'Drac' found this site the stuff looks nice enough, looks like they supply mainly to the guys who play the Maelstrom system. If anyone does order let me know how good the stuff is. ta!
• www.by-the-sword.com - Matt has had some stuff from here, he's pleased with it. The stuff comes from America so give a few weeks for delivery. If you do order from here you'll need to pay an extra 15-25% for postage and packing. You also need to be aware that you may also have to pay an import duty.
• www.larpinn.co.uk  - Jonno found this one and he's quite happy with the stuff he's bought off there. Steph has also bought off here and was that impressed with speed/communications he started a new thread on the forums to let everyone else know. 
• www.calimacil.com - Stuff looks WOW! Chris found the link, it's a Canadian company so if anyone does order let me know so i can let everyone else know

• www.artyfakes.co.uk/TrustyRange.html - Stuff on here looks reasonably priced and has a rather tasty woman showing off her wares :)

If you know of any site that you'd recommend but isn't on here, e-mail me with the details and i'll add it so that we can all bag a bargain!
