[Regia-NA] Secrets of the Vikings

[J K Siddorn]

The "further south" search may be my fault. I mentioned in passing that the furthest north that wild grapes grew/grow
was/is Long Island Sound

So, if the called the place Vinland, perhaps they got at least that far south - and it did cause a bit of a headsup!.

Regards,


Kim Siddorn

 - who wishes you and yours all the very best for the New Year.

Yep, that was our esteemed previous AO.  The slight, cat-who-ate-the-bird grin gave me a great guffaw.
Don't know about the shield fittings...hopefully someone else can answer that.  Concerning the wood grain...a facing
would also have effectively hidden it.  But there were a few other over-generalizations.
That was the first I had heard that someone was still pursuing a further south Norse landing, and had even made a
relatively pin-point location.
The woods shoot was fun, although I think I could have done without the LSD induced blurring camera work.
(Forgot to mention that Aly looked good dead :o) )

Painting the shields to hide the grain makes sense.

spilt at the ends. I was under the assumption this was a Saxon thing and very early.
