Current GOAL: Norman wants to visit the sites of ancient battlefields. Photographic evidence of his heroics would be most appreciated...

Update (Nov 2005): Norman suffered defeat at the hands of Muggles in Daresbury Firs - but lives on as Norman II!

(Many thanks to John Stead for assistance with Norman's resurrection)

About this item:
Norman is a bit of a belligerent fellow, and can't wait to wield his sword again while re-enacting famous battles...

We thought Norman was enjoying himself too long at Cuckoo Bottom, so it's time for him to get back in fighting mode. Well move him on shortly.

Went especially to Lewes today with Norman the Knight. Walked over the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Lewes (accordingly to my explorer map) and placed him in Cuckoo Bottom Cache, about half a mile away, which is one of the nearest caches to the battlefield. Hope this can now be ticked off his list!
