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)

Write note 3/24/2007 Flatcoat Walker posted a note for it   Visit Log

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!

Not sure if I can help with a Battle, but as he's been here for quite a while thought I would move him on.

Discovered It 1/27/2007 MooToo discovered it   Visit Log

Although on a raid into Sussex ourselves, MeerRescue and I had to leave Norman where he was, although there was a great deal of cursing coming from the box as we left, so I hope he can be collected soon :-)

Norman is off on his travels, though he might not actually get to another battle ground in one go, I'm sure he can do it in a couple of legs or so.

Delighted to be able to drop off Norman the Knight TB at the '1066 and all that' cache, close to the battlefield at Battle, near Hastings. Particularly glad that he is there for the big event this weekend - the 1066 battle re-enactment! Hopefully some cachers will be taking part or visiting to watch the battle and will find the time to pick him up.
