ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: What a lovely day for a hiking vike

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: firecrackling... 

:)

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: this game does look pretty. makes me want to play again

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: I think I uninstalled it, as I kept playing TLOU2

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: I saw the guardian review... did you say you'd played?

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: So many games I need to play... Roadwarden, and Norco

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: I am also finding this soothing after a brutal day at work

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: (hope my chatting is not disturbing your walk... and are you taking photos?)

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: gorgeous evening sun

First Time Chat

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: So, it's 84 miles.... which I reckon about 4 days

lindsayafriend: Hi Kate, loving this!

lindsayafriend: Apparently it takes 28 hrs

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: LOL. google maps walking times are so dangerous 

:)

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: I reckon on doing 2 miles an hour with a pack/rests, and about 20 miles a day

Replying to @orbific23: LOL. google maps walking times are so dangerous :)

lindsayafriend: City Mapper took me through a tennis court lol

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: 28 hours is about 3mph... ouch

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: @lindsayafriend have you watched Geowizard?

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: He tries to cross countries in a straight line... whatever is there

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: oh wow, lovely to see you again @lindsayafriend

Replying to @orbific23: @lindsayafriend have you watched Geowizard?

lindsayafriend: Hadn't heard of him, he sounds fun!

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: Yes, Mark and I have talked about Burroughs and 2000AD a few times at IMT

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: And there was that amazing exhibition I heard, of people dancing to famous songs

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: @kateshieldsart he's a youtuber. He basically picks the best route across a country

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: But there's always something in the way

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: it's more a slope I think

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: You are allowed into the circle during solstice

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: I love how, each time the clocks go back, english heritage post of photo of the stones being shifted to line up properly

lindsayafriend: Love this angle

lindsayafriend: Oh yay!

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: this is so relaxing after a hard day's work....

lindsayafriend: Google says it's mating season for the bears 

:)

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: Something I am obsessed with is stonehenge replicas (aka clonehenges)

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: like carhenge (made of cars)

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: there is also ponyhenge, which is made of rocking horses

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: But i guess people were smaller?

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: So the ponies looked like horses

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: last night, i got overtired, and started researching whether I could buy a swan

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: white swans you can't, but £750 will buy you a pair of pretty nice birds

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: I'm exhausted. We've done quite a tour 

:)

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: Same time next week?

lindsayafriend: Pheasant?

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: What towns are there?

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: Yes - yorvick is york

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: big viking town

ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: yay! Come to yorkshire!

20:14ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: Me! Me! I've been there!

20:156loss: I was in Stroud recently, amazing valleys

20:15ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: I've also been to the Mari Lwyd festival near puzzle wood

20:166loss: is Puzzlewood a new name or an old one?

20:16lindsayafriend: Went there for a school trip (primary) and one of the other school groups guarded the toilets with big sticks the entire time. I'm still not over it

20:176loss: it sounds almost like a 21st century rename... would love to do a trip with the kids though

Replying to @6loss: it sounds almost like a 21st century rename... would love to do a trip with the kids though

20:18ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: Puzzle is from mediaeval french, so too early for this game 

:)

20:19ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: Late, I mean... But yes, I'm a total word nerd. One of my obsessions is reading different translations of beowulf

20:19fimacnee: You have just reminded me of people I used to know in the late Nineties who would sign off a verbal conversation with... "word"

20:196loss: language is a history of migration and culture...

20:20ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: Kate is the 90s

20:20fimacnee: No bye or anything... Do you also say "nifty" LOL

20:22fimacnee: That's good, I have a soft spot for "word". I prefer it to "later" - also the similar era.

20:23ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: the best farewell is "I'm ghost like swayze"

20:236loss: Did Friends kick off the whole O M G thing?

20:24ModeratorPrime Gamingorbific23: it was really big in the 90s

20:246loss: I remember Janice saying it

20:24fimacnee: Oh man, I'm ghost like Swayze is genius and also leaves me with difficult clay-related feelings.

20:246loss: Back when you could blaspheme 

:D

20:25fimacnee: Car?

20:25fimacnee: I'm old

20:25fimacnee: Calm - thanks!

20:256loss: My 12-year-old is watching here, and he's not heard that one yet 

;)

20:26lindsayafriend: How long do the seasons last for in the game?

20:266loss: he says he says "dunno" a lot, haha

20:276loss: lol, he's old enough for light swearing

20:286loss: what was the statue?

20:286loss: cool

20:32fimacnee: I've got to head out, but I really enoyed this as usual! 

:)

20:32fimacnee: Have a good rest of the walk

20:32fimacnee: Ciao! Word

20:356loss: one for the future archeologists...
