T...Susan, is that an African or European swallow? <br /><br />This is awesome, and yes, I do the same thing. For instance, supply wagons (say for armies) can go anywhere from 10-20 miles a day, depending on the nature of the roads, how many carts and what/who is pulling the cart. This will limit the speed at which your army travels and it really brings home how much effort was required to launch any sort of lengthy attack. If the army was gone for any time at all, they were forced to either buy from or loot the surrounding villages/cities for sustenance.Victoria Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978050059674596756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-65839065787192156092011-11-17T13:16:22.186+07:002011-11-17T13:16:22.186+07:00Isn't it funny all the weird details we have t...Isn't it funny all the weird details we have to research and think through when writing novels?

I don't recall that shot.<br /><br />And this is interesting for me, because I have a lot of hiking in my novel, but luckily I have experience with it, and know that hiking 50 miles in a day took me about 16 hours, and was one of the most exhausting things I've ever done.<br /><br />Probably couldn't do that now.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665052536053897386.post-85576648106463658082011-11-16T20:44:56.758+07:002011-11-16T20:44:56.758+07:00Yes, but how far can an unladen swallow wing it...Yes, but how far can an unladen swallow wing it's way in a headwind across the Atlantic? :)<br /><br />You know I heart you when you put up graphs (and charts!).
