Than God you did it. That leaves only 27 years to write up. Even now there are PhD students beginning excavations near the city walls to find evidence of Sheffield activity in 1976. Some scholars deny there was a presence there others will argue that it was merely a minor outpost whilst others claim it was an effect of marsh gas. A primitive tent has been found with no ground sheet - similar to the ones said to have been used by the Bow-urs. It is not certain that anyone would have been stupid enough to use such a device in a region of high rainfall since in any precipitation the tent would have filled rapidly with water.

Ed. Note. I took a tent without a groundsheet or flysheet because I didn't want to be too burdened down. I thought that it didn't rain in Spain in the summer. There was a torrential downpour that lasted the best part of two days
