Hi Bernard,

I’ve just come back from Easter in Berwick and spent a day at Bamburgh Castle. I understand that the Castle would have been very different 1000 years ago, but looking at the topography I can’t see how an attack could succeed.

The Vikings did actually manage to capture the Castle according to the guide book but no details of how they did it.

How do you create a plan of attack? Do you have models of the castle? Do you have maps or does it just happen in your head?

Bit cheeky but another clue about Sharpe’s dad would come in handy.
