I've just got home from our choir's season's end -concert, and saw what has happened. Nice idea this one!

Go with Brand's idea, or take Sythric's. I can't write anything right now, as I need some sleep, but I could write something in 14-16 hours from now.

Getting on horseback and then steering the horse over it, would be too much for him - as Leod has already said. But Sythric could suggest two of them helping him over. He could walk - or at least he could be "walked" over the "pond" if it's not too deep. That could possibly be the easiest and fastest way over it. Someone could then just ride over the water with the empty sledge tied to the horse, and Sythric could be re-settled to the sledge on the other side? And Leod would probably settle for those two miles before actually starting to stich Sythric - as the evening is drawing closer. Sythric at least would encourage him to wait for the camp - assuring him, that he would make a few miles.

So. I'll see tomorrow (my RL time), what's going on. If you prefer Sythric's idea, go on with the story that way (and please use Sythric as you see fit - somewhat following the lines I have described up above). I can post Sythric making the idea to this thread, from where Arry or Pio could move it f.ex. after Arry's last one. If you follow Brand's idea, go on with it. I'll post something tomorrow then... according to the situation.
