I think that the first Vikings were Tarkenton and Tinglehoff.

Apparently, early on anyway, there were “no lands to the west.”

Who cares? Asterix and Obelix taught them the meaning of fear!
Fear gave them wings!

If they find a lot of beer bottles and shotgun shells, then it was probably an old family reunion of my family. Usually, there’s more than 40 dead, but they might have been friendlier back then.

Who cares? Asterix and Obelix taught them the meaning of fear! Actually it was the least warlike of the Gaulish villagers, the bard Cacofonix, who managed to do that.

10:38, local or GMT? Lindisfarne is less than 2° West of Greenwich, the solar time difference is about 6½ minutes. Clocks back then weren't that good. GMT close enough.

Intersting find.
Reminds of the Far Side cartoon with a couple of Viking ships high & dry on the beach and a village pludered & burning in the back ground. The warrior Vikings were gathered around their boats and one folorn looking Viking. The caption was, Sven, the one who was in charge of the tide book, has something to say to all of us.
To: Cold Heart
I bet he said they burned their own village.
