Does it count as a sighting if the big man himself is reporting it?

There is definitely one other person aboard, which was also true when he went to Norway (he’s in Norway) five years ago. Probably the missus. Last time (or five years ago; he’s probably gone since) it was the guy from his home marina. I can’t fathom sailing a boat that size on that far of a trip all by yourself, though I’m sure there are people mad enough to try it. But also, someone would have to hold the phone to photograph him, sooooo.

I wonder if he’s just going because he likes Norway, or if there’s another concert, which is what it was five years ago. (Robert Plant! Who, I heard, actually invited him. Big Game of Thrones fan? Possibly.) Maybe we’ll hear at some point and maybe we won’t. Keeps it close to the vest, does oor Rory.

(Mwah.)

P.S. I actually saw his post ON THE SAME DAY. Not three weeks later. World fuckin’ record!

[edit] Oh for fuck’s sake. I SAW his words “Throwback Thorsday” and my mind skated RIGHT over them. Know what this is? It’s THE trip to Norway from FIVE YEARS AGO.

Because I KNEW I had seen that sweater (jumper) before. He was wearing it then! I saw pics of him in it.

Okay I’m gonna go feel dumb now. Don’t mind me. I thought it was weird he was giving coordinates…
