"This 'chasing' idea is basically the same thing as the 'parade' that John kept going on about."
That's not how I see it. The parade/paradista comments were directed at those who based their search for the site on a model where a single host moved around the South East and their movement, direction and speed was predictable enough to geographically anchor a search area for the battlefield (Appleby and Marix-Evans). I am still of the view that the Iceni + forces moved in far smaller bands, in less predicable routes at less predictable speeds. My reading of Ian's comments is that they pertain to the mentality of both sides, not an issue which I take any view on.
"kept going on about" the cheek of the man !!!!
