6 days is fine, same ballpark. I think we have these three scenarios and that's about as far as we can really go, it is a debate between the three and we cannot know which option was taken, only have preferences/opinions.
I don't think it matters in finding the battle site too much, other than to make the marching maths less deterministic than some proposers have implied in the past.
Maybe the sailing option gave a better chance to test the intelligence about the spread of the revolt. Reports from naval patrols off Sussex, Essex and Kent would be a good/ safe way to test the geography of the revolt, as might passing the traffic at Dubris. THat actually seems a pretty cautious way to approach the front whilst gathering intell.
I swear I can hear Nathan banging his head on his desk from here.
