The word 'Viking’ originates from the old Norwegian language, and when translated means ‘man who fights at sea’. A leader who was killed in action with his weapon in his hands was given a much more suitable funeral as the ones in the Viking grave mentioned above or under the Danish campsites . He was laid on a number of battle shields at the ship’s afterdeck, and the vessel was abandoned. Then, the ship was set alight by flaming arrows and the dead Viking leader went to the Walhalla (the Viking heaven) in a burning inferno. This story made quite an impression to the kids at the campsite in Denmark . One of their plastic ‘Action Man’ toys was renamed as a Viking chief killed in action, probably because he had a weapon in his hands. The children built a ship for him with wooden twigs, and the poor Action Man was laid on a few coloured beer mats at the ‘afterdeck’. Now came the hardest part of the job: how do you set this thing on fire? After some efforts with a burning glass, the children finally went for a more modern technique: “dad, can we use your lighter please?” It worked and the unfortunate Viking, was set to sea from the Danish campsite on his burning vessel.Next morning, a shrivelled piece of plastic was washed ashore at the Danish campsite beach – the Action Man appeared to be made of immortal material. On campsites in Denmark real Vikings would never had made mistakes like this.
