No.6 is an individual, and as No.2 put it, 'they are always trying!' Yes trying out new devices, ways and means. We have seen No.6 testing the Village's new off-road vehicle, and the external air bag, around the world record attempt both by air and sea. He's joined in with the Village raft race, having hand built his own raft, and helped revive old skills by building a Coracle in which he and Nadia put to sea that time during The Chimes of Big Ben. And here No.6 is at it again, having built another raft by lashing two rubber lilos together with rope, seen here in its first sea trials.
When I first saw that Coracle put to sea, it looked so rickety that I didn't think it would make 30 feet let alone 30 miles, but I was wrong. So I might be wrong here, as No.6 prepares to put to sea again in a 'Round the island raft race.' While the race is on-going, No.6 will also be testing the Village's new GPS system, you can just see the aerial sticking up from the device.
For me the whole experiment seems fool hardy. But according to No.6 he'll either excape the Village via the raft, or finally locate the Village once and for all via the new GPS system! Either way No.6 will know where he is escaping from, and where he'll be likely be escaping to! BCNU.
