Way back, when I was first into riding, Stonehenge was one of the first 'substantial' trips I did. It brought home to me the difference between seeing something on tv or in a book and standing there in front of it, looking with your own eyes. That feeling has stuck with me. Of course when I went the place wasn't the semi sacred, feel the vibes, essence of our ancestors, national treasure and gift shop it is now. It was so long ago I think the original builders guarantee had only just expired and you could wander around and chip bits off the blocks to your hearts content. I think the original druid squatters had only just been evicted. I even remember it in black and white.

I love the wealth of experience on this forum, and the humour  I hope I can make similar jokes about the pre-internet world when I'm older.

Rather than warning people about bandwidth have the courtesy to resize your images to a more respectable size, your first image is 4032 x 3024 (7.7 MB) scale it down to 1000 x 750 & it becomes 751 KB it makes no difference to picture quality but saves people (like myself on mobile date) muchos money.

Duly noted, I will do that in the future. Sorry for the costs. I'll buy you a cold one to make up for it

Here is an excellent write up from a couple of guys who circumnavigated Africa.

Thank you so much for compiling these for me. It looks quite different to how things are portrayed in Long Way Down, much more real and personal. It also gives me hope that I don't need an entire office/team to make it happen although if I wouldn't mind if I had the money

Thanks for the heads up. I can deal with that, I just need a factory fitting because my feet are hard to please

Tim, you've been a big inspiration in convincing me I need to get there and sooner rather than later!
Thanks all for the encouragement
