Our plucky band of intrepid travelers prepare to launch headlong into the whirlpool of adventure. (In order from left to right, Karen, Jools, Seona and Thatch) 
Cleared the Airport and Sundance (Clever old bear) leads the way through peak M25 Monday morning traffic into Sussex (Pooh Bear Country). 
This is us outside Pooh Corner. This used to be the shop where Christopher Robin bought his sweets. It now sells Poohphenalia to the likes of us.  Lunch at the Half Moon Free House. It is the inn on the map of Pooh Country. 
This little brown pond is where the North Pole is located. The plucky band of Intrepid Travelers faced adversity and overcame hardship in their successful Expotition to follow in the footsteps of that Gallant Explorer "Winnie The Pooh". 
Our famished feisty four pause for a well earned refreshment above the Spinney where the Woozle wasn't. Taking great pains not to fall into Hefalump traps along the way.  Jools and Sundance Bear take Thatch and Gaffa Bear on, in the Tag Team Pooh Sticks Contest of the Millennium. 
The Paddocks B&B in the rather oddly named locality of Chuck Hatch, just across the road from the Hundred Acre Wood. "The real forest with giant beech trees, all dark and mysterious." 
Taken at Crawley College IT department. Living on the edge, the crazy people who lent us their equipment and didn't wheel clamp us for parking on campus. Without them you would not have got the first instalment. Not bad value for 3 pound an hour either. 
With a name like Over Wallop, or was that Nether Wallop or maybe Middle Wallop you have to have something going for you. In this case the main drag through town was lined with buildings that looked much as this one does. 
Our ursine traveling companions pause to take in the mystical ambiance of the stone circles at Avebury. Your correspondent risked life and limb, challenging shifty sheep while avoiding their voidings. 
Presenting the innovative Wiltshire County Council Work for the Dole Scheme. Where young people are gainfully employed in the ancient art of creating crop circles for the booming tourist trade. 
Here's one that was prepared earlier. 
Karen and Seona are disappointed that they are not able to climb up on Silbury Hill. 
It's big, it's white, it's a horse. Come Tonto, our work here is done!  The pilot of the cruising Goodyear blimp refused to land. Thus saving us from fighting amongst ourselves as to who would get to go up. Furthermore it meant that this sorry example was the best picture we could manage of this truly powerful animal. Contrary to popular belief I think it depicts a cat.  Strange magnetic fields, temperature fluctuations and spooky mystical things with dousing rods. Basically, we're inside, you're not, nah nah ni nah nah!  See previous caption  Introducing Phil and Keith Extreme Tours. Guaranteed to show you a good time - 365 pubs in 1 fun filled day. 
Smart arses in York could find their heads on a pike on Mickelgate, the alternative punishment is being force marched through a Phil and Keith Extreme Tour. 
No mock Tudor in this town. As you can see the builders of York didn't believe in straight lines. 
This is Warrens Rabbit Warren (oops I mean Guesthouse). Lovely place to stay but the stairs are a bitch. |
