Z320 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 I remember the Gazelle Hotel very well from a visit at Wales years ago. It was the only one we found with a realistic value and price miles around. By coincidence we met a guy of the UK ice bob team there (we did not know there is one) and other very interesting guests Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve-B Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 I've been ill with Covid so I took the opportunity for a nice loop out today with a cousin visiting from Norway. We started where I live in Marlow, went over the suspension bridge then swung out to Henley, then along the Thames into Wargrave, and back via Burchett's Green. Nary a TR in sight for the whole blat, but it was a glorious drive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the Glenelg side there's good coffee, a great pub, a brewery and more coffee plus all the history and scenery you could want. Throw in some steep roads and hairpins, job's cracked. The ferry crew really look after you, they're used to all manner of vehicles from classics to supercars, tour buses and everything in between. Les Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Correct, we use the ferry every year, sometimes onto the isle, and off over the bridge, sometimes the other way round. One glorious year we went to Kyle, bought a picnic in the co-op, over on the ferry and then on the top of the mountain at a veiwing point spent the most wonderful couple of hours, magical stuff.

Bfg Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) Sunday 2nd October - and the weather was gorgeous in its colours and warmth, so I took the opportunity to get out and about while the season lasted. destination ; Castle Acre, in Norfolk, via the Thetford forest - round trip about 125 miles . . . Nor(se-)folk drivers seemed slower than ever, but when the road was clear it was a pleasant drive. The deciduous trees along the roadside just turning autumnal golds and red. ^ 7th Armoured Division - Desert Rats. From El Alamein to Berlin, via North Africa - Italy - Thetford Forest - France - Belgium - Holland ..stationed in Thetford Forest between January and May 1944, while they prepared for the invasion of Normandy. This was the only time the division was in the United Kingdom in it's entire existence. The division sailed from Felixstowe on the 5th June 1944, with the first tanks landing on Gold Beach on the evening of 6th June 1944. May your glory ever shine. " May your laurels never fade. May the memory of this glorious pilgrimage of war you have made from Alamein, via the Baltic, to Berlin never die. It is a March unsurpassed through all the story of war. May the fathers long tell the children about this tale" Winston Churchill. ^ In this weather it was a pleasant trail through the trees to where the 'Desert Rat's training camp was. Our next stop took us a little back in time . . . ^ Castle Acre's Castle - built soon after the Norman Conquest (following the Battle of Hastings). Although unimpressive in the photo, the site itself is ..because the scale and sharp definition of the earthworks of this round Motte & Bailey castle as well as it's outer bailey defensive embankments are so very intact. ^ even a composite of four of my photographs doesn't give an impression of three-dimensional scale of these earthworks But as a reference Katie is the red dot parked next to the large house / museum to the far right of the photo. It was also nice to walk the battlements and remaining curtain walls without health n' safety barriers everywhere. - - - I then went around to the other side of this small and historic village, to the fantastical Castle Acre Priory ... ^ This site is again extensive with the church nave, seeming to me, of cathedral proportions. The audio tour was invaluable to explain what each chamber was used for and how.. from the church itself and the cloisters, to the dormitory (for up to 32 monks aside, from the prior), and the chapter house, refectory, infirmary, kitchen block, and two story latrine building, over its own stream ..to flush its contents away. Being of French Cluniac (an order started in Burgundy) monastry (probably England's first) the architecture of each building is impressive at every turn with its masonry detailing superb. Far too much for me to convey here, and of course much of it destroyed on the orders of Henry VIII / Thomas Cromwell in the latter 1530's . . . ^ Still, aside from the ground plan and some walls, masonry details have survived the past 900 years (..and subsequent changes like glazed windows) pretty well. All in all a fascinating and most enjoyable day-trip into the past. It's amazing where a TR can take you ! Our run back was via Downham Market for a cuppa tea with my friend Mathew, from the TSSC, and then I headed back to my local pub for Sunday roast dinner. Katie of course ran impeccably although by 9:30pm, when I got home it was a bit chilly driving around with the roof open. Still I'm very much happier driving her, than a boring modern car.
