Somehow, we had already got further than planned.

We lost a few hours yesterday through the combination of a late start, stopping for diesel, topping up our water tank, and the engine trouble.

We woke up to a magnificant view of Windor Castle from our boat.

We picked up a canal boat at Weybridge.

Glymur Falls hiding in the canyon.

During our stay in Iceland, in a rural area 20 minutes north of Selfoss, we were fortunate enough to see the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) two nights in a row.

Strokkur The main attraction at Geysir is Strokkur, a geyser that supposedly erupts about every 10 minutes.

Ruins The remains of past industry are scattered throughout the valley.

Despite the title of this trip, there is no single route called the Lathkill Dale Valley Loop.

Perhaps best known for the discovery of the first pulsar, by Jocelyn Bell Burnell, the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory (MRAO) is located on the outskirts of Cambridge, located on the site of a former WWI mustard gas factory.

Parked on the little gravel car park near The Bridge at Clayhithe (the name of a pub, but it is by a bridge).

While living in Seattle, it was fun when we came across British things that reminded us of home.
