From what I looked through in a few mins, that looks like a fantastic experience, and like you had a great time.

Yeah, it was myself and Nick_C from here. Seemingly we were on a Fifth Gear too, have no idea which one, and it hasn't been on for a while! Anyone see it?

On the plus side, does Tiff, Vicky and Plato still present it? Wouldn't argue to sharing a TV slot with any of those!!!

Trip was awesome, sorry I havn't sorted out the pics properly yet guys!

For David, Meintag and I'm sure a few others, I've taking 100 different sights (not really the best pictures, but hopefully images that will show the variation that we saw along the trip)

Top pictures mate! Certainly a lot of variation. Was the Peugeot van missing all wheels etc, or had it dropped into a hooge hole!? Interesting stuff mate!

Similar to the roads around me then, get lost in some potholes for days! Lose a wheel or two!
