This tour is not just a run of the mill old Standard test site, this is a
beatiful of the small villages on the seldom used back roads of the U/K,
the "abbeys", old churches, airfields, high up the hills for superb viewing,
so much too see and so few have ever had the pleasure, what a trip, yes if
any listers have the oportunity to take this tour, do it and you'll never
regret it, not many roundabouts either. "FT"
