Comments

This is a trip Aidan made in his favorite Porter.... unfortunately he did not provide comments except for the captions under the pictures. And he is not around to ask, because he is away to assist in the Foot and Mouth Disease crisis in the UK (this is April 7, 2001), being a soldier in HM's Army and all that.

We hope to see him back soon... not in the least because that hopefully means things go better in the UK for the poor farmers involved... and also because I sure can need the help too ;-)

This is a trip with 4 legs. Take a pause, fly it over several days, or do it all in one go... it's up to you.
