23rd May Left for airport
at about 10am and arrived at Quantas 1st class lounge
around 12. Glass of wine then Maritta went off for a facial
whilst I logged onto the wifi, checked emails and started
editing the NSW Alvis photo’s for the website. Had
barramundi and another glass of wine for lunch
Flight left at 3:30. First class very impressive, red
wine and almonds whilst waiting for take off, then dinner
with Maritta (two fit in cubicle for meels), soup, snapper
and raspberry icecream.
Arrived Singapore about midnight I think (our time) and
spent a couple of hours in the terminal before re-boarding.
More red wine and almonds. Didn’t have supper, a
couple more glasses of wine then off to sleep (bed folds
out etc.). Didn’t sleep very well, woke with huge
headache (crew gave me some panadol) and only had toast
and tea for breakfast, couldn’t face eggs.

Somethings going on and I'm not happy
about it |

Better

Tuesday
24th May
Arrived London about 5am (GMT),
collected bags and got on Heathrow connect to Paddington,
way to early to go to room, sat in Kensington Gardens
and froze whilst Maritta went and found reception (on
the other side of Paddington). She came back and we had
to lug bags there to be looked after as room not available
till 2pm. Note, gets light about 5am and sun isn’t
setting till around 9pm. Hopped on the “Original
Tour” all day bus for a tour of London visiting
most of the sites (ran out of time for the Museum route).

Took a bus tour today to Windsor Castle, Stone Henge
and Bath, a bit rushed but worthwhile, Windsor Castle
especially good, needed more time, Bath OK but very stark,
wouldn’t want to live there.
Stonehenge was incredibly busy, great to say you had
been there but don't need to visit a second time.
Amazed at how humid it is in London even when its chilly,
been waking up at 5:30 most of the time,.

28/5.
Industrial action meant Heathrow connect
wasn’t working, had to take local train to Hayes
and Hungerford then a bus to Heathrow, got there eventually,
stairs at train station interesting with all the luggage.
Collected car (1) and found our way to Caterham, David
and Sally Woodburns for lunch and to collect Alan and
Noeline, Andrew and Francis also there as was Ian and
Jo Todd. Made our way down to Lymington (Hampshire) eventually,
M25 was indicating a 25 minute delay at the exit we wanted
so we gat off early and travelled through some vey nice
villages, superb navigation by Maritta thank to Alan and
Noelines map book. Held up for 10-15 minutes in the New
Forest by traffic lights in Lyndhurst
Note: Car 1: Vauxhall Meriva, 1.4L Turbo
Petrol. Nice to drive, plenty of performance, bit thirsty,
Chester had a turbo Diesel which was a dog apparently.

Picked up Alan and Noeline and went to Beaulieu Motor
Museum (short diversion through Lymington main street
and the Ferry to Isle of White before going to Beaulieu).
Had and excellent day exploring the Motor Museum, the
Abbey and also Lord Montague’s Palace. Returned
to the Pub near the Olde Barn (where Alan and Noeline
are staying( for dinner. |

30/5
Quiet start to the day, “helped”
Alan change the manifold gasket on the 12/50 after dropping
Maritta and Noeline in Lymington so they could explore
the shops. Alan finished his car and I went with him to
fill up with fuel (about 3 miles), pretty cold, any further
and I would have needed my coat.
Caught up with Maritta and Noeline for a
light lunch, started to rain and we lost the car, found
it eventually (actually the girls found it first and they
didn’t “know” where it was {obviously
neither did Alan and I}).
Went off to visit Bucklers Hard for the
afternoon, a very old ship building area where they built
Nelson’s Agamemnon amongst others, now a historic
Museum and display. Also viewed Hurst Castle where King
Charles 1st was imprisoned (on an island so you need to
go by Ferry, but we were to late.).
Finished the day by having dinner with Chris
Marchant (Vintage Tyre Supplies), his wife Sandra, and
children Holly and Tom (coachbuilder with Rod Jolley).

Tuesday 31/5
Visited Vintage Tyre supplies in Lymington before setting
off for Dunchideok, South West of Exeter for the start
of the Nick Walker tour.
Followed a somewhat circuitous route from Beaulieu to
Hurn (near Bournemouth) to visit the aircraft display
there (which was in the adventure playground, you could
climb up and sit in quite a few of the plains.
Left Hurn and followed the A30 for a while till we got
past Dorchester. A few miles after this we stopped at
a pub for an excellent lunch. We then left the A30 and
travelled along the coast through Lynn Regis (very narrow
one way streets with blind bends and very steep getting
out). We got slightly lost in Exeter but a nice gentlemen
(an astronomer as it turns out) came along and convinced
us if we kept following the road we were on we would get
to the right place, which we did, surpisingly.
By pure fluke we managed to see a sign to Dunchideok
that I think "The Scarlet Pimpernell" must have
seen and then went down ever shrinking lanes till we eventually
got to the Lord Haldon Hotel (Best Western) which has
magnificent views across the valley. I pointed out the
road we had used to another attendee the next day (which
was not the route we where supposed to use) and he responded
saying, "You Aussies are brave". I think he
might have been having second thoughts about lending me
his Alvis for the next few weeks.

Start of the Nick Walker Memorial Tour (tour dinner previous
evening). Off to Dartmoor today. Travelled in the TE with
Ian and Jean Galloway, got hopelessly lost and went in
a circle back to the hotel, decided to use the map the
next time and found our way to Bovey Tracey. Stopped for
a break here and unfortunately the 4.3 travelling with
us had its brakes lock on (was a very steep sideways slope
on the car park and with the handbrake on, the brake cables
managed to hook around a mounting bolt).
Had lunch in the car park (lovely view of the village)
and then went on to meet the tour at Castle Drago (youngest
castle in the UK, built in around 1911), then went across
the moors for a look on the way back to Lord Haldon Hotel.

Went with Alan and Noelene today in the 12/50 down to
the seaside and Sidmouth, went passed Brunel’s Atmospheric
Railway pumping station (didn’t stop its empty).
We went through a ford in the middle of the seaside town
where Maritta nearly scored a cup of tea when a resident
came out and syood on their doorstep.
Then on to lunch at Kings Arm Hotel and returned to Haldon
House for a pint and then dinner.
The evenings entertainment was an excellent talk on the
history of the house and Belvedere tower (a short walk
{promenade if you like}up the hill).

Traveled from Dunchideok to Cobham today in convoy with
Alan and Noeline (we still had the modern).
Got lost trying to get away from Exeter but eventually
managed to get on the correct route. Stopped for lunch
in the very pleasant back grden of a little village Pub
called the Black Dog. Arrived at Cobham Hilton at around
3pm.
Settled in then went by Classic Double Decker bus to
Brooklands for BBQ dinner and a tour of the Museum, excellent
night.

First drive of TE 21 today around Surrey, went to an
amazing private car collection, several prewar MG’s,
2 Lagondas, Twin Cam Sunbeam, Ferrari’s, Lambo etc.
Then off to lunch at the Millhouse hotel, I spent lunchtime
photographing the cars parked on the lawn (about 100),
then returned to the Hilton.
Maritta went with Alan and Noeline in the back of the
12/50 and also visited the historic tower, I missed that.
TE21 drives very nicely.
Gala Dinner, sat with Ian and Jane, Trevor and Alison
Hirst (local restorer/ body maker), Ralph and Rob from
Holland and Dave and Dobson from Wales. Excellent night |

International Alvis Day at Brooklands, took TE down
with Maritta and Jane, Ian brought the modern.
Incredible collection of Alvis,appaently 500 attendees,
started photographing them but it all got to much. The
largest gathering of Alvis cars in the 20th century to
date.
Did the driving tests, drove up the Test Hill and around
some of the background, didn’t do brilliantly at
the driving test but didn’t do to badly according
to the officials, especially as it was my first time in
a strange car.
Ian handed over the keys for the next 10 days of the
tour.

Left Cobham, 130 Miles of motoring today in a sweep around
London to Newmarket.
On the way we stopped at the Shuutleworth Collection,
a very impressiver asir museum with some of the oldest
planes in existance.
There is also a pleasing mix of cars, carriages and motorcycles.
After visiting the Shuttleworth collection, we completed
the outer arc around London to spend the night at the

Visited Fen drainage Museum in Prickewillow. Although
not used in anger now, the pumps and engines are still
operational and can be used in an emergency. The enormous
45inch Allen Conquerer pump, connected by a shaft to the
Mirrlees diesel engine, runs at about 226RPM and can lift
150 tons of water 18 feet in a minuteconnected to a 45inch
Allen pump. It was installed inh 1924 and retired in 1986
when loss of vacuum in the flumes leading to the pump
caused a loss of pumping action.
Then on to the Cathedral at Eli where we could climb
up into the tower and on the roof for an amzing view.

Drive to Derwent Hotel in north west,
delightful drive across the Yorkshire moors, visited
derelict abbey and the terrace above which looked down
on the Ruievaulx Abbey ruins. Property has been in same
family since 1700’s and they once owned 37,000
aces of English countryside.
Overnight lodging was at Derwent Manor
Hotel where we had what was apparently the Bridal suite
in the tower. It was literally big enough to hold a
party so we will host Pre-dinner drinks tomorrow night.
We paid for it a few nights later when
our booking was missed and we spent the first night
in the gardeners cottage.

Visit to the Beamish Museum today so only a short drive.
The town has been built with buildings from the surrounding
area, pulled down and painstakingly rebuilt in the Museum
You could easily spend a number of days exploring the
300 acre site, which includes an underground coal mine,
but historic buses and a tramway help you to get around.
At dinner that night the Aussies, with some local help
and choreography by Noeline and Alan, put on a pantomine
which was hilarious and well received by both the actors
and the audience.

Travelled from Consett to North Queensferry, Edinburgh,
just over the Firth of Forth bridge, excellent views of
the bridge although the weather turned nasty.
On the way we stopped at Chesters Roman Fort, known to
the Roman's as Ciluman, it was built to guard the Roman
bridge which carried Hadrian's Wall and the military road
across the River North Tyne.
We then went via Carter's Bar into Scotland and on to
North Queensferry. |

Travelled from Queensferry (Edinburgh) to Loch Melfort
(The Inn on the Lake) where we stay for three days, excellent
days driving on the Scottish roads although they managed
to lose our room booking, stayed the night in the Gardener's
Cottage, small but quaint, will move into main house tomorrow.
David Stagg driving Richards Graber had a moment when
we dialed passed a fuel stop and Alan decided to get fuel,
David laid some rubber on the road stopping. The roads
around the lochs where delightful, had trouble staying
ahead of Alan in the 12/50. View is spectacular from the
hotel.
Visited Grouse Whiskey distillery in still don’t
like whiskey but the snow grouse one was OK, felt the
black grouse all the way down for about 10 minutes, needed
Tristan to finish the tasting.
In the afternoon we went to an unbelievable train setup,
71/4 inch gauge, several loco's including steam etc, great
fun. I think you had to be into miniture trains to live
in the neighborhood, we discovered several neighboors
where helping on the day when the last train dropped them
off at their houses arounf the track.

Spent morning visiting Oban and then went to Port Appin
for lunch. Returned to look at Atlantic bridge, missed
it the first time and went down a very narrow road which
became gravel, turned around at that point. Found the
right road eventually, bridge is a hump back type built
around 1790, very sharp, could have easily driven over
a modern in the TE without seeing it. |
