What a fantastic event

I was due to be else where but it got cancelled at the last moment due to the weather so Mr slow went to the festival of slow.

Good to run into Deepsix there (will look at your phots shortly on F book )

I have thrown some pics into a slideshow on Youtube with some apt Mongolian music, I could have been mistaken that Digger was taking part (See slides).

Excellent Steve, you always seem to capture the moment so well
I found it a really inspirational event and great to see so many folk basically heading off into the unknown. Many have done such things before but every time will be different and basically anything can and probably will happen. I found it funny outside Goodwood how many people didn't seem to have a clue which way to go from there!!!

Agree totally, to be young and rich again. They have a great adventure ahead of them, if only they can find their way to a port

I was up till 4am this morning by the time I finished that and was also tracking their progress on the adventurist web site. Some were still travelling at 3.30am and were well into Europe, others were still only a few miles down the road from Goodwood and camping.

It still amazes me what goes on at Goodwood circuit, that was truely ecentric Britain at its best

It should be an Olympic event, that reminds me "The Torch" comes through here later today, I call it "The Torch" but in reality it is like this:
