Went over the viaduct last year.....  Cracking view!!

Watched the sky prog on its construction.  From an engineering viewpopint, most interesting.  Built one section then pushed out the next on rollers to meet the pillar then reinforced same and repeat....

Good stuff.....   ;)

It's only morbid if you agree with what happened there...

I think it would be a reminder of how decent people can be totally "reprogrammed" to think and act in an inhumane manner. There was something "about he who fails to learn from history is bound to repeat it", and you look at the world today and think "yes, how many times are we going to make the same mistakes".

14th June, Dover - Calais at 0840, first stop Orleans ( SW of Paris ) then next day southbound and down via Millau Bridge to Pals in Northern Spain, Cypsela resort, best campsite in Europe. 12 days of peace away from selling cars. Rest of family flying in to Girona on 18th, stay with us for a week. Return Zeebrugge to Hull 28th. The old girl ( thats the Omega ) will no doubt do me proud again, averaged 38mpg last time without the roof box on.
