Some landmarks of Portsmouth




Top Gear test track

Nearly impossible to find (probably much easier if you had a working GPS or a detailed map). And once you get there, they won't let you in. It's an airport down a long country lane and you're not allowed in. The best plan might be to hire a small airplane and arrive by air.

Stonehenge 2010 - part 4

Amusingly, due to overshooting A303, we arrived at Stonehenge at 5:54PM. They close at 6:00PM. So we ran, paid, ran, and the staff allowed us a few extra minutes to make a complete circuit and take lots of pictures. But there was no time for meditation - LOL.
