      Julian,

      Ancient Olympia in Greece. I felt a sense of awe and visualised in my mind that I was an ancient Olympian with thousands of spectators cheering me on…! I am a dreamer sometimes…!

      Berlin, just after the wall came down. You could see the enormous difference between the old East and West. In the old east you could see bullet holes from the war in all the old buildings. There were communist statues everywhere too. It was fascinating and moving, as I saw places that I’d only ever seen on old footage from WWII, places where people had been beaten and books burned. Some of the memorials to the victims of the nazis are very moving. I’ve also visited the old WWI battlefields in Belgium and Northern France. There are places where you can go into the preserved trenches and experience a tiny fraction of what it must have been like. The cemeteries are again the most moving memorials to the victims of that appalling slaughter.

      Well, when I lived in the USA I visited a number of absolutely stunning national parks, with the most amazing views you have ever seen. Yosemite National Park in California topped the lot- if you ever get the oppurtunity to go, definitely go- it will knock your socks off. Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park in Utah are amazing as well, as is Joshua Tree near LA.

      Las Vegas is pretty amazing as well…..

      I think Bosworth Battlefield where the last King of england to lead an army into battle, died (richard3rd)
      I was at the area ( a ditch) where his body was supposed to have been found after hed led a charge into the enemy and was then betrayed by so-called allies
      suddenly i was aware that the noise from the mainroad nearby had faded, as had all birdsong and the place was still and quiet..
      THis lasted for some minutes until all the noise gradually built back up to normal..
      very strange and interesting
