On Tour
Due to "popular" demand I have included this list format of The Tours.

When complete this will facilitate the calculation of numerous trivial and misleading statistics. Just to whet the rampant appetite, I have provided a few starters for ten - correct @ 01/10/24 - my attendance in brackets.

Years on Tour 37 (30)
Tours 36 (28)
Tours (under-strength) 2 (0)
Prologues 16 (15)
Total Tours 54 (43)
Melton Mowbray Pies 00 (00)

I am always working to some degree on the text, maps and photo galleries for the tours I have attended, what is available is linked to the list below.
