Saturday. The drive from Salisbury was characterised by the down-pouring of heavy rain which we seem to have attracted wherever we've been in the last ten days. Bad enough if you're in the car and struggling to see the car ahead of you, but for our valiant runner, Ash, it must have been like running in the bathroom shower. No-one could have blamed him for complaining bitterly and phoning us up to request a rescue.....but that's not Ash. At one point of the journey he tweeted that 'he was at Totton, about to run across a bridge, something he was quite excited about'.....what a guy.

We caught up with Neil at Stonehenge. But there wasn't much opportunity to play contemplative English classical music as Compagnie Carabosse had turned the ancient site into a Fire Garden, full of music, strange and wonderful installations and automata.....and of course, fire. Loads of it.  The effect was breath-taking, but the true beauty was, as it always is, in the giant stones themselves. What a rare treat to be able to wander through them in the middle of the night, with the fire lanterns flickering and the music filling the air.

As far as I'm concerned, there can be few more beautiful cinemas in the UK than the Kino Digital at Hawkhurst. Converted from a fine 19th century village hall, it was Britain's first fully digital cinema; you wouldn't know it was a cinema until you stepped right up to it, so perfectly did the original owners effect the conversion.

The day started at the 'World Famous Comfort Cafe', next door to the The Lost Travelodge at Abington. Here we met up with the capable and taciturn biker dude, Martyn Aves, our 'runner' from Cambridge to Aldeburgh. We met his motorbike and sidecar first in the carpark – a marvellous, gleaming black machine, obviously cherished by its owner, who was also togged up in black and grey from head to foot; talk about 'The Dark Knight Rises' - he was here in a car-park in East Anglia!
