Knights of the Round Table from a Monty Python skit perhaps!

Clue 1: These guys are headed for a town that we visited in Dartmoor National forest yesterday.

It's Robin Hood and his band of merry men. Or Pilgrims on their way to Canterbury Cathedral...

Clue 2: New photo of the same crew posted above. You should be able to tell me the names of each person.

I have been following your daily posts with great excitement....well, at least with interest. Sounds as though you are having a great and intersting historical journey...from eatery to eatery.

So if I'm a geek, what about the fellow who solves a geek's quiz. Anyway, very well done.

Anyone else able to amplify on Philip's solution?

As I now have a tune irrevocably stuck in my head for the day, my only consolation is that Anita is also hearing said song in Vinnie's dulcet hum as he drives down the wrong side of the road...

The phrase Uncle Tom Cobley and all is used in British English as a humorous or whimsical way of saying et al, often to express exasperation at the large number of people in a list. The phrase comes from a Devon folk song "Widecombe Fair", collected by Sabine Baring-Gould. Its chorus ends with a long list of people: "For I want for to go to Widecombe Fair, With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke, Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all." The surname is spelt as "Cobleigh" in some references....

Our dearest departed mother would have been proud, Phillip!
Anita, very cool web site and very cool to enfold your family into your travels.
