Here's a travel blog in the UK Places series, using my new kit - which makes all the difference to the quality and stability. This episode I am in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
The story of Salisbury began 2,500 years ago when an iron age fort was built on Salisbury Hill about 2 miles north of the modern town center. In the 6th century AD the Saxons invaded Wiltshire. In 552 Saxons and Celts fought a battle at Salisbury Hill. The Celts were defeated and fled westwards. The fort probably lay abandoned for centuries.
However by the early 11th century a settlement had grown up on the site of the old fort. In 1003 the Vikings raided Wilton some of the survivors may have fled to the safety of Salisbury Hill and founded a new settlement. The new town had a mint and a market.
About 1069 William the Conqueror built a wooden castle to overlook the settlement and keep the inhabitants in line. In 1075 a bishop moved his seat there. However Sarisberie, as it was called, was a small settlement, much smaller than nearby Wilton. It probably only had a population of a few hundred.
The modern town of Salisbury began about the year 1217 when the Bishop decided to move his seat to land owned by the church south of the hill. Perhaps there was friction between the clergy and the soldiers in the Norman castle. A shortage of water on the hill may have been another reason for the move. He created a new town on the plain. The Bishop laid out streets in a grid pattern and leased plots of land for building houses. So a new settlement grew up at Salisbury but the town at Old Sarum continued for centuries.

This video course will be on our Website and also UDEMY where you can enrol and take the course. This episode is a short snippet test example from one of the lessons dealing with motorway driving. Why is it important? Well, for one it will lower your insurance premium for a start. Most larger insurance companies offer a discount if you are an advanced driver (certified through the IAM), which is a separate exam with the Institute of Advanced Motorists. For another, you'll be safer because of your abilities to read the road, other drivers and all that goes with driving these days. Andy passed his test in 1998 and unless you join the Police or pay the earth, there's little chance for training. His experience has been gained over the years, using the principles daily and on more than one occasion, here and abroad, it has saved him from serious crashes caused by others. Is it relevant for foreign people? Of course! While it is aimed at UK roads, the PRINCIPLES can be applied to any country. In the course is footage from his time abroad in Thailand, where the skills were extremely useful. www.trainingthewrightway.co.uk

EU charges and visitor visas, for UK holidaymakers going abroad, very soon. Don't be fooled, we do the same to them and even worse. It is a result of leaving the EU.

This is a SPECIAL FULL LENGTH VERSION of our visit to the local street market to buy stuff for cooking a family meal. It is there most days from 3-4pm and backs onto the main highway. Although it is a street, it isn't closed so vehicles can drive down it.
Everything you can imagine can be purchased, Thai Style.
