02/08/2011: WILLIAM MARSHAL TRAVEL TOUR QUESTIONNAIRE
Academic Travel Abroad who recently organised a tour concerned with Eleanor of Aquitaine with author Sharon Kay Penman as a guest traveller and 'author on board' are now looking to do the same with William Marshal. To get things going, they have posted a simple questionnaire re preferences here. If anyone is interested, it would be great if you could fill it in. I think it's very exciting. I could visit with William Marshal forever and a day! You'll need to copy and paste the below url into your address heading as this part of my website doesn't have a click through facility.
