Hostel stamps from my 1982 Britain/Ireland tour
The night of August 2 was spent in a polo field after I was discharged from the hospital (hit by a van in Datchet soon after leaving Heathrow). I woke August 3 shivering in the rain, the low point of a 4 week trip. Henley-on-Thames let me stay there on their off day (second tier hostels would close one day a week) out of pity (banged up face with stitches around my right eye, etc).
