In 1963, I Hitchhike Route 66, From Chicago To Santa Monica California, And Then Into Mexico, I Was 17. Images@kennethcanada.com
I jumped out of the car to take this photo in poring rain and high winds - water droplets got to the lens - but I had to have a photo of a Routemaster!
Converted to monochrome.
A foggy day in Loughton. I really liked the old style direction fingerpost.
Apologies for not being so active here. Health reasons I'm sorry to say and at this point I fear it might be for most of 2023 before all matters are resolved.
A very poor colour slide, which I've converted to monochrome and then given a sketch feel treatment.
Taken towards the end of 1972, the AEC Swift on Route 418 (which I think was run from Leatherhead Garage) really is a period scene from my childhood with cars like the Ford Anglia & Mk1 Cortina featured here as daily family transport.

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route Sixty-Six...
We used Google Maps extensively on our recent western state's road trip. The application gives you the main route and also offers a couple of alternative routes. Believe it or not, this dirt road was one of the alternative routes offered. I'm glad we took it.
Wyoming
The shortest crossing to the Isle of Skye is from here, said to be the route Bonnie Prince Charlie took to escape from the English.
Last week was such a long, tough week. I'm so glad it's over and am moving on...down Route 66 ;)

Taken at Mother Road
Seen here on a part of Sewardstone Road it doesn't normally use. Due to resurfacing of a road it does use, it was diverted to the bottom of Kings Head Hill and right into Sewardstone Road coming from Chingford Station.
Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost.” “This is exactly the sort of thing that makes traveling wonderful for me, the reason I defied everyone.
This awesome Old Gas Station is a stunning work by B-Made. B-Made is the place to be if you love Decoring and Building Sims.
Despite the rural look it's two short stops away from a railway & bus station and a road full of shops.
Route 66 runs right by the Petrified Forest National Park. We only had a short amount of time available to go by some Route 66 spots. We have plans to spend more time on Route 66 the next time that we are in the area.
I was quite surprised to find that Sundays and Bank Holidays that the service was run by a large minibus. Even so - seen here in Loughton - it seems to be moving fresh air about. If services aren't used, they generally don't last.
Converted to monochrome. Taken through shelter glass.
A recent closure of Chingford Lane meant quite a diversion for Route 275, seen here at the bottom of Friday Hill, from there turning right into Whitehall Road, right onto the A104 and line of route at The Castle.
Route 66 nostalgia
A beautiful 57 Chevy along side route 66 (2 of 3)
Route 66 November 11, 1926-June 27, 1985
As seen on the stand at Chigwell Row, Essex.
I see the marketing aspect of painting the route up on the bus, but it really loses its flexibility, as it's bound to be used on other routes due to bus shortage for whatever reason.
Route 55 (a.k.a. Sognefjellsvegen in Norway) across the Sognefjell mountain area is the highest mountain pass in Northern Europe, with spectacular and wild mountain scenery.
It is the main gateway to the Jotunheimen National Park - Norway’s highest mountains.
Note the month this photo was taken in - does it look like July?
Bus services were disrupted in the recent snow. Here we see a Route 179 in Station Road, Chingford, that would normally have gone to Ilford. To be going only as far as South Woodford is quite a curtailment. Luckily, an Ilford bus was only a few minutes behind this one.
old church on our route....
Abtshagen, Germany
Abtshagen, is small village in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern province in north-east Germany located halfway between Grimmen and Stralsund. Cut in half by road number 194 leading to the north, village is hiding within its precinct a small gem, namely, Gothic Parochial Church dedicated to Holy Spirit (Heilgeistkirche = Holy Spirit's Church). Surrounded by small cemetery, and well visible from the road that is just passing by, red-brick church was completed in 1380. Massive, brick tower, that was planned to built; which is indicated by remnants of the wall; has never been finished. Instead of it, wooden bell tower was added to the structure of the church in 1667. However, original tower has not survived as it's been destroyed by arson in 1999 and then, rebuilt in year 2000. Church's simple, neo-gothic, interior is well preserved
