Currently enjoying the Wonders of Iceland season of programmes on BBC Four (rapidly becoming my favourite channel!).
Which is a good excuse for some pictures of the Hugin longship, which can be found at Pegwell Bay in Kent.
It's actually a replica, built in Denmark and sailed to England in1949, to mark the 1,500th anniversary of the voyage taken by Hengist & Horsa which is considered the starting point of the Anglo-Saxon invasion of England.
When I was a lad, I just knew Hengist & Horsa as cross channel car ferries. Ah the ignorance of youth!
