Has Mrs Ted been to Bruges yet? I’ll be going for the last weekend in November if she’s back from the Maldives in time.
DM Steve and see if the dates work?https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?h=...
Latest pics are up

Hopefully Ted will be off to V15Ben as I type.
Anyone want Ted in 2024? If so... add your name and where you're going (or if your staying where you live).

Gripped by curiosity, here. But I can't realistically trawl back through all 136 pages of posts dating back to 2006. Did something happen to the original TransportTed?
I've travelled with a bear since my wife sent me this wee fella...
...way back in 1991. He arrived in Iraq in a parcel just prior to the Gulf War, and has accompanied me to various places over the years. He's lasted well for a (whisper, so he can't hear this) cheap, throwaway 'Clinton Cards' gift, too. He's crewed a Chieftain AVRE tank, an armoured personnel carrier, most run-of-the-mill military wheeled vehicles, all the way up to a container lifter. He's visited Germany, France, Netherlands, Cyprus, Canada, and Kenya. Even a brief (refuelling stop) in Bangor, Maine, USA. Four crossings of the Atlantic and more than half a dozen crossings of the Equator. Since we retired from the army we've confined our travels to within the UK. The photo was taken on a restored Ferret scout car at Chalke Valley History Festival. I (or rather, we) served together in 3 Field Squadron RE and that's the squadron badge (broken windmill) on the turret. The medals are my miniatures. My wife insisted that he should wear them because he'd earned a set too. They're a little bit on the big side for him, though, and I had to spend hours hand stitching a little jumper for him out of an old sock (Royal Engineers Corps colours) because I couldn't stomach the thought of driving the mounting pin directly into his furry little chest. I couldn't part with the little guy, not even temporarily, so I'm not offering him up as part of this game, but if Mrs Ted wants sweeping off her feet, I know just the bear for the job

Has Mrs Ted been to Portugal?
Still very early in the planning stage, so unsure of dates, but late July / early August as a rough guide, and I fully admit I have taken her to Ireland before!
Please don't add me to her diary until I have dates set and she wants to travel!

Somehow never spotted this thread before: good to see Ted’s most excellent adventures!
I have not manage to get through all the pictures and places: has Ted been to a music fesTedval?
I imagine so, but we will be in Southwold for Latitude at the back end of July: I’d be delighted to host her for a week or so…the pink sheep always make for a good shot
