Egypt, not 100% sure where as I thought the older smaller pyramids were further south than the big 3

The Pyramids of Giza.

I hope that camel doesn't sneeze Jim'll be blown to his next destination before we finish this one.

Relax. No onerous reading to do today, apart from the words Lambert and Butler's Cigarettes, Pyramids of Giza..."Empire Air Routes" 1930 series issued in 1936 number 14 of 50; just a nice period image to view.

Giza is what I have on the answer card so another 50 points to James! Quite a zig-zag route our man is taking!

VAR! VAR! That photo was misleading, no way those smaller pyramids are that close to Giza! Fourth Official sort it out....

No one said the pictures were necessarily authentic!

Moaning to the officials not allowed this season!

Well Ryan you are two behind James with 3 to play so not a dead duck yet!! Interestingly I think the hardest one is still to come!! Stay tuned!!

No doubt you are all chomping at the bit wondering where Jim is today, rest at ease, here you are Number 5:

A return visit for me! I stood in the exact spot 30 years ago and likely rode on that exact camel

It was the only time I ever rode on the back of a camel and I cannot recommend it. They're miserable creatures and truly have the hump in more ways than one - or two...

That said, seeing the pyramids close-up was magical and unforgettable... Bucket-list stuff...

Egypt generally, Cairo especially, was interesting and memorable for many reasons and unfortunately none of them very good, except the pyramids and museum. I think possibly the worst trip of my career... And to top it all off, Robyn took her first steps whilst I was away and I missed it. I flew into Cairo from Khartoum and Sudan was a great experience. Sadly, I doubt a visit to Khartoum would be very good these days

Newcastle at the ready, what's this from? And why does it have foam inside?

[Gibbo2286]

Maybe this room I used would suit Jim. So where is it?

Tesla Model X can have that spec of tyre size, and I guess the foam is for noise reduction or puncture resistance.

Noise reduction would make sense as there is no engine to hide the road noise

[Gibbo2286]

They look like run-flat tyres.
