Prof. Peter G. Beidler (Lehigh University, US) has
offered to lead a pre/post-conference walking tour to
Harbledown ("Bobbe-up-and-down", under the Blean
forest), to pick up the trail that Chaucer's pilgrims
may well have followed to the West Gate and the
Cathedral. They will pass the spring where the Black
Prince is said to have visited often.
