50 years ago today, five of us jumped into our cheap little van and set out across Europe heading for Turkey (two of us carried on to India). This was the first time I had left the UK. I was a 22-year-old chemistry graduate of the University of East Anglia, Noriwch. I had about seventy pounds, twenty pounds above the legal limit, some in travellers cheques and some in cash. We soon arrived in Brussels where we parked up on a street for the night and slept in the van. It was very cold.
