Fantastic picture of Château Gaillard! As for travel during the time of Richard, it was what it was. Not many coaching inns, maybe monasteries, hospitals - places where pilgrims stayed. I'm guessing you were mostly on your own and, as you put it, at the mercy of whatever came your way.

Fun isn't it? Wish I'd taken it :)
In that respect travel now can be almost as dangerous, witness my pickpocket experience at Montmartre :)
