Salisbury is about and hour and 20 mins from Heathrow.
There's no decent Stonehenge webcams I could find; the few search hits I got led to joke sites.
Discover the story of the original Salisbury and take the family for a day out to Old Sarum, 2 miles north of where the city stands now. The mighty Iron Age hill fort was where the first cathedral once stood and the Romans, Normans and Saxons have all left their mark.
Today, 5,000 years of history are told through graphic interpretation panels on site. Families, heritage lovers and walkers can enjoy a great value day out at Old Sarum- you could even bring a picnic and enjoy the fantastic views across the Wiltshire countryside. The gift shop has a delicious range of ice-creams and exclusive English Heritage gifts and produce. Wooden bows and arrows are also on sale to help the kids imagine what life was like all those years ago!
Could this be the first PitStop?

Do you have evidence for this...I am behind and stuck at work?? ???
If not, perhaps it can go to speculation?

The Amazing Race 17 started production a week ago today, and already, several of the teams and their destinations have been identified.
The teams were heavily photographed when the race began last Wednesday in Boston, which is a nice change from the series of Los Angeles starts. As always, the frighteningly resourceful Reality Fan Forum posters have identified several of the teams. (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,21996.0.html) (The site is also compiling sightings from around the world and possible eliminations in this timeline thread (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,21999.0.html), which obviously contains spoilers.)
Continuing with the beauty queen kick that the producers seem to be on (Ericka, Caite), the cast includes not one but four beauty queens/pageant winners/whatever. Four! According to the site, they are Mallory Ervin, Miss Kentucky, who’s racing with her dad; Miss South Carolina Stephanie Smith, who’s paired with her boyfriend; and Mrs. Colorado 2009 Megan Yarberry and her friend Mrs. Nebraska 2009 Jennifer Hart.
Among the other racers is YouTube star KevJumba, Kevin Wu, is racing with his father, and a team of two Princeton grads who are members of the a cappella group the Nassoons. The University Press Club has details and interviews with Connor Diemand-Yauman and Jonathan Schwartz.
The web site that tracks and attempts to identify Amazing Race contestants has retracted its identification of two beauty queen contestants, which means there may be just two instead of four beauty queens on the 17th season.
A note posted in the cast identification thread says, “RFF regrets to say that this identification may be incorrect, so these names will be removed while we investigate further. We do sincerely apologize to both women if we have caused either them or their families any distress.” They’re no longer confident in their identification of Mrs. Colorado 2009 Megan Yarberry and her potential teammate, Mrs. Nebraska 2009 Jennifer Hart. The discussion of the possible misidentification goes into greater detail.
So the information from oman is fake? I don't think they have time to depart oman on Tuesday since they stay south korea on Monday.

The Oman sighting was last Tuesday and the information about South Korea is for next Monday. We're hearing from people who will be in the South Korea activities next week. It should work out well.

It's next Monday? so Seoul maybe the last two-legs city this season.
Oh, cool! I knew it was in the U.K., but wasn't sure which of the four countries it was!Paron:
Anyway, that's just great they'll be in the United Kingdom first! Why, we haven't been there since the awesome, donkey-caused elimination of Ari & Staella in TAR12!

I think there will be one leg in Korea, then another in a different country. Followed by the final leg in the US with a intermediate stop like in Hawaii or Alaska.
I hear...no intermediate stop. :)Kinda slow on the uptake. What does that mean?

Oh, awesome. They departing yet?I hear...no intermediate stop. :)Kinda slow on the uptake. What does that mean?
It means we're going straight from the penultimate pit stop to the final city, with no Hawaii / Alaska / North American country in between.
No topaz...no Naples.Or Capri? Just to be sure.

This season's cast of Racers will travel over 32,000 miles, covering four continents and 30 cities, with first-time visits to Bangladesh, Ghana and the Arctic Circle. Additionally, for the first time in the history of the Race, the Team to finish in first place during the premiere episode will be awarded a surprise, game-changing advantage.30 cities? That's a lot of cities. That can't be right, can it?

Where did you see that please? Channel and time? If y'all will keep track of that, you have a better chance of getting caps!
Phil Keoghan: Lots of press interest in the new Amazing Race cast announced, some fantastic characters this season and a big surprise for all of them at the starting line on September 26th!
on Wednesday
I counted 12 stations and maybe 3 (standing) suits of armor (it's hard to tell with the camera angles).
"You have to finish"=Roadblock?

*SPECULATION*
I kinda observed that Claire was kinda wet. Perhaps due to the water task that involves getting the knight's flag? Oh. Wait, near the Knight Costume was a flag. Maybe one team member (or both) get the flag from the water, put it beside the knight, and target the knight.
*SPECULATION*
Also, there is a pair of girls (maybe a team?) running away from them.

Couldn't it be a water related detour/general task instead of being part of this task. we see in a promo(chad and stephanie i think) are both in some kind of lake??I counted 12 stations and maybe 3 (standing) suits of armor (it's hard to tell with the camera angles).

Poor Claire :'(
I think that both members have to retrieve the flag from the water. Brook's hair was kind of wet too. And the girls running away may be Nat and Kat.
The reason I thought the running away team is Andi & Jenna is because of their clothes. Brook & Claire are wearing the exact same outfits that they had on at Logan. Jenna was wearing a red/dark red t-shirt at Logan very similiar to the color of this person. It's difficult to really see details of who is running with her. Some see blonde hair, I see what appears to be green. Maybe the top of her backpack?
But Heliox brings up a good point: where is this team's crew? We could spend days debating it only to find out it was some poor civilians that just happened to be there! :lol:
Screencaps!!
Q's: which team is seen leaving? I see a fallen knight. Could that be Michael Wu in caps 7, 8, 9 ? Who goes to Claire first? cap 20, 21. Is it Mallory??

I can't see your caps, Peach...all I see is this:

:duno:
I believe the team running away is Nat and Kat. The woman on the left has black hair and her teammate is a blonde. They can't be a co-ed team because the women(excluding Vicki) in the co-ed teams are blonde. Anyone agrees? :duno:
Oh man, that promo is like watching the Zapruder film - you just have to play it over and over...
I think I was correct about the knights tasks taking place near Warwick at this place:
http://www.knightsofmiddleengland.com/flashsite/tv-film.htm
Their location happens to be right near the Saxon Mill - which is on the river Avon and has an pond area that looks like where they grab the flags from.
There is also Guys Cliffe mansion nearby

I have played up and down with this pic and I don't believe we can say who it is yet with certainty. The "blonde" could be a while cap of some sort. The clothes do resemble Andie's first outfit but :duno:

They are kind of big, those are the ID numbers. Try reducing your zoom level to 75% and give it some time... y'all let me know though if there are problems.
Bangladesh, in particular, affected the teams in a profound, meaningful way, Keoghan said, his voice suddenly quiet. The Amazing Race visited Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos in previous seasons, but Bangladesh shook the Racers on a whole other, more fundamental level. The low-lying country suffered serious flooding and landslides in June, and is often affected by natural disasters. The country has more than 200 rivers, and is prone to severe flooding.

I just got back from France,'' Keoghan said suddenly, ``and it's, like, five in the morning for me.''
I'm sorry, but has the race visited Laos yet? :o :groan:Ucocoa, you're quite right. The Amazing Race has not been to Laos yet.
And no episode title, yet again.
Thanks! We have also been tucking this in TAR Media until the threads are updated.
