The CALResCo Tour Bus

Welcome to the Tour Bus !

Please take your seats (all have a panoramic view for your added pleasure) and the guide will begin...

Art Song This tour takes in all our major sights to ensure that you do not miss any of our delights. Just press the Next button to start our bus and to navigate through the site. You can return to the previous page using the Back button. The First button takes you to the start of the Images/Themes/Exhibition sections if you are in any of those, otherwise it returns you to our Home page. The other buttons allow you to go directly to any section of the site from the current page.

This tour is especially recommended for those who can access their browser cache offline as it allows you to quickly scan all our pages. For visitors with limited time you can stop the tour at any point and resume at a later date, or you may directly start at any page in the itinerary.

Note the Icons before each major section, these appear on the Navigation bars on each page and are an easy way to jump around the site (ed: if you get bored we will give a prize to anyone finding the shortest route between all our pages - The Travelling Visitor Problem !).
