I did that one almost a year ago. Only I got the characters to fly over to
Stonehenge. That was where they "traveled" back in time (after fighting some
druids). From there it was a brisk walk cross Europe :-) with their only
companion being a primitive hunter/gatherer that they picked up around
Stonehenge. He was played by a guest player, didn't understand a word of
what they said (and vice versa) and for a time actually believed that they
were some sort of god-avartars <insert-big-grin-here>

According to my knowledge, Stonehenge did in fact exist at the time, so it
took a while before the players realised that they were no longer in their
natural habitat ("Oh my God! My implant-GPS doesn't work!" :-)

Anyway, if you plan to do the same thing (with Stonehenge, that is), I will
reccommend you read at least the first three chapters of "Sarum" by Edward
Rutherfurd. It's a great book that describes the surroundings and events
around Stonehenge from 10.000 years BC up til present day. Actually read the
whole book while you got it, it's simply fantastic.
