It’s still a few days before Halloween and I have a whole plethora of Halloween themed posts as well as from history such as Corpse Roads and Dancing on the Dead at Enon Chapel – The Victorian Sensation! to more recent scary goings on such as The Enfield Poltergeist. For a simple post today though, just… Continue reading My close encounter with a London Ghost last week!

Why do so many think 2 weeks of Lockdown poverty is worse than 8 months being ExcludedUK?
I was in London yesterday. Not for fun or spending money, not really for work, well not paid work but to get out of the house and feel vaguely human whilst trying to plan for a future that I have no idea when it may arrive. Heading back to Tottenham Court Road Station I came… Continue reading Why do so many think 2 weeks of Lockdown poverty is worse than 8 months being ExcludedUK?
My new Donorbox Page
I’m putting out a little update, many will remember I was on the television and radio around the world in August on several occasions due to having no work since February and the British government excluding me from any support for the duration of the Coronavirus crisis.

London Vs Europe Map
It’s been a long time since I did one of my Maps posts and I thought I would break the ice again having found this map during the summer. Everyone knows how London is a massive wealth creator and indeed wealth magnet but until I found this map, it was hard to relate just how… Continue reading London Vs Europe Map
Glaciers, ciders, blow-outs and the helping hand of Wayland Smithy
Having been blown about for a few hours it was time to return to the car but not before I took a look at The Manger. An incredibly steep and beautiful valley formed during the las ice-age. In fact you can see the markings on the walls of the valley which show how the ice… Continue reading Glaciers, ciders, blow-outs and the helping hand of Wayland Smithy
Dragons Hill – Where Saint George killed that dragon!
We’re nearing the end of my series of posts set on and around Whitehorse Hill and the Ridgeway. It would be easy to think that surely there is nothing else to see within the short walk of the car park here but incredibly there is still more and if we have already visited the smith… Continue reading Dragons Hill – Where Saint George killed that dragon!
The Uffington Whitehorse
This beautiful hill carving, lying close to Uffington Hillfort in Oxfordshire is best viewed from a distance but can be accessed by walking uphill from the signposted carpark. The horse is 110m long and carved through the grass into chalk and has been dated to between 1400 and 600BC making it roughly 3,000 years old!… Continue reading The Uffington Whitehorse

Uffington Iron Age Castle
Just a short walk from the Ridgway and a little under 2 miles from Waylands Smithy is the old Iron Age hillfort which is known as Uffington Castle. It sits atop the summit of Whitehorse Hill. This is not the sort of castle you might want to visit to see dungeons and towers and… Continue reading Uffington Iron Age Castle
The Excluded UK March – Westminster 30th September 2020
As many of you may know I have been without any real work since the 6th February this year due to the government understandably shutting down inbound tourism to contain the Coronavirus outbreak. I was also told not to work, in fact it was illegal for me to do my job and yet 8 months… Continue reading The Excluded UK March – Westminster 30th September 2020
