I’m not feeling particularly like writing today so I’m bringing out something I’d prepared for just such an occasion. Prepare yourself for the dreaded return of:
Older Chests – Damien Rice
Walk Away Renee – Billy Bragg
Irish Rover – The Dubliners & The Pogues
Cowsong – Kate Rusby

We now have the final lineup for our 78 mile sponsored walk in aid of the Joseph Salmon Trust.
Quite how I managed to persuade all these people to participate is beyond me. I suspect however it has great deal to do with the fact that my friends are a bunch of jolly good eggs.

I have a bit of a thing for zoos. I know that a lot of people feel they are cruel places, where animals are exploited for profit under a false venire of environmentalism. And to be honest I have a lot of sympathy for that point of view. But I still like them. I just [...] Read more »

There are some people who will tell you there is a big list of essential equipment necessary for long distance walking. Maps, hiking boots, emergency rations, waterproof clothing; the list goes on and on. To those so called experts I say pish, piddle and balderdash. What do they know about walking? Oh sure they may [...] Read more »

Even though I’m normally a pretty prolific poster anyway I must admit that I’m finding coming up with a blog entry each and every day a little grueling. Especially as I’m simultaneously working on another top secret project at the [...] Read more »
