@Grant_Colgate Doing it again in June with a small school based crew. I was on Ingleborough today - 10 miles and 22k steps. Cracking walk and well done to you!
A Warning from History.
A year after WW1 ended, A French Pilot, Jacques Trolley de Prévaux, flew an Airship from the Belgian coast to the devastated battlefields of France where millions died.
Lost for decades this is part of what he saw remastered in color and HD.
it’s a 2 minute radio program, never repeated, broadcast 18 times a week.
Bigger audience than Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon … combined.
Millions listen, with no need for the information it gives. Just to listen.
The BBC Shipping Forecast is 100 years old.
@LakesWeather Wolf Crags have the best echo/reverberation of anywhere in Cumbria! Next time you’re on the footpath underneath them, do a massive Swiss style ‘yodel-oh-eh-oh’ and wait for it to come back to you. You won’t be disappointed!
The grave of Robert Fitzroy at All Saints, South Norwood, inventor of the shipping forecast, now celebrating a century on the radio. My early morning prayer liturgy. Whilst I’m safe and warm, I get to circle the country with loving intention. Think of those in peril, those who exist in the midst of huge storms. Robert took his own life. May he rest in peace.
