Background: Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to bickering over the peace process.

I turned up to a small farm on Friday night to start my survival training weekend with Intrepid Expeditions. A company run by an ex-Royal Marine called Nigel. (Fantastic company - I thouroughly recommend them) It was a surprise to turn up, and see Chris - one of the members from my Everest trek. Turns out he is on the same trip. It was nice to have a bit of a catch up. We headed on up to a small copse nearby to start building our survival shelter. I teamed up with those accompanying me to Sweden in February (most were [View Full Entry]

After a week of celebration, dance and catharsis in Dorset, I am ready for a somewhat more serene time and make my way across the picturesque Devon countryside to the market town of Totnes. Totnes, so I am told, is something of a spiritual hotbed, not unlike Glastonbury, and I look forward to exploring the place. My friend Hana collects me at the train station. I have not actually seen Hana for about five years, and in fact, I’ve probably only met her once or twice in my life, but this doesn’t matter. On a human level, we may be virtual [View Full Entry]

Hey beste bloggers Welkom bij ons eerste bericht We zullen julllie eerst wat over ons vertrek vertellen. Na het vertrek om 6 uur 's morgens veel te vroeg voor de normale mens maar ja. We zijn goed en wel aangekomen in de vlieghaven van Stansted. Waar we ons even hebben laten gaan en overnacht hebben in een ja, een 4444444 sterren hotel( 4 dus ). We voelden ons daar wel een beetje verloren, maar ik kon me wel vinden voor een nacht als prinses. De volgende slaapplek was het tegenovergestelde. Vanuit Glastonbury hebben we dan de Chalice Well, de Tor en [View Full Entry]

If anybody would like copies of any of the films below, please contact me through this website to make arrangements. It's important for this kind of knowledge to be spread far and wide, so I am very happy to share the films and video's I have collected over the years. I do however need to cover my energy/time costs. Please note: The majority of the films below I feel would fall into 'anti-copyright' and need to be distributed. The rest I think have probably made their fair share and should be used for education and non-profit purposes only. Of course I [View Full Entry]

Arrived to stay halfway between Paignton and Brixham on the Waterside caravan park staying at Freda's caravan. Had a great week, although the weather wasn't up to scratch even though its summer. However, we made the most of it by visiting places where I had visited as a child, including Teignmouth, Torquay, Paignton, Brixham to name but a few. The seafront at Teignmouth has been improved for children with a completed large park with outdoor type fountains which the children run through, so the tip here is to take a change of clothes and a towel for them afterwards like we [View Full Entry]
