Two Heads Are Better Than One!

20th Anniversary of Cumbrian Quest for Bega

Today sees the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Quest for Bega.

On June 24th 1989, Carole Young and I set off on an historic quest to the Cumbrian Lake District. What we discovered both inwardly and externally has continued to guide and inspire our lives to this day.

I am still in the process of writing a book about all of this, and I hope that it will be ready for the public domain sometime soon.

In the meantime, take a look at Esoteric Explorer for a taster of my earlier book, Bega and the Sacred Ring, which was published in 1992.

Penzance Beach Saved!

Mounts Bay

There is much joy to report this morning as news has reached us that the historic battery rocks beach in Penzance has been saved from development!

There was outcry last year from local residents when a scheme was proposed to build a ferry terminal over Sandy Cove, the historic beach by Battery Rocks in Penzance. The views from this beach across the world famous and instantly recognisable Mount's Bay, are uninterrupted, and the thought of any development at this site was abhorrent to say the least.

For now, at least, sense has prevailed. The abundant wildlife can continue to live on the beach, and local people and visitors can continue to enjoy the town beach and rock-pools without the fear of it all being completely destroyed.

Thanks to everyone who helped oppose this disastrous scheme, including Heritage Action, Save the Holy Headland and PZ News. The voice of the people has been heard!
