I am reading the wonderful book as a live presentation, but offer this audio podcast of the recording. 

I was reminded after a recent visit to the Cheddar Gorge of my visit to the Cheddar Gorge Cheese Company in Somerset, so thought I would share it here.  This recording features Paul Stoneman and myself in 2010.

On 4th August 2010 I broadcast this podcast Episode 1527 (I called it 4th July in the podcast!) and having listened to this old fun show I am thinking of bringing it back as a podcast. I would be interested to know what you think. 

Mr Suggett and Mr Vobes huddle around their respective microphones and pick a topic to have a natter about. In this instant, they discuss reasons for the dwindling numbers of traditional clubs and societies and the gulf of ages between various groups.

Thanks for listening.

 

Today I present a podcast from my archive. I am visiting HMS Warrior  in Portsmouth in the company of Andrew Bains, the ships archivist.

 HMS Warrior is a 40-gun steam-powered armoured frigate built for the  Royal Navy in 1859–1861. She was the name ship of the Warrior-class  ironclads. Warrior and her sister ship HMS Black Prince were the first  armour-plated, iron-hulled warships, and were built in response to  France's launching in 1859 of the first ocean-going ironclad warship,  the wooden-hulled Gloire. Warrior conducted a publicity tour of Great  Britain in 1863 and spent her active career with the Channel Squadron.  Obsolescent following the 1871 launching of the mastless and more  capable HMS Devastation, she was placed in reserve in 1875, and was  "paid off" – decommissioned – in 1883.

In today's Bald Explorer Podcast, I talk to the lovely Matthew Holdsworth about the videos and walks we do in Surrey, I venture into the archive and find some audio from 2010 when I took a journey across the Amerbley Wild Brooks with my friend Mr Pegram. The Book of the Week is  The New Sylva: A Discourse of Forest and Orchard Trees for the Twenty-First Century. You can see it here, https://amzn.to/2B4pYM1. Hope you enjoy the listen.

Today  chat to Gary Baines from Shoreham Fort in West Sussex about the history of the important heritage site, his involvement there and the walk on 27th January 2019 that members of the Bald Explorer Group will be enjoying.

Also, I feature some of the new DSLR equipment I use for filming. There's a new Book of the Week - The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono -  and a report on the Senior Management Team behind the Bald Explorer. Who are they and what do they do?

This is the fifth in the weekly series of the Bald Explorer Podcast. In this episode I talk to Glynn Jones, a trustee from the Friends of the South Downs. Richard Suggett from the Veg Grower's Podcast pops in to discuss with my new Improve Your Vlogging course and Harold of Cardboard is my guess walker in a forthcoming video. 

Welcome to the weekly Bald Explorer Podcast. In episode four I am looking at maps. I am curious about the different ones available for walking. I am also developing my style of filming, so what do you think? Julia and I are in Fishbourne, near Chichester in West Sussex, enjoying a walk along the banks of the estuary. And I have the new book of the week!

Hope you enjoy the podcast. 

This is the third of my magazine style podcasts that are produced weekly.

In today's episode: 

The Cissbury Ring Christmas Walk review. The Book of the week is a guide book, but how did it do? John Maze talks shows me a decor airfield while on a walk  with the Friends of the Southdowns Society. Julia and I return from Chanctonbury Ring where we have recorded our new Gallery Show. And finally, a round up of the years successes. 

Hope you enjoy the episode. 

On 29th December 2018, to celebrate the first year of the Bald Explorer Facebook Group, 23 members met up at Cissbury Ring near Worthing in West Sussex for a stroll around the Ironage Hillfort and explored the Neolithic flint mines and enjoy the view. Have a listen as the group makes their way down from the top of this ancient and special place.

Richard Suggett and I take a walk in the countryside and have a chat about podcasting, film equipment and the approach to filming making.

This is the second official BE podcast published on 22 December 2018.

Today I am looking into Geocaching, life with an Esse Ironheart wood burning stove, recommending a delightful book and launching the new gallery video.

This is the first of the weekly podcasts from the Bald Explorer team. In it I highlight the videos coming up for the week ahead with a couple of excerpts from them. I recommend my book of the week. Give a reason to become a patron and support the channel and hint at the aims and ambitions for an audio version of the Bald Explorer. I hope you enjoy listening. Your comments and suggestions are very welcome.

Some years ago I went to the Bodyworlds exhibition with my son, Stanley. Body Worlds is a traveling exposition of dissected human bodies, animals, and other anatomical structures of the body that have been preserved through the process of plastination. Gunther von Hagens developed the preservation process which "unite[s] subtle anatomy and modern polymer chemistry", in the late 1970s.

Today I am shown around St Giles in Shermanbury by the very knowledgeable Richard Putnam. The Anglican church of St. Giles is well away from the modern roads, approached along a tree-lined bridleway leading to Shermanbury Place, east of the Brighton road. A small church is mentioned in the Domesday Book, but the present structure is of 14th-century origin. The roof is of Horsham stone slates with a weatherboarded belltower at the west end, containing two bells. My podcasts are funded 100% by people like you.
