Introduction

There are two main ways to navigate this site:

• The Geographic Index

  Geographic Index

  Drill-down to a specific location using the maps held in the Map Room.

• The Subject Index

  Subject Index

  Find all the pages relating to a specific area of interest using the Subject Index

  This is held in the Library along with the Archives, Site Map and the Walks Index.

Here in the Entrance Lobby you can check for news of recent site updates, find links to other general interest sites or search for specific information or photos.

Next door is the Shop and Games Room. The Shop doesnʼt sell anything any more, but there are some freebies like ecards and wallpapers on offer, along with some simple games.

Further down the corridor, past the cupboard holding the servers, are various workshops and administrative rooms. Not particularly interesting, but you are welcome to visit.

The Strolls

Not unsurprisingly some of the most popular pages on this site are the walks; it is after all called Strolling Guides. Here are some of my favourites:

• Winspit and Worth Matravers

  One of the finest stretches of the Jurassic Coast.

• Tout Quarry

  Fine views back along the coast from the heights of Portland.

• Eyeworth Pond

  Deep in the New Forest lie the scant remains of a gunpowder factory.

• Flevopark to IJberg

  Parts of Amsterdam that most tourists never see.

For a full list, please see the Walks Index.

Mailing List

I have had to suspend my mailing list due to hackers, however, if you would like to know when I update this site, you can follow me on my Facebook page, on Threads or on Mastodon.

Purchasing Photos

I regret to say that it is no longer possible to buy prints from this site. However, please feel free to contact me, if you have any specific requirements.

Optimisation

This site was originally written to be viewed at a resolution of 800 x 600 or higher on a desktop or laptop computer. It has subsequently been adapted and works more or less okay on mobile phones and less so on tablets. Although most of the site is accessible, after a fashion without using JavaScript, the Slide Show, Games and one or two other functions cannot be made to work without it. There is more information in the FAQ.
