...in which we travel east to the big-sky North York Moors to meet access campaigner and Cabinet Office disability ambassador Debbie North on a stretch of her beloved Coast to Coast walk. Setting out in springtime squalls from The Lion Inn at Blakey – infamous stopping point on Wainwright's enduringly popular cross-country journey – we learn from Debs about the outdoors childhood that forged her connection with wild places, before following her life-changing journey from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay during which she fell in love not only with the north country, but also with travel companion (and colleague) Andy North. Recalling the loss of her mobility and the dark days that followed, Debs describes the first ever Coast to Coast crossing made in a wheelchair; recollects her doomed attempts to reconnect with nature using didgeridoos; and tells us why she isn't calling for Stannah Stairlifts to be installed on Scafell Pike. You can find out more about Debs at debbienorth.org and on Twitter at twitter.com/DebbieNorth29 You can find out more about Access the Dales, Debs' charity. here.

Introduction Hosts: MrX Dave Morriss We recorded this on Monday September 12th 2022. We have a list of talking points each time and never get through them! Topics discussed Places visited: Lake District, England Loch Lomond, Scotland Stockbridge, Edinburgh Water of Leith, Edinburgh Death of Queen Elizabeth Died September 8th 2022 at Balmoral Castle, Scotland, aged 96 State funeral 2022-09-19 Navigation by phone: Dave's phone battery out of charge on the outskirts of Liverpool on the way to OggCamp. MrX's old Garmin GPS used weird routes when travelling Dave once met a lost driver going down Donkey Lane1 to the pedestrian railway crossing due to bad GPS directions Domestic stuff: Dave's house has been painted. It's covered in harling (aka rough-cast or pebble-dash in England) which has very sharp stones embedded in it, and this paint covers these sharp stones. Plumbing issues: stopping a dripping tap, replacing the washer, or with modern taps the module. Advisability of calling in a plumber! COVID-19, and related: The virus has not gone, even though there are many who pretend that it has. MrX and MrsX visited St Bees for a wedding with a Cèilidh and MrX caught COVID there, though it wasn't serious. MrsX did not catch it! Immunology is hard to understand! Some cold-like illnesses may be caused by other corona viruses and may help protect against SARS-CoV-2. Dave has an Immunology book, but hasn't read it yet! See the links for details. MrX mentioned Richard J Murphy in the context of being realistic about COVID-19 and continuing to take precautions. Reluctance to go shopping. Dave makes a weekly trip, wearing a mask. MrX uses Click and Collect. Dave has lost weight so some of his clothes are too big. MrX has trouble finding smaller sized clothes when shopping. Old technology: MrX recently found a box in his wardrobe with six Psion 3c Organisers in it, in various states of disrepair. From these a functioning organiser was made, which is in regular use. MrX used to have a Psion Series 3a but the hinge failed. Dave had a Psion Series 5mx for a time, as did MrsX. Dave's failed either because of a screen fault or a failure of the ribbon cable connecting to the screen. The Series 3c, and the later 3mx, have an Easter Egg available through a particular key sequence. This is a rendition of the anthem “Jerusalem”, and is included at the end of this episode (and is responsible for the show title). Dave had had a Psion Organiser II at work in the early days of organisers, but it was not particularly useful. MrX had an Atari Portfolio. He describes it as: a dreadful machine running DOS 2.11 It regularly crashed, losing all its memory. I decided to ditch it after having to type out my contacts list every time it crashed. MrX also had a Nokia N810, an Internet Tablet running Linux. Dave couldn't quite remember at the time of recording, but he bought a used Nokia 770 on eBay, which was the predecessor of the N810. This was also a Linux-based system, but it didn't last more than a couple of weeks sadly. Both bought - and still have - the ASUS Eee PC. Dave's is the 1005HA model. MrX still uses his from time to time Dave is thinking about installing a BSD flavour on his, but doesn't use it often. It currently has CrunchBang installed. Telegram: Dave runs it on his desktop (and laptop) as well as two phones. The phones run KDE Connect and are configured to tell the desktop when a message arrives! HPR New Year show: HonkeyMagoo (of the Linux LUGCast podcast) does a lot of the work with the recording in conjunction with Ken. He divides up the audio into shows, and in past years has prepared show notes. This year a LUGCast listener HPLovecraft did the notes, and they are very good! Postscript MrX found the Easter Egg, mentioned during our chat, on his Psion Series 3C, recorded it via Audacity, and sent me the resulting Easter Ogg! It has been appended to the main recording.

Donkey Lane is a public right of way, possibly since the 1700's. It starts as a pedestrian-only pathway then turns into a narrow tarmac-covered roadway with a pedestrian-only railway crossing.↩︎

This episode features Debbie North, founder of Access the Dales, who, since becoming a wheelchair user, has campaigned tirelessly to break down barriers in all aspects of promoting accessibility for all. After discovering in 2008 that she needed spinal surgery and fearing that she would never be able to walk on the fells again Debbie initially became despondent. Coping with such a changed life now confined to her wheelchair she began writing a blog about the challenges she was facing and called it Access the Dales. This prompted an offer from a friend to get her up to Goredale Scar in her wheelchair and that then inspired Debbie and her husband Andy to begin more challenges and start, as they called it, "making the inaccessible accessible". A coast to coast walk, St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay in 2015 was a huge achievement with Debbie in an All Terrain Hopper and resulted in a book about their journey-  In the spirit of Wainwright. They had walked the coast to coast path twice before Debbies surgery and each time in passing noticed a lovely house near Nateby. They were thrilled to hear that it was up for rent and it then became their new home in 2017. Andy's untimely death in June 2021 hasnt stopped Debbie from forging forward with the plans that they had made together, setting up a charity in Andy's memory and calling it after her blog - Access the Dales. It has just been announced that she has been made a Cabinet Office Disability and Access Ambassador for the countryside.  Ambassadors use their influential status as business leaders, to drive improvements to the accessability and quality of services and facilities in their sector for disabled people, as consumers and employees. They also work together as a group to galvanise and encourage accessability generally across the private sector, and work on projects of joint benefit.

Ramblers get lost at Greenup Edge! However, just below this confusing ridge is the easiest walking of all the high-level sections from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay, and is certainly something not to be missed. The all-round views are amongst the most dramatic in all Lakeland.Below, nestling by a lake is Grasmere – reputed to be one of the prettiest villages in England, and once home to the eighteenth century poet, William Wordsworth.

Shrouded in sea mist, Wainwright's toes ceremony and a tramping Kiwi spiv.Reflections of the Western Front, and Texel rams in lanolin raincoats.

Our two ‘Don't let the old man in' acolytes, ponder upon the ordeal ahead whilst visiting an ancient priory church and recceing the start of Wainwright's path.In the meantime, our heroes battle British plumbing, were scandalised at the sabotage of a world renowned mystery bag, and outmanoeuvre an ancient bedroom booby-trap. Having deftly sidestepping these obstacles, our adventurers float contentedly into a welcome border counties dreamtime.

Introduces two retirees about to challenge Wainwright's internationally renowned Coast to Coast Path.Our ‘grey nomad' heroes are experienced day walkers, however this 191 mile, three-week adventure is something new and a hint daunting to these plucky novices.Episodes of their bizarre encounters and comical antics along the trail, will unfold over the coming months on this podcast.Happy listening.

A number of Britain’s private schools are quietly being sold off to Chinese investors. Some say this is just a business story, others warn there’s something very suspicious going on. Since 2014, 17 independent schools in the UK have been bought by Chinese companies, some of which have direct ties to the communist party. We speak to Roger Sinnett, the headmaster of St Bees in Cumbria which is one of the schools bought by Chinese investors; Julian Fisher who helps link Chinese investors with struggling UK private schools and finally, Nigel Farage who says this is a communist takeover of Britain's education system and must be debated.

This week we talk about our recent trip to St Bees! and we discuss pressure in climbing.

…in which we walk the sandstone cliffs from St Bees to Whitehaven with author and historian Alan Cleaver. As we stroll, above a millpond-still Irish Sea, we learn about the coast's Mummers' tradition and the ghost ship Mary Jane; we hear bygone memories of snowy winters and diary entries from a Regency-era farm; we discuss the smuggling origins of rum butter; and we sign off with a yuletide letter from the Western Front.  Alan’s award-winning book, The Corpse Roads of Cumbria, is available from all good bookshops. You can find Alan on Twitter at @thelonningsguy  

This weeks episode we speak about Pete's half marathon, a recent coastal bouldering trip and the topic of the week is Parkour. Apologies for the crackly microphone in the middle section of the cast crackle goes away at the 24 min mark.
