Marc dives into a series of bizarre and tragic stories: a couple dies in a car accident while allegedly engaged in sexual activity, a woman finds a bat in her basement toilet, and an 11-year-old girl survives a mountain lion attack in Malibu while protecting the family's chickens. The segment then shifts to human-made curiosities, including the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino replacing all human dealers with electronic table games to save costs, and a TikTok star going viral after enduring food poisoning mid-flight. The stories highlight a mix of unexpected danger, technology-driven change, and modern social media phenomena.

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas interviews photographer and adventurer Quintin Lake about his remarkable journey walking the entire coastline of Great Britain. Over five years, Quintin captured the beauty and diversity of Britain's shores through his photography, documenting the challenges and discoveries he made along the way. The conversation explores his inspiration, preparation, memorable encounters, and the profound impact the journey had on his perspective of Britain and himself. In this conversation, Quintin Lake shares his extraordinary journey of walking around the coast of Britain, discussing the challenges and insights gained along the way. He reflects on the beauty of capturing the perfect light in photography, the rich history of places like Northumberland, and the differences in camping rights between Scotland and England. Quintin also highlights the role of social media in enhancing his travel experience, the importance of both natural and industrial landscapes, and the evolving appreciation of architecture. He shares anecdotes of wildlife encounters, the impact of the pandemic on his journey, and the meticulous process of selecting photographs for his book. Finally, he reveals his future plans to climb and camp on the mountains of England and Wales, emphasizing the joy of exploration and discovery. Producer's Note: You'll want to watch the YouTube/video version of this episode if you can, as Quintin shared a ton of pictures with us that he gave us permission to put into the video (we've also set up a gallery you can browse as well, see links below) Links The Perimeter Book - Amazon Link Quintin Lake's Website Quintin Lake's Walk Blog Gallery of Pictures from the Walk Quintin Lake Instagram Turn right at Land's End: The story of his 7000 mile British coastal walk Notes from a Small Island Kingdom by the Sea UK National Trails Mountains of Britain Land's End to John o'Groats Walk Thames Path Walk Takeaways Quintin Lake walked the entire coastline of Great Britain over five years. His journey was inspired by a meditative walk along the River Thames. Preparation for the walk involved both physical and mental training. The journey was broken into manageable stages, often using historic counties as guides. Quintin faced significant challenges, especially in the rugged terrain of Scotland. He encountered many memorable people along the way, including a farmer in Dumfries and Galloway. The experience changed his perception of Britain and its diverse landscapes. Quintin's photography captures the beauty and drama of Britain's coastline. He emphasizes the importance of being present and contemplative while walking. The journey taught him resilience and self-knowledge through overcoming physical challenges. Capturing the perfect light is essential for photography. Northumberland offers a rich tapestry of history and beauty. The right to roam in Scotland allows for more freedom in camping. Social media can enhance travel experiences by connecting with locals. Industrial landscapes hold as much value as natural ones. Architectural appreciation evolves over time and is not static. Photographing transient landscapes captures moments that may not last. Selecting photographs is a meticulous process that requires careful consideration. Wildlife encounters can lead to unforgettable moments in nature. Future adventures can continue to inspire and lead to new discoveries. Sound Bites "I'd been a travel photographer for about 25 years and I'd always associated inspiration with the exotic... And then about 12 years ago, I got meningitis and was physically very limited... when my strength came back, I decided to do a kind of meditative slow walk down the River Thames... And the pictures were some of the best I'd ever produced." "The Norwegians have this great expression, the doorstep mile, the hardest part of any journey is taking the first step. I'm a great believer, just kind of go." "It was 10 times harder than I imagined it would be in the end. But at the beginning I had the naivety of thinking, you know, I just started from London, walking down the South coast and it seemed quite low stakes." "I truly had a cosmic experience... I walked to Holy Island, those six kilometers in moonlight... I've got these strange pictures of these things in moonlight. And then I camped on the bay there where the Vikings landed on the north of the island in the sea grass." "My first day at Gretna Green into Scotland, I was pulling this 'I'm lost' line when the farmer beckoned me over. But all he wanted to know is if he could advise me the best way across his field, if I needed any food and if I wanted any water." "I've never understood why people don't visit kind of nuclear power stations with the same reverence as cathedrals. To me, I don't see a difference there. They are the kind of modern wonders and they're kind of extraordinary and they're visually extraordinary." "I strongly resist the idea of Britain being entirely a sort of historical palimpsest... the fascinating thing is that you have these layers of history of Norman Tudor, the whole thing, it's all there, wherever you look, but then you also have these modernist things." "There were five otters that just walked past me. I had my hand on the jet boil stove and I just gently turned the sound down and just kept completely silent and they walked past me." "What I hope it achieves is the kind of lived experience of what it's like to do a walk like that. That you can walk through a firing range and see blown up tanks. Then you can walk onto a beach and see a bunch of kids windsurfing. Then you can see some piece of classic picturesque England with thatched cottages and pubs and people with dogs."

We explore the ultra-tacky Roo Grips from Grip Master that might transform your short game, proving that sometimes the smallest equipment changes yield the biggest performance improvements.The eternal golfer's dilemma surfaces: do you haul your beloved clubs across the country for just one round, or face the uncertainty of rental sets?

Award-winning photographer Renato Granieri discusses with host Sue Stockdale his transformation from a corporate career to becoming an wildlife and travel photographer. Born in Sardinia and settled in the UK, Granieri shares how a trip to the Faroe Islands sparked his passion for photography at the age of 40 and the pivotal role his partner, a travel journalist, played in his career switch. Granieri emphasises the importance of patience, visualisation, and planning in capturing stunning wildlife images and describes the diverse global locales he explores from Antarctica to the jungles of Africa. He also shares his insights on using new technologies like drones for photography and how his work has become a lifestyle deeply rooted in nature conservation. About Renato GranieriRenato has been a wildlife photographer since 2014. Since his first visit to the Arctic, Renato has travelled regularly to the Arctic and Antarctica. In 2024, Renato has reached the geographical North Pole on an expedition vessel. Renato has won several awards, including the Grand Prize of the National Geographic Traveller on two separate occasions, the Bird Photographer of the Year and the Asferico International Contest. Renato has been commissioned by newspapers, magazines, tour operators and tourist boards and also leads specialist photographic tours to a number of destinations around the world. Amongst all, he spends considerable time with chimpanzees, both with those in the wild and those under rehabilitation, contributing to raising money for the preservation of the species. Renato has a strong passion for conservation and is actively involved in a project with Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Sierra Leone. In 2022, he was made an official ambassador for the chimpanzees of Sierra Leone.
