About Me
I was born in
Highbury, London, in 1952, spending most of my youth in Edgware,
North West London. After marriage
in 1978 I moved out of London to South Bucks, where I still
live.
At sixteen I
joined Thomas Cook the
Travel Agents and started my own agency around 1974,
until embracing the internet.
I created a web business specialising in escorted tours
and coach trips. Arranging private tours to battlefield areas
developed my interest in Military History, in particular
underground sites, both World War I and II, and especially the
Cold War. I am treasurer of Subterranea
Britannia a registered
charity who’s members study and investigate man-made and
man-used underground places — from mines to railway
&
canal tunnels, military defences to nuclear bunkers and
everything in between. .
My other
interests is canal
boating, and I have a
trailable narrowboat, using t I also likes Country music, but someone has to! |
