Podcast Overview

Exploring Britain’s furthest flung places — and the limits of one man’s knees. “More Than Words” chronicles a virtual expedition across Britain’s extremes — from the northernmost village to the southernmost settlement, with stops at the highest peak, the lowest fen, and several places that sound made up. It’s part fitness challenge, part cultural exploration, and mostly an excuse to write about obscure trivia, failed resolutions, and the joys of conditional formatting. Expect puns, ghosts, and reflections on the slow collapse of my joints.

Episode 43 - At Longworth Last

🏃‍♂️ More Than Words – Stage 43: At Longworth Last 🏃‍♂️ Fifty‑five and a half kilometres in five days — a pace that suggests either admirable discipline or a man who has finally run out of excuses to avoid exercise. The spreadsheet is thrilled. The spreadsheet is, frankly, the only one who is. Featuring: • 🚐 Flue Vaccinations — Britain’s chimneys finally get the healthcare they deserve • 🏰 Shalstone: Domesday vibes and a redwood that lifts • ⛪ Finmere: a rectory with the structural stability of wet cardboard • 🛤️ Newton Purcell: Roman roads and HS2-induced eye‑twitching • 🔔 Caversfield: medieval bell‑makers, exclave drama, and RAF ghosts in the grass • 🛍️ Bicester: Anglo‑Saxons, Danes, and discounted Dior • 🐘 Kidlington: Chinese tourist mystery tours, and an elephant on a roundabout • 🗑️ Yarnton: meadow‑mowing Fight Club It’s travel writing with typo vans, Roman roads that refuse to retire, medieval admin chaos, and a shopping centre that somehow outranks the town it’s named after. Equal parts historic, surreal, and aggressively British.

Episode 42 - Quick Silver

🥾 More Than Words – Episode 42: Quick Silver 🥾 Episode 42 is what happens when you mix Spanish sun‑wandering with Northamptonshire’s ability to look normal while quietly hoarding enough history to flatten a GCSE syllabus. One minute you’re dodging tractors on citrus caminos; the next you’re knee‑deep in boot‑maker riots, Saxon skyscrapers, and a county that behaves like Britain’s polite fever dream. Featuring: • 🎺 80 musicians weaponising nostalgia at unsafe emotional volumes • 🥾 Raunds Riots — an army battalion formed to complain to management • 🏺 Stanwick Lakes — archaeology in such obscene quantities it feels like Time Team went feral • 🏰 Higham Ferrers — endowing buildings like medieval Pokémon • 🚂 Rushden Railway — a heritage line with a CAMRA bar, proving civilisation peaked in Northamptonshire • 💧 Wellingborough — once a spa town, now dealing with sweet‑based crime like a low‑budget Dickens reboot • 🏗️ Earls Barton — Saxon skyscraper built on foundations thinner than a Ryanair tray table • 🐑 Silverstone — hitting a sheep with a racing car and accidentally invented Formula 1 • 📚 H.E. Bates — Rushden lad who launched Catherine Zeta‑Jones by accident • ⚔️ Northampton Castle — where an archbishop rage‑quit England mid‑trial • 🛡️ Battle of Northampton — 30 minutes of medieval admin chaos featuring betrayal, rain, and zero competence • 🛶 Stanwick logboats — because nothing says “heritage” like building prehistoric canoes for fun From citrus groves to Saxon towers, from Darth Vader selfies to Roman villas under gravel pits — Episode 42 is polite mayhem with excellent manners.

🗺️ More Than Words – Stage 41: Post Script 🗺️ From Storm Dave to Spain’s early‑season sun, and from Chatteris’ prehistoric coastline to Holme Fen’s subterranean geography lesson, Stage 41 delivered weather, wetlands, and one man’s ongoing feud with Ryanair’s seat pitch. Featuring: • 🌪️ Storm Dave: a storm named after the bloke who cleans your gutters • 🏖️ Spain in April: promenades, pine dunes, and locals treating “closed due to collapse” signs as polite suggestions • 🏝️ Chatteris: the Skegness of prehistory, but with worse drainage • 📜 Ramsey Abbey: medieval powerhouse funded partly in eels • 🐉 Great Fen: re‑wetting the landscape one apologetic hectare at a time • 📉 Holme Fen: the UK’s lowest point, where the ground is literally leaving • ☄️ Glatton meteorite: Cambridgeshire’s most surprising garden visitor • ✈️ RAF Molesworth: Cold War chain‑link chic • 🍺 Keyston: a pub so decorated it makes other pubs look like they’ve given up A landscape sinking under the weight of its own history, a recycled monastery, a meteorite in the onion bed, and a medieval skeleton with better housing than most renters. Onward.
