Three years since The Revolution ROARED- A Stripe of a Different Color revisited

It was Liverpool Comic Con and Star Wars weekend, though I couldn’t really afford it, so instead worked on a few story ideas.

I was reminded on Facebook that it’s been three years since my second paid story and First SF short story was published in Galaxy’s Edge magazine. There are a few other stories scattered in a few notebooks, Intergalactic Cat Wars, time travels, etc. Speaking of which, it’s also been twelve years since Tiglet got his hiking paws on, so expect more of him on future 50 things to do in Halton vids.

It’s not just cat aliens, my forthcoming Brief Encounter for the Doctor Who Project in the summer, pitched as Attack of the Medusoids was inspired by the line in Frontier in Space, where he was captured by the Medusoids on his way to a peace conference to meet a giant rabbit, a pink elephant and a horse with yellow spots! So I’ll get into that nearer the time.

Right now, it’s either go for a walk or do some editing, oh the agonies of choice!

Birthday hike and Widnes Market Comic con 3 –

Get ready for a muddy trail. Doing the 50 quirky thing in Halton has made me redo a few old treks but with a new angle.
After going to St Luke’s (Not edited yet) I thought I’d wander up to the Bold area, in hindsight this was not a good idea. Last time I was there in 2020 (Over the bongs and far away July 2020-10 part vid) It was certainly a lot drier and I saw a Kestral and a Hare, plus I carried on to the Dream. Not so this trip.
A nicer stroll was round Clockface colliery. Then next day and a bit of the day after was the third Comic con at Widnes Market, which was good fun.

Another interesting analysis of the Metanarrative, which he calls the Collective Journey/Transmedia-

50 QUIRKY THINGS TO DO IN HALTON- The Bridgewater Canal and Daresbury Firs

I likened this be more like the 12 tasks of Hercules and I’m not wrong. So this time I went down part of the Bridgewater canal again, which is somewhere I’ve been lots. Back in August 2012 I walked from Runcorn to Manchester, split over two days
This time I walked up Daresbury firs, so that was nice and quiet.

Next up- April walks in the park!

 

50 QUIRKY THINGS TO DO IN HALTON- The Transpennine Trail and Pickerings Pasture/Silver Jubilee Bridge and Spike Island

I likened this to Challenge Anneka or Enterprise Bingo, though it’s proving to be more like the 12 tasks of Hercules.

I noticed straight away how several things could be lumped together, all accomplished in one go. That didn’t happen as the tide was in, so didn’t go to Oglet shore- the Hidden beach. I did see a Kestrel/Hobby though.

Anyway, after stopping at the Childe of Hale pub for half a pint and a rest, I continued along the main road and up to Pickerings Pasture- two in one go. Then the Silver Jubilee Bridge and Spike Island were another two.

That was exhilarating, but still a lot more to do!
