strangerover@yahoo.co.uk BioI'm Daniel and live in either Chester, England or on a remote island. (A north sea gas platform 150 miles east of Aberdeen)...
Having recently developed a penchant for visiting Iceland (the country, not the frozen food store..) I went exploring there in February and July 2005...
Leisure is mainly gardening, walking and horse-riding, amateur arboriculture, messing around with odd and old engineering artefacts and attending various Goth nights in Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham, Leeds or even Slimelight down in London.
I relax by reading about weird things, occasionally having a mammoth binge on Amazon:
Although independent and second hand book sellers are important too.
2004 reading list... book backlog... 2005 reading list... 2006 reading list... 2007 reading list...
I sometimes turn wooden bowls & chalices etc. on my lathe in an artisan sort of way. Other interests and hobbies include electronics and computing history - I'm an Instrument Mechanic by trade...
For going out locally I'm sometimes in Telford's Warehouse, Watergates or Revolution Bar, usually on a day off now and then too for a long lunchtime snack.
Further a'field I get out and about walking - particularly around Salisbury, Wiltshire, The Ridgeway, Welsh / Shropshire Borders, Yorkshire Moors or North Staffordshire and general wild and enchanting places. More recently this has included Iceland, outwards from Reykjavik.
I am particularly interested in landscape, megalithic, topological or arboricultural history and mythology.
Longer periods of leisure take in spells touring in the namesake Strangerover - ex army battlefield ambulance, or similar 'cabriolet' - both V8 Landrover 101 ex-general service army trucks.
The writings under my 'Strangerover' username journal are generally in a non-attributable style and are the copyright of myself, reasonable quotations within context may be made elsewhere with reference. Further information if necessary via my contact details above.
