Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds the New Generation

I recently purchased the Jeff Wayne - "War of the Worlds the New Generation" album. I was a huge fan of the original and have been greatly anticipating getting hold this new version. I have listened to it all the way through 4 times and this is my honest review... It's a really nice album that keeps the original feel but brings it up to date with some modern twists... The original album would take some beating though and it does have a few downsides.

Peak District - Bleaklow in the Snow



It always seems that when my friend Andy and I go walking we always get rain. We don’t mind though as we will walk no matter what the weather, today however the roll of bad luck had finally ended. We got the most beautiful wintery conditions with perfect blue skies, snow, ice and the hills to ourselves. We sett off from Birchin Clough at around 09:45, headed down in the Lady Clough and then up the path through the Pine Forest. We crossed over to Doctors Gate, walked along the Roman Road and then swung northward along Devil’s Dike. We had a great walk up to the summit of Bleaklow, swung eastwards to Bleaklow Stones and then headed back down via Grains in the Water. We climbed over the moors once again and then made our way back to Lady Clough via Upper North Grain.

Edinburgh Castle - The One O'Clock Gun



We visited Edinburgh Castle today and I must say I really enjoyed it. We purchased the audio guides, plugged ourselves in and went for a 5 hour adventure through history. Obviously, we had to make sure we were out in the courtyard for the one o'clock gun. It was the first time I had been in the city at the right time to hear it. It was pretty loud up close and I think the only person who was ready for the bang was the soldier pulling the trigger :-)
