Lucy and I escaped decorating and went for a walk in London, using the Time Out London Walks Book, Volume 2, we decided to walk through the west end and thought that following the life of Aleister Crowley would give an interesting element to the walk.
Following the Time Out guide, we walked from Euston down Grey's Inn Road, along High Holborn, down Long Acre, through to Old Compton Street and then along to Old Bond Street and down through to Victoria via St James's Park. Each place was related to Aleister Crowley in some manner, either through the Golden Dawn group or because he lived or dined there.
Despite having a new digital camera, it has still taken me four days to get these posted. I have been decorating since Monday and Tuesday, which is a small excuse. The photos are on gavinbell.com.
travel: April 2003 Archives
Found Indy Junior by Bryan Boyer via SixLog. It is a user configurable flash map creation tool, you edit an xml file to say where your travels take you, past, present or future and then upload the flash file and xml, plus the generated html, simple really and very cool.
This should make a map of our honeymoon trip to Chile appear, photos of some of the places we went to are here.
We went from London via the US to Santiago and then stayed for a few days in Valdivia, a small town at the confluence of two rivers a few hours south of Santiago. Then we headed to Osorno to get a bus to Volcan Puyehue, where we spent five days walking up to the volcano, across the volcanic plane to some springs and back. Absolutely amazing landscapes with snow overlaid on ash, creating wonderful zebra patterns.
Then we went to Punta Arenas and spent christmas there, and saw lots of penguins on Isla Magdelena. We then went to the Torres Del Paine and visited Campemento Britanico and Glacier Grey, we ended up pulling ashore a small iceberg, 5 foot across on new years eve. Then back to Santiago and home to London and being on honeymoon meant free business class upgrades virtually all the way...

Thought I'd post this map of the new East London line extension, as I've been meaning to do it for a while. The tube is coming to Forest Hill and to Sydenham - hooray. Finally I'll get to live on the tube and in South London =) well in 2008 if RailTrack Network Rail get their act together.
View map of new southern extension to East London line
UPDATE:, I've posted a new map in this article.
