Episode 51 - Rock, Paper, Scillies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
🌊 More Than Words – Stage 51: Rock, Paper, Scillies 🌊 Penultimate episode: chaotic weather, 900‑ft moor climbs, Victorian gun‑mishaps, golf swing existentialism, and a 12‑pub farewell tour that dissolved my coherence somewhere around pub ten. Then Cornwall goes full granite‑theatre: witches, smugglers, cliff‑edge legends, and the Atlantic throwing mood swings at the map. Featuring: 🌦️ Randomised climate — Met Office interns hitting “shuffle” ⛰️ Ashway Cross — Victorian MP, accidental shooting, g
Episode 50 - Fifty Shades Of Clay (opens the original)
Read excerpt
⛳ More Than Words – Episode 50: Fifty Shades of Clay ⛳ A milestone stage, celebrated in the only appropriate way: four rounds of golf, a shoulder that sounds like bubble‑wrap, hailstones in June, and a Strava art attempt that produced “Britain, but slightly melted.” Episode 50 didn’t so much arrive as throw weather, admin chaos, and cartography at me. Featuring: ⛳ Seniors League — Ryder Cup energy, Saga ambience 🌨️ June hail — British weather firing ice at golfers for sport 🗺️ Strava Britain — r

Read excerpt
⛰️ More Than Words – Episode 49: Moor Than Meets The Eye ⛰️ From supplement‑induced self‑respect to Cornwall emptying its entire historical junk drawer onto the route, this episode escalates like a county that’s lost the run of itself. Smugglers, Templars, panthers, hermits, lepers, ghost birds, diva stone — Cornwall is in full performance mode. Featuring: 💊 Supplement shame — three bottles, a pill organiser, and a man crossing a line 🍺 Walk‑pub combo — the only fitness plan that’s actually sust
Episode 48 - Devon Knows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
🎸More Than Words – Stage 48: Devon Knows 🎸 From solo Pixies gigs (middle‑aged edition) to golf rounds improved by sambuca, then straight into Devon — where castles brood, ghosts commute, and folklore behaves like it’s on a zero‑hours contract. Featuring: 🎧 Pixies at 40 — audience: mortgages, back pain; Debaser still unhinged 🍾 Sambuca golf — marginal gains via Italian firewater ⛪ Cheriton Bishop — bishops, Celtic landowners, and a church judging your cushions 🏰 Castle Drogo — Britain’s last cast
Episode 47 - Devon Sent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
🏖️ More Than Words – Episode 47: Devon Sent 🏖️ From Spanish siestas so deep they require a full reboot of the operating system to Devon, a county so pleased with itself it named a geological period after its own vibe. This episode is sunshine, pork, ancient geology, Tudor chaos, Canadian chapels in fields, and a dog digging up Victorian murder evidence like it’s auditioning for Time Team: Pets Edition. Featuring: 🍋 Almoradí’s grid — earthquake‑proof town planning and a market longer than most re
