A song co-written with Liam Bailey of Nottingham which takes it's title from the classic children's television series. It was inspired by late night discussions regarding celestial navigation and ancient monuments, those still visible and the numerous holy sites now lost to history which surround us all.
My journey began with a train to Pewsey, then along the Kennett and Avon Canal before heading over Milk Hill, crossing the Wansdyke and then making a grand circuit around the prehistoric landscape of Avebury, The Avenue, Silbury Hill and the West Kennett Long Barrow. The journey ends at Marden, once the site of another ancient henge which contained a man-made mound similar to Silbury Hill which was sadly dug to destruction by an antiquarian then left to the ravages of the plough.
