More Than Words

Exploring Britain’s furthest flung places — and the limits of one man’s knees. “More Than Words” chronicles a virtual expedition across Britain’s extremes — from the northernmost village to the southernmost settlement, with stops at the highest peak, the lowest fen, and several places that sound made up. It’s part fitness challenge, part cultural exploration, and mostly an excuse to write about obscure trivia, failed resolutions, and the joys of conditional formatting. Expect puns, ghosts, and reflections on the slow collapse of my joints.Gary Wilson Ciencias Sociales Escritos y Comentarios sobre Viajes

    🌊🗺️ More Than Words – Episode 22: West Side Story 🗺️🌊


    From British winter trudging to neon-lit Miami smugness, before plunging back into Fermanagh’s lakes, legends, and paperwork-heavy dampness — Stage 22 is what happens when walking logs develop jet lag.


    Featuring:


    🍺 Liverpool reunions: retirement smugness vs inbox trauma


    🌴 Miami Beach: art deco excess, rollerbladers, and fitness via tourism

    
🏞️ Fermanagh: where water owns the land and lets humans visit


    🧺 Kesh: wicker bridges and early-Irish flat-pack engineering

    🪨 Boa Island: war goddesses, and the world’s grimmest double act


    🏰 Castle Caldwell: defeated not by rebels, but by plants

    
📜 The Cathach: history’s bloodiest copyright dispute
🍶 Belleek pottery: famine relief turned translucent luxury

    It’s folklore, copyright wars, haunted islands, soggy borders, and enough lakes to legally classify as a water feature.

    More Than Words – Stage 20: Show Me The Moneys 💷🏌️

    From prize money to place names that sound like failed hedge funds, Stage 20 goes inland — and immediately trips over its own wallet.

    🦠 Typhoid Mary — cooking with consequences

    It’s travel with golf-induced wheezing, inland Northern Ireland, failed uprisings, burning TV sets, haunted mansions, and a brain that absolutely cannot be trusted.
