BBC Chronicles progs from the 70's, Henry Lincoln, Rennes LC and a follow up about Bornholm with Erling Haagensen!

 A youtube post of the three progs. done by Henry Lincoln about Rennes Le Chateau, and a fourth vid about the effect of The Da Vinci Code on the village, but eventually gets down to the geometry HL found , David Woods finds, and Erling Haagensens work on Bornholm and eventual contact with HL. Fabulous set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x976Z_5jv7Y&ab_channel=AshramsofIndia.  I'll post on facebook also, as the link there may be automatic!

From Vatersay to Lewis(Calanais/Callanish), a wee BBC prog.

 As described elsewhere in this blog, in the PUC posts, (P[reston Unicorn Cross), the triangle which incorporates the Imperial/English yard system, 36 inch, and the Scottish Ell system, 37 inch, and has as a connecting short side, which runs from Flodagh/Barra to Calanais/Callanish in Lewis, this wee prog appeared on the Beeb website today, describing the incredible scenery of the outer Hebrides: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5Bt5znZshT0ZFwB9zvgvLq8/exploring-the-extraordinary-beauty-of-the-outer-hebrides.  Well worth a look!

 Henry Lincoln Chronicle ; BBC; 1979.

I never actually saw this programme when first broadcast, as I was living in Holland in 1979.  But 3 years later HL published Holy Blood Holy Grail with his co-authors Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh!  Here he introduces the pentagonal geometry he found in the area round Rennes Le Chateau, which I eventually picked up on and the majority of this Blogspot is devoted to!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bYKaXJVt6k&ab_channel=HenryLincolnSpeaks

 Over the years, one topic keeps cropping up!  Who defined the foot!!!  24,901.461 miles is the equitorial circumference, according to my request of Google, so lets go with it for now!!! There are 5280 feet in a mile, so the (EC) is (24,901.461 times 5280=131,479,714.08 feet.)  now, there are 360 degrees in a circle, for very logical reasons, so 1 degree is 365,221.428 feet!  There are 365.242 days in a solar year!. This is a 0.999944 correlation, or a 99.99544% if multiplied by1000!!!!!!  So, WHO, (and WHEN)?   measured the earths circumference, as accurately as NASA does today and why is it so IGNORED by the scientifc community!  The answer is never answered, but it aint the measure of some 'KINGS' foot! (Pull the other one its got bells on it!)  This and other anomalies have been taking my attention for the past few years, and (swallowing beer).  We really have been lied to, or ignored, or fed some religous stories!  We most definitley are not the fitrst. All over the planet stuff crops up which proves this, never mind the megalithic structures we can not replicatewith all 'OUR' technologies!

it's been a long time!

just a little note to myself to get back to work on this 'blog'!  Too long I have been absorbing stuff on youtube, Google Earth and a bit of re-reading!  A liking for beer and football, Scottish politics since the referendum in 2014, and chess, which has become a bit of an obsession!  Driving around Edinburgh over the years, seasons changing and so on.  Technology, phones and such leaving me a question as to how to proceed with all this stuff.  A couple of equinoctal sunsets are most relevant, one from the Fa'side with the sun setting behind ArthursSeat, a spring equinox in 2018, and one the 2019 autumn equinox, setting behind Calton Hill from the Portobello Road, in line with the Scottie corner although my phone camera is not very good and the suns light burns out the columns of 'Edinburgh's disgrace' which can normally be seen through the Jock's Lodge gap. The first two are of March 2018, form the Fa'side ridge the sun going down behind A. Seat.  The second two of the Jock's Lodge sunset.  The second shows Arthur Seat in context.  At least getting going again!!!

The geometry I have found and corroborated was mostly done on Ordnance Survey maps, the 1:25,000 series especially.  This programme is the story of these maps and their accuracy.  Wonderful programme, and I am much indebted :http://bbc.in/1gaihq1  OK you may have to copy the link and paste in a search thingy, the link ain't live for some reason!? - 20/2/17 ach, the prog not available now!

May 1st 2015 walk - Pilrig House to Holyrood Park

After a year long hiatus, during which the Referendum on Scottish Independence September 18, 2014, and the following Genereal Election May 7th, 2015 both occurred, I got a second-hand Olympus EOS camera with fish-eye lens, and this walk was my first outing with it.  It was a beautiful sunny day and the blossom was at its best.  I walked from a friends house near Pilrig House heading toward Arthur Seat area and Holyrood Park, past Pilrig Church to Holyrood Palace, and the 'face' in the Crags which I mentioned many times previously.  A flowering cherry to start:





Pilrig House:



It would be nice to get a photo from the window in the last of these!  The first line I found in the landscape geometry goes from this house directly through Pilrig Church towards Holyrood:





and across the road from the church is the Boundary Bar, for a few years City Limits but back to the original name:




This spot was found to be a major point in the Edinburgh grid previously described.

A walk along Albert Street and up Easter Road with the Crags beyond and the church at the top also part of the grid to Abbeymount and the Turret, one time a pub now a cafe:





And one of the main reasons for the walk was to get this picture:



depending on how high the new building ends up this view may be lost.




and down under the railway bridge to Holrood:





nice gates but dos anyone see what I see beyond?  Later it 'may' become apparent, lol.  Walking on is a fine unicorn which I use in the header above:








IR5 = King James 5, of Scotland,

and one of the Abbey ruins as we go:



Just round the corner to the Parliament, Dynamic Earth and Sailsbury Crags:



and a first glimpse of the gorse in bloom!

walking into the park and something I have seen for a few years now, but continues to force itself  into my perception and is a integral point in the geometric grid of Edinburgh:




I wonder often how many see it, especially the MSP's sitting gazing out of their windows.  Depending on the time of day and the light it is more or less apparent, but usually recognizable when once seen especially at this distance.  Walking on towards it:





during the referendum campaign and the recent General Election many gatherings where held there and I also wondered how many folk saw this.  The Radical Road slopes up left to right just below the feature.  In fact two people can be seen approaching the feature, giving a sense of scale!



and a couple more with some blossom:




and up the afore-mentioned Radical Road, built by unemployed Paisley Weavers in the early 1800's.  Unemployed due to their radical beliefs, hence the name.  A work scheme proposed by Sir Walter Scott.  The story of the 'radical' weavers and the 'Martyr's' who were found guilty of sedition and transported to the 'colonies',  Gerrard Palmer Skirving Muir and Margorot, commemorated on the Martyr's Monument in the Old Tolbooth Cemetry, the obelisk which can be seen from the North Bridge and Jeffrey Street.  A great song by Adam MacNaughton and sung superbly by Dick Gaughan on his Redwood Cathedral album tells of Thomas Muir of Huntershill, who was transported fourteen years, escaped and died in France:


the Martyr's Monument is to the left, Nelson's Monument is centre and the Old Tolbooth jail and St Andrews House to the right.  Below is the Radical Road:




this is the feature up close, looks like nothing from here:


and a couple of views back down the 'line' through the Palace and a few shots of the Parliament and Calton Hill:




back down the road and further into the park Arthurs Seat comes into view:





some of the gorse blossom:












St Margaret's loch:



St Anthony's Chapel with a bit if fish-eye with a contrail:



and lastly spotted in the carpark, remember this was a week before the election!  And Yes I voted SNP:


fabulous day, a nice walk and my 'new' camera!
