This cache: Close to the church in Steeple Claydon where
I once played Joseph in a school nativity play. I had to stand for
the whole thing while Mary got a seat. It put me off religion for
life.
Biography: 1978 was another fun year of study at the Alan
Shaw Middle School. I got thumped by my big brother Adam quite a
lot, but this would stop when I eventually got taller and bigger
than him. Blakes Seven was on TV but it was known as Blakes
Three-and-a-Half in my house, as I wasn't allowed to stay up to
watch all of it.
Wider world: 1978 was the year of the jogging craze,
Greese, Superman the Movie and Midnight Express. The Boomtown Rats
and Kate Bush were big, as were singles with the success of 12"
discs. Atari 2600 was at the start of the 'home arcade game'
revolution - high-tech, yet with some stick-on wood effect
detailing. Grange Hill tackled issues and a certain J. Clarkson
joined Top Gear. Wonder Woman was flying her invisible plane and
The Generation Game with Larry Grayson was on TV too, while Simon
and Star Wars toys were all the rage. Number 1 on my birthday: Rat
Trap by the Boomtown Rats.
Where next: Pass the church, keeping it on your right,
with nice views in that direction before you reach it. Pass through
the kissing gate and follow the road (there is a pavement) towards
the start point of LB08 at Camp barn.
