    Inside India’s Most Exceptional Luxury Tiger Safaris

    The forest goes quiet. A langur calls from the canopy, dry leaves shift beneath unseen feet, and then between sal trees, a flash of orange and black appears. For a few breathless seconds, India’s tiger country belongs entirely to you. India’s Luxury Tiger Safari Is a Different Kind of Wild For travellers accustomed to the sweeping savannahs of Kenya, Tanzania or South Africa, India offers a very different safari rhythm. Here, the landscape is denser and more intimate. A game drive […]

    India Safari Holiday Tours: A Complete Guide to India’s Wild Side

    India's wildlife is not the wide-open savannah of Africa, and that is exactly what makes it so fascinating. Here, a safari can take you through sal forests, dry grasslands, bamboo thickets and wetlands where a tiger may appear without warning. For travellers planning an India safari holiday, the experience is about far more than spotting a Bengal tiger. It can include leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, crocodiles, hundreds of bird species and the landscapes and communities that surround […]

  5. The Tinker Experiment was a UK government policy (1940-1980) that forcibly settled Scottish Gypsy Travellers into substandard housing. No electricity until 2010.

  6. This sub-site, contains the text and pictures from the period around the early 1970′s to the late 1990′s. The years in which my tribe developed the gatherings around the country that became the Free Festival Circuit. ’New Age Travellers’, assorted hippies, punks, urbanites , festival goers and general people then found themselves labelled as the ‘Peace Convoy’. Quite central to this life was the gathering for the summer solstice at Stonehenge. [some say Glastonbury as well]. The authorities watching some of these developments with some alarm, became increasingly belligerent and attacked these gathering with some violence. One of the more famous examples was the attack on the Peace Convoy by 1600 policemen from 5 police forces on the Wiltshire / Hampshire border. It became known as the Battle of the Beanfield and it will never ….. I say never be forgot by many of us. The following few years got increasingly unpleasent with the force and application of increasingly oppressive law … leading to the Public Order Act 1986.
