Yes indeedy. It’s your one-stop news-o-forum just in case you feel a burning need to keep up with what’s going on chez Self Towers. Actually, this is mainly where you’ll find the travel writing I’ve done for The Guardian, plus a few extra bonus things thrown in because you’re a nice person and deserving of that sort of thing.
For a one-stop shop of all my journoing and a photo of me looking upwards, pop over to Journalisted. Otherwise, when I remember and have the necessary patience to do so, I’ll slap a few links to my words of eternal verity below.

A history of the murky world of camping, as broadcast on BBC2. I’m on right at the start and then from about 48 mins, wild camping in January in the snowy Brecon Beacons with my friend Carl. The television crew, needless to say, spent the night tucked up in a pub in the valley. Available on the iPlayer from time to time – it seems to be repeated on BBC2 or BBC4 every six months.
