Michael Turner is a semi-retired secondary school supply teacher of PE and humanities who founded The Drake Exploration Society on 9 November 1996 at the Golden Hind Chair in the Bodleian Library Oxford, England. Since 1980, Michael has documented pictorially the life and voyages of Sir Francis. Two of his illustrated lectures addressed Britain's largest lecturing body, The Ashridge Circle and the illustrious Royal Geographical Society. Michael's work and desire to locate Drake's Cophin of Lead, attracted much regional, national, and international media coverage. This culminated in a BBC2 documentary that he called In Drake's Wake and was screened 400 years after the death of Sir Francis. Michael continues to photograph Drake locations and has embarked upon documenting the life of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. He is now seeking a publisher for his manuscripts on Brunel and Drake. Michael's videos reflect his other interests at home and abroad.

'Taming' Monco was a protracted affair because he had a partner. They used to agitate each other when competing for food, Then on 21 July 2023, they presented me with their baby who I named Marsha. She was easy to tame and entice into the kitchen. The parents eventually drove her away to find her own territory. Monco is now single and has succumb to being 'tamed.'
The 3-Degree West Longitude Line Crosses Burnham-on-Sea Esplanade

Burnham-on-Sea shares the 3 degree west longitude line with Timbuktu in Mali which I visited in 2000. We are 12 minutes behind Greenwich or GMT. I find this geographical knowledge fascinating. The line crosses the Esplanade at the Hovercraft Rescue Station and runs along the beach. This should be new information for the local residents.

From 1841-45 Brunel began to build a railway but turbulent Italian politics, bureaucracy and constant interference caused him to withdraw. Although he did not build the line, I wanted to ride the rails in his wake and see more of his world. Since the video was recorded, I learnt that the line ascended the east bank of the River Polcevera on what remains as the local line that passes through man...

Not many admirers of Brunel know that he was involved in building two lines in Italy. Every line is electrified which limits the aesthetics of photography. Our in-shot positioning could have been better, notwithstanding, I hope you find the content of interest.

Few visitors to Egypt know of this far-flung town in the south-east corner of this vast country. It was a true delight to be far from the cities and thousands of tourists that hug the course of the mighty River Nile. The Red Sea coast is worth exploring.
