It's 1899 and the 24-year old Winston is approaching the twentieth-century with little to his name but a shambolically unsuccessful election campaign.

From there, armed only with a map found in his father’s belongings, he began to walk St Michael’s Ley Line. Following the path of the sun from St Michael’s Mount to the coast of Suffolk he has been bewitched in Dartmoor, danced with Boudicca and, if we believe him, fought a dragon (or two). Now Paul’s here to tell you the story.
