Diggers World is the official home of the archaeologist formerly known as Digger, Lukie, Port, Rasbutin, River, Popeye, Glenn, five times a night, Dad, Guru, Swimpy, Mum, Marje, Sandy, Durdle and sometimes even Mike……

It features a collection of photos of Digger and his friends as they undertake the “tortures” of life in the 21st century……

Wild Swimming

Want to know more about “Wild Swimming” (that’s rivers AND lakes, not naked swimming)?

Now’s your chance with individual areas/pages for:


Swim the Door:

Durdle Door is a sea arch near Lulworth, Dorset. Its one of those iconic landscape features and, even better, you can swim through it. The latter is known as Swim the Door (or its well known acronym STD). Some people do this once a year at a gathering in June. Some people do it more than once a year! Find out about some of these people via the following pages: Veterans, Artwork


Photography:

Auto-timer top tips, Auto-timer awards (year by year) and, of course,  self-photography (apparently known as selfies to some)

Note 2You will not see any flash graphics, or nudity (thank God), or even too much wit on this web site. If you have come to this site expecting these things PLEASE LEAVE NOW – it’s merely a collection of photos.
