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

Whats it all about then?

Diggers World is a collection of images of Digger (thats Mike, Guru, Mum etc. to some of you) and friends as they undertake the tortures of life in the 21st Century.

Note 1: We wish to stress that there is no sponsorship of this page, however, if anybody wants to send Streaky Strips, Twiglets, Wombles (especially the one that is battery powered and nods his head while singing the “Remember You’re A Womble”), or any Glenn Miller merchandise, thats up to them.

Note 2: You 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.

The main topics are:

• Swim the Door: “Durdle Door” where else!
• Wild Swimming: Want to know about “Wild Swimming” (that’s rivers AND lakes, not naked swimming)? Now’s your chance with pages dedicated to “The Bare Essentials”, “Recent Swims” and of course the “Ultimate Wild Swimming Gazetteer” (now devided into England, Wales, Scotland and the rest of the world).
• Photography: Auto-timer top tips, auto-timer awards (year by year) and of course “Everything you wanted to ask about self-photography but were afraid to ask”
• The Important Things in Life: “Dance Tips”, “Glenn Miller”, Mark “the priest”, Wombles (temporarily removed). COMING SOON Surf Tips, Festivals
• Holidays: Lebanon, Syria, Scotland ( 2010 & 2011) and the all important A-Z of countries visited by a coward of air transport
• Weekend Breaks: 2011 and 2010
• The Blog: Recent news and updates to Diggers World
