I’m deep in the weeds of my first book, coming in Spring 2027, but in the meantime I’ve been turning some of the research trips into short films that have proven surprisingly popular on YouTube. Here’s the latest, in which I trek to the site of HS2’s ‘Bat Tunnel’ in Buckinghamshire, a journey that proved far harder - and more perilous - than I could have imagined. Enjoy!

Thanks for reading The Value of Nothing! This post is public so feel free to share it.

I hope you enjoyed the film - I’m in the final months of book work so long-form posts will return again with a bang in the summer. In the meantime, thanks for you patience and do please like and subscribe to the YouTube channel as I’ll be doing more of that too, and the support is incredibly powerful in educating the algorithm….<br>Thanks for reading The Value of Nothing!
