About

Hello and welcome. I'm Paul Whitewick, I seem to have developed a passion for making short films about the Landscape here in Britain. My passion for abandoned Railways and Canals soon spilled over into Roman Roads, ancient trackways and countless stories I can tell as I walk the Landscape. I have a degree in Environmental Science, but thats about it, other than a pair of decent walking shoes! I am a wannabee archaeologist who loves telling the stories I learn about week on week. So if thats your thing, click subscribe and I'll see you in the next video.

Video Description

So I came up with a new theory whilst out walking the other day. On what exactly the Roman Dodecahedron was for. I thought i would compare this with some of your ideas and share my thoughts. Back outdoors next week with BIGGUN.
