My wonderfully talented friend Blue organised a walk on Saturday on Hampstead Heath, taking us on an alternative journey through the area's history. It was fascinating - we heard stories about the Highgate Vampire (an incident from as recent as 40 years ago), the legend of Boudicca (pictured above) who apparently is buried under the mound in the middle of the heath, as well as a real life crucifix that happened in 1969.
The walk was also lead by Strange Attractor Mark Pilkington.
More information here and some Highgate stories here.
