In the current pandemic of COVID, a topic that remanins topical, is the impact of human activities on the environment, On a daily basis content from scientific research percolates into public discussion, raising a global focus on awarness of the degradation of marine environments. Plastic pollution has galvanized public focus, initiating mass action to reduce consumption of single use plastics and implement reusable alternatives. Though attention and research is focused on commercial fishing activities, little research has been conducted on the contribution that snagged recreational shoreline fishing tackle makes to ghost fishing. To address the impact of recreational fishing on biodiversity the Strandloper Project is studying ghost fishing and reef damage caused by shore based activities. A wide range of species regularly wash up on beaches in the Garden Route, especially after storms and extended periods of strong southerly winds. To conduct a safe rescue and to ensure the best handling of the stranded marine species, it is important to contact organizations that are trained to do so. There is a comprehensive list of the organizations in the Garden Route which you can view on our Marine Stranding page. Initially the objective of the Strandloper Project was to clean up snagged recreational fishing tackle from the reef at Gericke's Point. From our initial clean up we soon realized the extent of the problem and the complex threat to marine biodiversity that the snagged tackle posed required more research directions. The array of rigs that included steel tracers, floating hooks and the incredible lengths of lost fishing line, we set out to research ghost fishing, reef damage and entanglements caused by it. Based in the Garden Route, South Africa, our clean up dive program is arranged on a volunteer basis with dives scheduled when sea and weather conditions are ideal. The Topnaar Community Foundation.

He enters an alternative way of being by evoking a way of speaking, and by extension a way of thinking, that comes from the past. Even as a Cheshire-man, Buckley has a quasi-shamanic sense of his environment and the forces at work around him. Following his arrest, the transportation ship is a jumble of speech-registers and dialects: the journey, we sense, isn't just taking him to another continent. The fulfilment comes when he is adopted by the aboriginal people, who recognise him as a Dreamer, someone capable of mastering the spirit world which is at the heart of their experience. All this is conveyed in the symbolic language of shamanic consciousness. Finally, he returns home, but remains attuned to the spirit world and finds its presence in Cheshire, where he continues his rituals, dreams and dances. The closest writer I know to Garner is Ted Hughes. This is crow poetry become a novel. Jan 20, Veronica rated it really liked it Shelves: fiction. I was spurred to read this by The Voice That Thunders. Garner put his heart and soul into this novel. It draws on his eternal themes of loops of time, myth, identity, spirituality, but it's much harder work for the reader than his nominally children's books. There's no hand-holding by the author -- you are left to figure out for yourself what the Aborigines are doing. It's not a long book, but I got a bit bogged down on the Aboriginal section, which started to feel too worthy and Noble Savage-lik I was spurred to read this by The Voice That Thunders. It's not a long book, but I got a bit bogged down on the Aboriginal section, which started to feel too worthy and Noble Savage-like. But it was redeemed by the final section, when William returns home and blends his two worlds. The real William Buckley didn't do this, but it makes perfect sense in the novel. Perhaps the ending is too neat, but it's beautifully and poignantly executed. Hesitating between three and four stars, I ended up with four, but three and a half would be more accurate. It reminded me a little bit of Riddley Walker -- except it's not nearly as good! William Buckley, transported to Australia in the s, escapes, intending to walk north to China, then turn left for England and home, and end up spending thirty years amongst Aboriginals, taken in as a resurrected warrior and becoming a beloved and respected holy man. He eventually returns home. And that's the story, and a strange, powerful and beautiful story it is, but with Garner it's the language. The words and folk dances of Buckley's home, the babble of dialects and cant on the ship, the William Buckley, transported to Australia in the s, escapes, intending to walk north to China, then turn left for England and home, and end up spending thirty years amongst Aboriginals, taken in as a resurrected warrior and becoming a beloved and respected holy man. The words and folk dances of Buckley's home, the babble of dialects and cant on the ship, the precise and evocative language of the Aboriginals that reflect a whole different way of being. The language represents community, gang, tribe, and Buckley is initiated into each and is subjected to injustice, privation brutality and the ravenous incursion of colonialism, but the language lives on in Bukley, as does the Dreaming, fused into a transcendental final Dance at the climax of the book. It's an incredible, beautiful, funny, mind-expanding, heartbreaking book. Garner working at the height of his not inconsiderable powers. There really is nobody else like him. Dec 28, Geoffrey Gudgion rated it it was amazing. Alan Garner's Thursbitch was such a delight that I opened Strandloper with rare excitement. I was not disappointed. Garner writes with brilliant, bare precision, even if he can demand much of his readers. As the cover tells us, the essence of the plot is the true story of William Buckley, a Cheshire bricklayer who was unjustly deported to Australia in , escaped, and lived for 31 years with the Aborigines. Garner weaves together Cheshire folklore and Aboriginal spiritualism in separate melodie Alan Garner's Thursbitch was such a delight that I opened Strandloper with rare excitement. Garner weaves together Cheshire folklore and Aboriginal spiritualism in separate melodies that blend to create a single harmony. This beautiful and moving tale is not always an easy read; old Cheshire dialect is as obscure as Aboriginal words and the reader sometimes has to look for meaning in the context rather than the words themselves. In a way, it is like looking at a landscape through a stained glass window; there are layers of beauty that reward the eye that is willing to concentrate. Garner says, in The Voice That Thunders, that a writer has to have a sense of the numinous. That single word probably sums up Strandloper. Jun 10, Gail Nyoka rated it liked it. Will Buckley, a young country man, finds that the practice of an ancient rite gets him sent to a penal colony. He escapes to live the next three decades of his life immersed in the lives and dreaming of the aboriginal peoples. The story of Will is also the story of the links between the spirit keepers of two cultures. The book is set in the time period when much of the magic of England has been confined to folk customs, which are being suppressed by the authorities. This suppression and oppressio Will Buckley, a young country man, finds that the practice of an ancient rite gets him sent to a penal colony. This suppression and oppression is extended to other peoples all over the globe. North Americans unfamiliar with the regional dialect may find some of the language difficult. I would suggest letting the meaning filter through the flow of the language. This is a remarkable work. A book unlike any other, Garner is a true artist a poet more than a novelist. A difficult book I don't pretend to fully understand it all. Set partly in Garner's beloved Cheshire and partly in Australia, each effecting the other in subtle ways, in that it reminded me of "Red shift" or the later "Thursbitch" but here rather than previous events affecting different people across time, the story is wholly about William Buckley and his quite separate lives as a Cheshire peasant and an Australian abor A book unlike any other, Garner is a true artist a poet more than a novelist.

The story is loosely based on fact William Buckley did exist, he was transported to Australia as punishment for a minor offence, he did escape and spend over thirty years with the aborigines. The book however is largely fiction, not that that makes any difference to it's quality. Mar 25, TrumanCoyote rated it it was ok. More a schematic than an actual story.

From the descriptions of the plot that I had seen this looked like the one that would appeal least to me, but most its reviewers were producing glowing reports — and they were right. It is certainly one of his top three books. I combines his common theme of overlapping time though in this case more of a loop of time with his always detailed research to create an intriguing tale. Nov 17, John rated it it was amazing. This is definitely Garner's weirdest book and that is saying a LOT! Sep 30, Charles rated it liked it. The command of various kinds of slang, accent, and dialect by this author was amazing -- and uncompromising: no mercy for the reader.

I think it's extraordinary. It's a series of initiations, through the medium of language - and takes you on a journey through the true, arduous heart of human identity.

Alan Garner OBE born 17 October is an English novelist who is best known for his children's fantasy novels and his retellings of traditional British folk tales. His work is firmly rooted in the landscape, history and folklore of his native county of Cheshire, North West England, being set in the region and making use of the native Cheshire dialect. Born into a working-class family in Conglet Alan Garner OBE born 17 October is an English novelist who is best known for his children's fantasy novels and his retellings of traditional British folk tales. Born into a working-class family in Congleton, Cheshire, Garner grew up around the nearby town of Alderley Edge, and spent much of his youth in the wooded area known locally as 'The Edge', where he gained an early interest in the folklore of the region. Studying at Manchester Grammar School and then Oxford University, in he moved to the nearby village of Blackden, where he bought and renovated an Early Modern building known as Toad Hall. His first novel, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen , was published in A children's fantasy novel set on the Edge, it incorporated elements of local folklore in its plot and characters. Garner completed a sequel, The Moon of Gomrath , but left the third book of the trilogy he had envisioned. Turning away from fantasy as a genre, Garner produced The Stone Book Quartet , a series of four short novellas detailing a day in the life of four generations of his family. In his subsequent novels, Strandloper and Thursbitch , he continued writing tales revolving around Cheshire, although without the fantasy elements which had characterised his earlier work. In , he finally published a third book in the Weirdstone trilogy. See this thread for more information. Books by Alan Garner. Related Articles.

This is not to say that I appreciate any less a story which is in large part about the magic of words. But Garner's 'wise fools' are, in a way, as mythical as the folkloric legends he studies. The bittersweet romance of the story, with Buckley being sustained by the token his sweetheart gave him, and his dream of returning home to his true love, is heartbreakingly effective. The truth, of course, is that Buckley never returned to England nor was he ever so naive as to think that he would walk home through China. But it makes a good tale; and rings true, in the way that folk tales can often be more true than history. Aug 30, Ade Bailey rated it it was amazing Shelves: fiction. Apart from reading some of Garner's books to classes of kids many decades ago, have not looked since. Chance put it in my hand. Wonderful at every level. You have to be engaged and hear the text. Hear the words, the dialect, the music, the animality and sounds of a myriad nature. You have to be alert to, to hear, an intense authorial voice that pulls together in what is a very short book vast sweeps of history and space. You need to go down in the convicts' quarters, follow the sea imagery, Apart from reading some of Garner's books to classes of kids many decades ago, have not looked since. You need to go down in the convicts' quarters, follow the sea imagery, the rivers and streams, the bushland and plains, verdancies and aridities, fire and growth. Paganism and Christianity, time-loaded and timelessness, the routine quotidian of human injustice and fun in causing pain, love, togetherness, aloneness. It's a palimpsest. You have to try to match the author, and be aware of it at every level. Jun 16, Cooper Renner rated it it was amazing. Strandloper is a masterwork from one of the English language's most important writers. Garner is far more significant than our literati have yet realized. Oct 16, Robert Wechsler rated it really liked it Shelves: british-lit. I can certainly say that it is a singular reading experience, and for that I am greatly appreciative. Alert and accepting, letting oneself go with the flow, wherever the author takes you. Apr 11, Jim Brennan rated it it was amazing. I don't know that I'm impartial - I'm a couple of years or so younger than Garner, not a classicist, and I just remember him at school. Old Mancunians will know what I mean. I also saw him play Antony with Dudley Moore as Enobarbus. Alderley Edge I don't know all that well - I come from a little further down the Bollin valley. I've just read - backwards - "The Voice that Thunders", with a good deal of unexpected emotion. If you read it that way round, you may think you know a bit about "St I don't know that I'm impartial - I'm a couple of years or so younger than Garner, not a classicist, and I just remember him at school. If you read it that way round, you may think you know a bit about "Strandloper" before you read it. I've only come to both books a quarter of a century late, and I've just read the opening chapter of "Strandloper" for the first time. I suppose, as a result, I did know a little beforehand. But none of it blunted the power and the portent of the opening pages, or concealed their roots. I'm afraid Garner is the real thing. So much so that the Nobel Prize for Literature would I hope will mean nothing to him. The man who could write about that, as deftly and deeply as he did, has become the craftsman his ancestors were. That is worth any number of Regius Professorships. This books showcases Garner's fascination with language, with the incomprehensible, with the direct experience of mythology. It was fascinating reading, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it. Oct 19, Sarah rated it it was amazing. Just wow. You don't so much read Strandloper as immerse yourself in it and let it push and pull you about. It's familiar Garner, right enough, with added metaphysical transcendency or a bit bonkers, if you prefer. It's not a book you'll forget in a hurry. Sep 27, Vishvapani rated it it was amazing Shelves: fiction. What a book: a short shamanic epic that is utterly without pretension. Garner's novels are almost all about one place - his part of Cheshire - and their scope comes from his exploration of what he calls in Boneland 'Deep Place': a sense that the past is present, and that ancestors who once lived there are linked spiritually with those who live there now. Strandloper finds a way to journey away from Cheshire through the story of William Buckley, seemingly a real person who lived in Cheshire at What a book: a short shamanic epic that is utterly without pretension. Strandloper finds a way to journey away from Cheshire through the story of William Buckley, seemingly a real person who lived in Cheshire at the end of the Eighteenth Century, was transported to Australia, escaped and lived with the native Australians, becoming a holy man. Eventually, as white colonisation spreads across the continent, he returns home. It's a simple enough story, and it's a short book, but Garner's writing is unique and his approach is unlike what you find in all but a few historical novels. He has always been a master of brevity, of terse, Anglo- Saxon diction and sometimes of dialect. Here, that style lends itself to an impressionistic evocation of Buckley and his world that takes you not just into another time, but into another kind of consciousness. He enters an alternative way of being by evoking a way of speaking, and by extension a way of thinking, that comes from the past. Even as a Cheshire-man, Buckley has a quasi-shamanic sense of his environment and the forces at work around him. Following his arrest, the transportation ship is a jumble of speech-registers and dialects: the journey, we sense, isn't just taking him to another continent.
