on his way to St. Abbs, sorry, New Asgard.

Karlovy Vary was meant to be a transit stop. Three hours between trains, and we found a geyser that throws 2,000 litres a minute nearly 12m up, throws a rainbow when the sun catches it, reads 1 µSv/h on the Radiacode, & used to clog its own outlet for thousands of years before blowing itself clear.

In 1906 a retired miner called Josef Prennig carried radioactive water down a mountain on his back, 40 litres at a time, to the world's first radon bathers. They called him Thunderbolt. Two years later they replaced him with a pipeline. New video: youtu.be/0h0qm3aqXHM

I've created a little blog to deep-dive into the topic of Radon Baths. I hope you enjoy! theuraniumhunter.co.uk/2026/09/26/b...

Me, my radioactive pants and a bag from Fannies emporium in Morpeth right in the heart of Czechia. What more could you want?

The Uranium Hunter @theuraniumhunter.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Right, this one has been a long time coming. Jáchymov, in the Czech Republic, is the world's oldest radon spa. The baths are a prescription treatment there, the health service pays for them, and the water is pumped up out of a working uranium mine. youtu.be/0h0qm3aqXHM

In Czechia, They Prescribe Radon as a Cure. And it was weird.

New Asgard has cracking geology. One more reason to check it out.

The Uranium Hunter @theuraniumhunter.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

On the channel we are admirers of all geology, and this example of soft/hard rock erosion in Turkey is just outstanding. And nothing to do with what it looks like.

The people of Jáchymov do brilliant fridge magnets. Translation: I survived the radon spa. Jáchymov Spa - where radon brings smiles.

A massive thank you to Radioactive Hunter from Prague who gifted myself and Mrs. UH two pieces of uranium 'slag' glass and the large radium-dialed clock, to add to one of my radioactive display cabinets Think i need a new one!

Season 3 of the channel starts with the most unlikely of items: a brown cardboard box, and a radioactive Nutella jar. Where's it taking me? To the home of radioactivity: Prague, Příbram and Jáchymov.

The Uranium Hunter @theuraniumhunter.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

no, not here. It's hidden away in tiny balls, uraninite and coffinite. Nothing else.

To answer why one corner of this Scottish island is radioactive, we followed the clues from the beach all the way to the summit. Here's 10 highlights from Part 2 of our Great Cumbrae adventure - I posted the first set a couple of weeks ago.

The Uranium Hunter @theuraniumhunter.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

We climbed 400ft to answer one question: why is this Scottish bay radioactive? Kames Bay gave us the clue on day 1. 22 stops. Two videos. One answer. And it was hiding in a crack that runs right through the island. youtu.be/bApyOaPx1a4 #Cumbrae #Radioactive #Geology #Uranium #Scotland #RockHounding

To accompany my latest YouTube video, I have created a blog. In it, we take a deep dive into the geological wonders of Cumbrae. But this is only half of it! Stay tuned for part 2 dropping very soon. theuraniumhunter.co.uk/2026/09/01/t...

Sneak peak from a recent explore - this one had a it all! Radioactive mines, waterfalls, mine dumps, collapsed faults and mysterious radioactive red rocks. Stay tuned for this humdinger.

When Amadeus first transferred from London to Broadway in 1980 the Broadway production starred Tim Curry as Mozart and Ian McKellen as Salieri and I would like to go back in time and watch that.

I love this movie and absolutely adore the soundtrack, it's 100% the best thing about the film. Shame it bombed and almost took a genre with it.

the hitchhiker analogy is such a beautiful one. The spheroids are in the old red sandstone.

Fieldwork for the Open University Geological Society Northumbria Branch took me back to #Amble this weekend. The Carboniferous coal measures south of the town, majestic sandstone ripples and an ancient forest hiding under the sand. Ten pictures, ten small pieces of deep time. @ougeolsoc.bsky.social

The curse of Sunderland Glass. Following on from the closure of the National Glass Centre, the museum at The Winters Gardens is closing for re-development. So it you want to get your Sunderland glass fix, watch my previous video: youtu.be/OxDl65uG4nU

In less than one month I will be at the radioactive twins of Prague & Jáchymov - cannot wait to take a radon bath, wave my geiger counter at Marie Curie's statue and experience the uranium glass mecca of AntiqueGlass.cz

I pressed the red button in a nuclear bunker. Then the simulation put me six miles from a Manchester blast with 14 days in a shelter. Mixed feelings about that one. Full film on YouTube: What Would You Do in a Nuclear War?

This popped up on my feed today, I was going to read it out on my channel but god it's awful. I just couldn't get through it. But if trashy pulp fiction with a splash of uranium and a hint of God is your thing, this can be yours for £26 on eBay. The Host Rock by M F Doner.

They were huge. Really heavy, limited. Built to detect the bomb, nothing else. This is what that looks like next to my Radiacode. Full video: What Would You Do in a Nuclear War?

We paid one last visit to the Creetown Rock & Gem Museum this month. Sadly, it is closing this summer after 40 years. Part museum, part shop, part tea rooms, this has been one of our happy places for a number of years. Sad to see it go - we wish the owners an amazing time in their retirement.

Tip of the day: met a couple at Tynemouth market who flea-market Prague 4x a year. They pointed me at U Elektry - one of Europe's biggest. 600 stalls, vintage Czech glass everywhere. UV torch + Radiacode packed for Czechia next month. Wish me luck.

And there's a chance it is radioactive.

We spent a wonderful day with Jen from Cabinet of Curiosities at the amazing Museum of Victorian Science near Whitby, North Yorkshire. Run by the wonderful Tony and Patricia, we were led into a room full of devices and gadgets - a steampunker's dream! www.museumofvictorianscience.co.uk

Picked this up at the North Pennines Mineral Expo - a bright green Torbernite crystal from South Terras, Cornwall's only radium mine. Cubic crystals visible under the microscope, and the Radiacode confirmed it's hot. #Torbernite #Radioactive #Minerals #NorthPennines #SouthTerras #Geology

Another rabbit hole to fall into. This time to work out how to make best use of my new microscope. Still, shiny radioactive crystals eh? Looks like something from The Andromeda Strain.

Strange seeing the Cheviots as a green blob, instead of a red one. I saw this at BGS HQ in all its glory. It's mightily impressive.

Cooler still, they also do nuclear enrichment.

The Uranium Hunter @theuraniumhunter.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

This one is even more bizarre, there is a fault (the great cumbrae fault) which splits the island and acts as a conduit. But here there are reduction spheroids; uranium-eating bugs which help to concentrate it.
