Over Hillridge en hoe Hillridge te bereiken

Hillridge deed tussen eind 2011 en begin 2016 verslag van nieuws op en rond de Utrechtse heuvelrug. Wegens het gebrekkige verdienmodel van Hillridge moest journalist Anthon Keuchenius de lokale pen in andere wilgen hangen en ging Hillridge in winterslaap.

De wilgen waarvoor Keuchenius nu schrijft zijn te vinden op abumelle.org, maar lokale opdrachten blijven interessant en welkom.

Keuchenius is te bereiken op abumelle[at]xs4all.nl of +31624612602
