In many ways Jorvik Stilten could be a veteran resident of Seven
Dials, but in fact he only arrived recently - as editor of the Nordic cultural
newsletter. He is also a practicing chiropractic, and researches the coccyx. In
humans and other tailless primate (since Nacholapithecus) the coccyx is the
remnant of a vestigial tail, but it’s not entirely useless. Together with
the the ischial tuberosities and inferior rami of the ischium it is
part of the weight-bearing tripod structure which acts as a support for
a sitting person. The ischial tuberosities will play an important part in our
story, but meanwhile events start on New Year’s Day, when the Residents assemble for
the annual Winter Trek across the Downs.
