Last night at Land's end till Sunday

A nice chilled day today and still some fun to come.

Finally made to Land's end and got pinned down in our tent by a thunder storm.

Time for more adventures in Cornwall

The all new episode from the other side of the north sea. It all started back in June 2014 and continues from this point onwards.

Walking from Cheshunt to Hertford East Then getting bumped for a train ticket. The weather was glorious and kind.

Dr Syntaxes head as I have discovered in recent years, is the furthest west you can stand in England. So for the third time this year, I headed west to walk to it. It was a last minute trip and I am grateful for the opportunity to spend so much time visiting my favourite place on Earth. It won't be the last for this year.

Here is the second and last part of the winter Cornish adventure. This section was the most quietest and fun to be fair. I found the beach 'Song of the sea' and little beach with a hole in a huge rock where I fell over. I was rewarded with seeing a Seal floating in the sea and they kept looking at me. Land's end was a wonderful sight with a dramatic skyline and winds that changed my ha...

I finally managed to make my way back to west Cornwall after an absence of 7 weeks and walk from Penzance to Land's end. The south west coast path was mostly mud at this point and during I had to ask myself if it was wise. I did really enjoy it. I was going to walk the next leg to St Ives, but due to the wind and the rain, I thought better of it. The walk took roughly 7 hours and was about 18...

In preparation for the next episode, I needed to walk some miles. St Albans is a beautiful city, so from my front door, I walked there. It rained, I got soaked, I am clearly shouting to get my voice over the road noise, I spent most of the hike besides roads, busy ones at that. The pay off was worth it, the journey home via home counties public transport was both easy and cheap. Not sure I would r...

Hello again from Montana, everyone! I finally got my butt out the door and onto the trail. The Swamp Dawg, Molly and myself got out on the southwest side of the Bridger Mountains in Bozeman/Belgrade Montana and went up Truman Gulch. Location information:  https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/custergallatin/recarea/?recid=81168   Photos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZESNiYpPzYoAfx7QA We have had such litt...

Join me as walk along a cold and wet Southend seafront as I just about make the deadline for this week's podcast. The walk was fun and quiet and recorder raised the volume of the traffic but there was hardly anyone around, a real treat. Recorded on the Tascamm DR-40x, edited on Reaper Audio on the Rasberry pi 5 using Ubuntu 23, monitored on Audio Technica headphones.

Listen in where I contradict myself on every sentence. So no podcast on the hike this week, a hike with no audio and me explaining why. I am getting ready for the next big hike in two weeks. So all the hikes until then will be local and covering old ground (pardon the pun). This is a lovely walk if you have time to do it and the pay off is exciting. Record on the Tascam DR- 40x edited on Reaper us...

This is my second trip in fours years to Mersea island in Essex, it is roughly 22km all the way round. It took me four hours to complete with only a couple of minor muddy areas and this winter time. I drove for an hour and 15 to get there and the weather was fresh but clear. The island was quite quiet but I did manage to speak to one person who was walking her dog along the beach. I am considering...

In this episode, I discuss my ideas about where Hikenpod Montana might go while testing out my two recording devices.  Tascam DR-44WL  Yamaha Pocketrak 2G.  I think, decidedly, the Tascam won out over the Yamaha in the sound department. In this episode's photos you'll see both of the devices sitting on my desk and my silent cohost, Babycat. She was very quiet, although she did a few laps a...

Marazion to Penzance in west Cornwall. I return to the place of the very first hikenpod and walk along the south west coast path in the wind with a cough. It's a bout a 3 mile mile on the flat, with some beach cover if you are interested. You get an amazing view of St Michael's mount and St Michael's bay, with a distant vista of Lizard point. The hike took a couple of hours and I wasn&...

hikenpod Montana: Pete's Hill, Bozeman with the Gallatin Valley Veterinarian Support Group Photos:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/dLKfcWzvaZ68yDFJA What a lovely morning with my family and the Gallatin Valley Veterinarian Support Group out on Pete's Hill in Bozeman, Montana. We did this hike just before Christmas, 2023.This is a great little hike that's almost right in town. You could walk...

Recorded on the hike to Land's End from Sennen cove on the 9th Jan 2024, in the dark and the freezing cold, under the very obvious cover of the milky way. Hikenpod is uploaded and published on Raspberry pi 5.

As stare down a excitingly long adventure list for 2024, I thought I would go over a brief recap and basic kit list for the first adventure next week on the 9th Janaury 2024. Hikenpod is uploaded and published on Raspberry pi 4.

This is the very last podcast podcast and episode of Hikenpod 2023. We will be back next year for series 9. Thanks for being with me on the journeys Hikenpod is uploaded and published on Raspberry pi 4.

I found a resevoir in the middle of Cambridgeshire and I missed an opportunity to walk round it covering 9 miles, so I have book marked it for another day. On a plus note I visited the Raspberry pi Store

The next stage in the hike n pod universe, travels from all four corners of an area. Today it's the City of London.

Short pod recorded and published whilst still on the hike.

Just before the festivities start

The final part of this summer's adventure, we cut it short due to the abnormal weather and I didn't fancy packing up in a storm.
