To the last corner of the kingdom (part two)
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 hair style.
I shall return in a month or two.

To the last corner of the kingdom (part one)
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 miles on the path, taking me through some of England's best kept secret beaches.
I remember it being a lot harder from 2019, than it was this time. I am going to have another go later on in the year.
I had a lot to say on this podcast, so much so, that I had to split it up into two podcasts.
Enjoy part one.
Mark.

The Pilgrimage
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 recommend this one, it's only for those of you who are historically accurate.
I didn't take any photos.
Thanks for listening

hikenpod Montana Episode 3
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/ZESNiYpPzYoAfx7QAWe have had such little snow in the valley that I did this one in my boots instead of skis, skins or snowshoes. However,
there was quite a bit of snow up there, and this was before we just got
dumped on again (stay tuned: some actual skinning in future episodes
may actually be possible!) Molly and I got chilly, I realized I made at
least 3 significant errors in planning judgement, and we came back down.We ended up just under 5 miles, but you'll hear how deep the snow was with me crunching through it on the mic.I am certainly going to be more prepared next time and bring Molly's jacket!If you have other ideas about essentials I need to bring on my hikes, please let me know. I'd be grateful. Thanks for listening and we'll see you a little further down the trail.

The 11th Hour
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.

No hike n just pod episode
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.
