Not even the Pirates can hold me back.
I went to bed last night with a feeling that I’d had enough, not of Cornwall or Penzance but of being t/here now. I completed my walk, well half of the intended hike, 18 odd miles. Penzance to Land’s End via the south west coast path. It gave me a whopping 53000 steps, something I don’t remember having done before but I am sure I have. I am booked here for another day and there are some factors that have played on my mind.
It’s world book day and Lucas’ last at St Andrew’s, not that it is our thing, it his and Nic’s, I like to see the pics and I have taken him to school before. It has always been his and Nic’s thing. But, still I’m missing it, it wasn’t planned that way, I booked this in advance, so no way of knowing.
I have a limited budget, if I stay I am likely to spend more and I have done fairly well so far and I am not trying to prop up the Cornish economy at all.
My legs hurt, I like it a lot but they hurt and I have a whole day ahead of me, so what to do with painful legs, I can go for a short walk to Marazion and still feel like I’ve won the day.
Speaking of which, I am keen to get home and get on with my life, I realise, this works well with two nights away not three midweek.
I AM FEELING GUILTY!!! For leaving Lucas and going off.
I am feeling like I have stopped my routine I had worked hard on, to set up. I have a niggly feeling I won’t go back to it, not true I know and it’s silly but it is thought I have been having.
Annoyingly the Sun has come out this morning, could have done with that yesterday. Only to keep my trousers dry. Note to self buy hiking trousers, proper ones.
I also think I feel a little bit of a failure for not walking the ridiculous distance from Land’s End to St Ives today, that was the plan. I did explain in ‘hikenpod‘ episode 12 part 2, series 10, that is was a terrible idea for this time of the year and at my level of tiredness.
Lastly, there is a section of the A30 that beign closed tomorrow and it will increase my journey time, I would like to pick Luicas up from school tomorrow without hassle and be ready for work in the evening.
The makeshift podcast of …
Recorded on my tablet with my USB mics, (glad They’re good for something)
Mark Riley – underground at the YHA Penzance in the dining hall because there isn’t anywhere else to sit and my back hurts.
For the first time really, this is an ANDROID thing, really need to up my Pi game for travelling. ANDROID is kicking it right now!
This is the other recording made on the Tascam.
Because I thought I deleted the one above.
