Ghost Hunt at Valence House

I was lucky enough to participate in a ghost hunt at Valence house in Dagenham. I was both spooky and fun at the same time. I met some lovely people and I was put in their group and I think they were experienced investigators. There was around 50 people there and we were split into three groups and we each took a space in the house. We went to the basement first, then the attic and finally the main museum area last, then we were given free time to explore the house ourselves and I went back out with my group. We we allowed to use some the professional equipment, although I am not sure how well it worked.

I used my Tascam DR-40x to record the audio in the room and my OnePlus phone to take timelapse and videos.

It was my Christmas present, so I did really well this year.

How much… (update)

This is the update how well it’s going using the raspberry pi 5 as a main computer, also I have now added my pi 3b+ as an audio recorder into the mix. Pardon the pun. This is really the first step in reducing my computer output not my productivity. How much is a journey in getting the most out of a single board computer and using it both effectively and efficiently.

Mersea Island

I finally returned to Mersea Island as I had promised myself, the last time was a couple of weeks before the first lock-down. This time though I managed to make it round the whole island in an afternoon during daylight, I do believe it has something to do with the time of the year. There were a couple of minors for this podcast, the first being the failure of the recording as I was walking round and you will here this on the podcast, the second , as I started recording my OS app stopped recording my journey and concentrated on the recording the ill-fated audio. Not deterred, however, I would say it was and excellent start to the new series of ‘hikenpod’ adventures.

Mersea Island has a beach called Monkey Beach, I love this place!

Why is there a ‘hikenpod’ episode being published here, well, it is unlikely anyone will listen to here, as my site is really only for me and secondly this is a short blog as well, so this is how I get away with it. I will not be making a habit out of the cross over.

Thank you for coming on the journey with me.
