The Walk North – Stage One

The Logic

The plan is on the 4th of July, I am going to Cornwall, again. To walk the coastal path from Marazion to Land’s end (stage one) and the Land’s end to St Ives (stage two) and do it in two days. I know it’s ambitious, but I have to push myself and try. This bank holiday weekend I thought I would give rehearsing it a try. In two stages, Sunday the 25th I would walk Enfield to Hertford and Monday the 26th walk from Enfield to Barrier park. Stage one was 17 .01 miles and relatively comfortable, stage two I knew would be at least 22 miles and, I was aiming for 25. I recorded 22.5miles on my watch and, that doesn’t include train stations etc. So about 23 and I am happy with that for a first attempt.

The first stage was quiet and uneventful to say the least, just the way I like it. Stage two meant I was ready for any interaction with the genpop. This came in the form of a lovely elderly Ghanian Lady who was taking her son on the cable car. She invited me after a good conversation to join them crossing the Thames. It was very windy and I started feel a little apprehensive but then I noticed her speaking in tongues and I thought we might be alright. from her belief alone.

I woke up with blisters and sore feet this morning, though I would say totally worth it. I don’t feel like I have done a lot or travelled far but, for a first attempt, I am in a small belief that I can do it.

Lastly, it is an attempt to use all of my retro kit from 2004, the very first adventure. The first stage has to be competed in jeans and I will be sleeping in a 20 year old tent.

The Hastings Walk 2025

This is not a hike podcast, more of an after thought or thoughts. When I was walking the night before, I didn’t manage to take my recorder out with me.

Recorded on my Tascam DR-40x, Edited on my Reaper Audio on my Raspberry Pi 5 8gb.

Originally publish on Spotify for Creators.

All is so so quiet…

I have at least attempted to create a blog and vlog post,s plus two new podcasts for this year. I just didn’t try very hard, I did manage to create a new youtube video for the ‘Pi’ concept I have created ‘The Pi_Verse’. I spent some money buying a new HQ camera module and put together a working camera for stills and video, plus I demonstrated it working as a vlog cam. A video that unsurprisingly is better on vimeo.com because youtube sucks. I am however addicted. So here I am without a podcast to share or photos as such, despite spending the past 3 weeks making things. How you ask? With my 3d printer that I have managed to wear out the mat and just bought a new one, so mu pointless prints have to be put on hold. I will list the prints I have made and whether or not I am still using them.

Design Success In_use
RPI 3b case Yes Yes
Cat x 3 Yes Yes
Bluetooth amp case x 2.5 No No
HQ camera case Yes No
Heart shape Yes Yes
Ghost character Yes Yes
Camera module Yes No

My 1 of 3 ghosts

I want to print a new HQ camera case for the cinepi project but I am waiting for my new mat to arrive. I attempted to print something today even though it has a small hole in the centre and it took ages and s few tools to remove the plastic after a failed print.

To alleviate my boredom and frustration of 3d printing, I designed my new logo or at the very least started the first draft which you can see on my from page. For positive reinforcement, I decided to go with a name and design that I love the most. Knowing full well people will pronounce Samhain as Sam Hain instead of salwin, in part my fault after creating a Halloween character of said name. I love the design and proper pronunciation of the name

There are other elements I want to add to the design so I am happy it’s a work in progress, plus my new trading name of ‘Spookarium Events’ but no logo as yet.

Give me back my socks

A pointless recording to start off 2025.
