Cornwall
A long time ago, in a land far way
at the edge of the kingdom, an idea
was conceived.
I was under the impression it was a
long way and it would take a long time.
Neither of these two concepts were true.
I took 5 days to complete the
50 odd miles. It was a good walk.
21 years later, I did the same
in two days, this is not that story.
The love affair started in 2002
When staying in St Ives, my
first official holiday as an adult.
I thought after seeing so many beautiful
places, I was inspired to walk the
South West coast path from Marazion
to St Ives. I arrived in the afternoon
at Penzance on August 14th a Saturday.
What I couldn't have known at the time
was I had started a long standing tradition with hiking
in Cornwall that continues to this day.
Something I have shared and passed on to
my Son and previous partners and friends.
I have started my 2026 adventure
but, there is a discussion and a booking.

Also there are a couple of podcasts.
'Greetings from the end of the kingdom'
& '5 nights in the south west'.
these are all part of the 'Hikenpod' podcast
on 'The Last Broadcast' channel.
By design, I wanted a website, I could upload
to and share information, a blog and photos
to. In 2004, that was a tall order really.
By comparision, data was a premium and slow,
images were huge. When I revisited my images
from back then, they are tiny by todays standards.
Now this site is different matter, 20 years later
I get the site I wanted, something I can
access on my smart phone, record and write.
In 2004, I was using the 1st generation windows
phone and I thought it was awesome.
I have just managed to get it working
again with the Last Broadcast number.
The technology is still stuck in the
early naughties but it will make a good
back up phone.
That is all for now.
