The midweek session from the school pick up from inside my car. Not much has changed since the last episode, this one is a little more moany than usual.

Another 'hikenpod' crossover...

This episode is the 'SO I' show. I started every section with that phrase, I have done my best to cut that out of the final recording.

This episode I walk from Stratford Olympic park to Moorgate station (regrettably) via Westminster bridge along the south bank.

There were a number of firsts for this journal thankfully, that made a rich experience. There was rum, noodles, bridges, friendly couples, rain and 18 miles.

Recorded on;

• Lenovo Tab K11 Plus
• OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite (on board mic)
• Tascam DR-40x
• OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite with a Shure Beta 57a

There was one small section at the Olympic park that I filmed, but I am not sure how I share it here with you.

WASSAIL WASSAIL WASSAIL!!!

The last of the events left over from the holiday season of 2025/ 26. This event was recorded at Forty Hall Vineyard, with warm apple juice and loud voices. I went alone as Lucas didn't fancy it this year.

Another episode from inside the car on the school pick-up. Waiting in the rain, again. It's becoming a recurring theme. One of those days when you need everyone to be on time and they're not, well your son is but the others aren't.

The 'Hikenpod' Crossover!!!

17th January 2026.

Another London Trip

This time west to east, with a little help from the trains. I travelled to Alexandra Palace and set about walking the old train route to Archway. Seeing some sights along the way.

• Highgate woods
• Parliament hill
• Primrose hill
• Regents park
• Hyde park
• Green park
• St James' park

Then Covent garden and Moorgate and home.

Fresh from a central London walk around Tower bridge into the west end. I went out today and walked the Woodland walk in an unimaginative way. It was muddy and wet but not too cold. I think I have outlined that I need to push the envelope now and not cover areas I have been. I seem to be visiting the same spots time and time again. This defeats the object of the journal series.

Recorded on a OnePlus Nord CE 3 lite, with a cheap usb mic, hence the poor quality, sorry.
