(winter I am limited not due winter-blues all the rest seem to suffer, but merely practicalities such as below 5 degrees C it's not easy to concentrate on simple themes, never mind write very much... so one has to go into winter mode and partially shut down, but it's more interesting than that though that's not part of the 'landlope')
From early february this year a very necessary last ever month of landloping was in fact required.
Last 'ever' sounds like some psychodrama, not at all merely the end of a long long road had a hump in it.
But is complete - in about 15 audios usually waffled as i landlope.
STill to add in here.
And only has good energy.
But...until yesterday i didn't think it may be possible to encounter someone at least partly in the same mode
Maybe to 'save' her.. life? health? sanity?
None of my business but i can smell via my radar as i told her a ... someone not at one with who they had to become (back then, not now..i know authentic now!) ...and even 'process' those mistaken innocent years... and who is walking to power on through the utter swamp of cant and vanity everything is...especially her once profession - but one of many...
And yes.. I am ultra intellectual of the development of concepts such as "PTSD."..
... every cell in the body refreshes every 2 years or if brain cell 7...
the Gabor Mate type traps (for his own youtube advrev benefit) of all these 'labels' is horrendous.. trauma ptsd...
etc
i do not think REALLY license people to be free
(all we want! surely)
They may temporarily give relief (or excuse to RIGHTLY claim sick pay or early retirement) after a terrible experience or exhausting period attempting to do good work and discovering it impossible...but in time we evolve through all - if i can ANYone can... ...and i wonder if the label-traps are not quite counter productive medium term
as my other site riffs upon somewhat cryptically merely as i rev up to rewrite things more sanely and openly, soon...even if the liminal (correct definition: surfing the choppy waters of the 'boundary layer' for example between the upper reaches of atmosphere and dead space above) insane version is FAR FAR more human and fun.... and alive. Cos it is life one needs to find how to live...on.
Cos unless we laugh at it all... there is no hope... even some extremely repressed ex public school boys with i am quite sure multiple 'personality disorders' (BPD .. knew when they tried to changed the world with their Monty Python...
US...we are the joke.....
DAMN HER!
this excellent chat with a great mind Fleischman...or goodish describes (THE SEX STUFF IS CLICKBAIT) how in her work she sees major 'borderline personality disorder' increase among women she states...sexistly... from nine i know it is mentoo...
but now stuck behind paywall when over a year it was free on her original pod site... even Meg has BPD
which in fact is MERELY an inability to operate fairly rationally much of the time (or ever MEAN WHAT YOU SAY)...
And is usually present in anyone who had a fucked up childhood with lots of confusion - taking a decade or more to understand then slowly rise above...
And i believe is the only useful term for most 'behavioural' issues from compulsion addiction to most 'mental illness'...
And in fact in good old Yankee terrorist way (they started to do in DSM 20+ years ago) all these terrifying sounding labels (REAL science also states this - hard edged 'diagnoses' words actually cause serious negative mindbodily stuff in fgact cause earlier death on average according to some recent stats research)
really traumatise you!!!
mindbodily
i prefer nice bubble-word, for 'BPD' perhaps the best simple label : discombobulation
and in time as long as you dont watch gabor or all the other fey failed prostitutes of...... only themselves... you can bounce your way through and on.... eventually.
sexist Diana " real explosion of BPD mainly among American women.." ...wrong... it's just as mantoo
And it takes two to tango anyway...
if like me your only religion is NEVER paying for anything, here it is for free
and i do everything for free such as it has been on my to do list a year to listen again and get some good quotes out. (and juxtaposing them against my real library of real evolutionary everything.... Gould: " hmmm..its all a bit fluffily complex and maybe we are completely wrong" sexy Dawkins " It ..IS [cos my computer says it will be]"
but NEVER trust a yank theyre worse than brits with their smart new words "civilisational" ugghhhhh... nor can they say 'less is more' nor think that 'disgust' is all in the mind... and a cultural mindbody matter ... and both are plastic. Like your toothpaste; As long as you don't watch the holocaust of Gabor movies with his film star act telling you he has all you ever needed to know...so as you can blame something else, out of your 'control' ... rather than..
....doing what is next.
Clean the bogs for a living, cos you want to, and it is extraordinary how quickly ones mind alters...no drugs involved.
And all yanks cannot read the great writers whom even 30 years ago were huffing and puffing over the 'twins studies' being very problematical....
Because they are obsessed with what next rather than learning about what we really are.... a classic fatherless child of a nation.
Except " it took several years of stalking to marry him.." uggh if she weren't taken i would have gone back to uni to learn how not to think just to get credentiallated so as to....
LANDLOPE remains back on track now - just this wonderful summer - tales of........especially as i have a copy at last of their awful Path....
Landlope from 2010 wasn't really 'landlope'. It was more to persist... Hide to some extent and persist. Being living-dead.
Walkers - hills walkers - from 2020 all around my old patch around The Black Mountains, do not do hyperbole. Living dead is not an overstatement.
(stoically would be an inappropriate word - there is living dead and chin up.. they are different)
Moving 10 miles in 2013 - to a most reclusive spot, though with a sidekick ( a small literary novel in and of itself alone) it became crawl back to life bit by bit..
2015 but 17 really from that january it became something new - alone from January 16 there was purpose, but into 17 it was about one thing only, and the fact of the matter is that ALL 'walkers' are ALLways pro EU - internationalist...
So, up in the hills around Herrock hill (on Offas Dyke path where i lived) , in a second full 'grief' in a decade i began a 'purpose': Though usually i would only encounter one walker every other day, i would strike up conversation about their REAl feelings about 2016...
To chronicle opinion and also find fellowship...affinity... fellow good spirit.
Despite them..(down below in the valleys - West herefordshire particular BREXITY dinosaur mentality...i could not even share my lament as the local bully boys would sneer)
And thus i began a planned 'chronicle' of those conversations on the hills... with walkers often walking the whole of The Dyke.
But 2020 came along and...
Living so far aside it made no difference to my own life in fact i adored the quiet and that year became fitter than i had ever been in my whole life - many more km walking a week... all year. And the next...
But...and this is what i was waiting for.
Landlope ..is aside... the whole point is one is momentum energised (no not by 'journey') by...
It is not being dragged down by mere mortal moaning ways nor concerns...
But why bother achieving that mode? What is the point. To merely achieve meditative goodmind and great fitness balance and endurability..is selfish.
I am a silly fool who..
Well lets just say that i think one of the best movies this century is the French film Intouchable a ridiculously 'life affirming' film.
And my favourite book, Georgie girls Silas.. again - life AFFIRMING...
(many good European literture books can be found at leftovers2022.blogspot.com
DONT LOOK IF YOU JUST FOUND ME..or i found you. Thing is...
landlope was always TO persist for a reason..if a miracle happened, and...
But there was no way it could.. the odds were literally one in a million... and i don't believe in fairy tales or Disneyland... and long ago lanlope in the persist mode was to entirely accept the WORST that life could dish up... accept it and face up to it in its worst version. Which was almost inevitable.
But... just this last month. In fact last fortnight...
let's just say i don't like books when people die at the end.. even if that is reality.
But... now something that i KNEW was unfixable, is.. (there is a last page elsewhere that has the story if the bristol ladies nose in email me for it.. if you want)... you the reader or maybe it needs to be multi 'media' can actually hear it...fixed.
But there is a twist..and it is even better than Intouchables..i know that..i know culture.
Good for me.
But only today this dusk it occurred to me i need one last chapter.
A chapter actually for me...
I know i can write a better book than Richard Maybe or Helen Hawk Macdonald...
And really do know good poetry.
Can even write some occasiionally.
But i need one thing more - somehow to weave in someone else's story into this...
I thought it was her in fact (pic today)
But i guess not...
today i met a woman who knew of my favourite word - saudade..
But the REAl meaning (i have done much research) is hiraeth+
my first 7 years from 2010 was landlope..
the next 7 landlope+
saudade is hiraeth+ in that saudade is hiraeth..(a dead word about only the past) .
" but it [the goodness you lament lost] is not necessarily finished yet."
meaning, you can get 'it' back..if you maybe fight for ..it..her.... whatever
i need to...saudade would be i guess ALSO finding someone who somehow wants to just add something in...
In fact also i was pondering...so so few 20-25 year olds does one see walking...is there some way one could guide them into...our mode..??
\within a book? Not a guide book a book on not how, but why.. they may.
That, i need guidance on...
landlope mode now becomes a tad less momentum unfortunately as i have yo hustle quiet workingspace to just maybe write this as elegantly as ....she ... deserves
which is almost impossible in Cornwall as i never meet anyone living here who knows what zen peace and inner centeredness are...
despite half of them trying to monetise it...so as to afford the rip off prices everywhere
I have a strange habit of giving away for free no paywall my jottings (for 15 years).
And in fact it is all really about one theme: enduring, but finding REAL useful lessons along The Odyssey..
And landlope (never any earphones on and no one ever phones he hahh hahh) is the best mode for inwardly pondering upon the important useful aspects of even years being Lazarus (i am not quite sure he is the right archetype) or some lostish philosopher for years trudging around very barren Wastelands. In fact it is wrong to say 'pondering upon' as i don't think we have a 'choice' of things to figure are they good or bad, it is merely a case of in some modes of being all the 'bad' events pop back into ones head and the useful positive aspects are visible as if some revelation or light providing burning bush... when you thought all was dark.
The 'end' of the journey - a few i shared with as being maybe positive, is not the purpose and does not make on genuinely 'happy'..it's the enduring and some useful insights upon the meditative meandering ...with forward mementum, bodily... that are the purpose. In my book.
But one has to have a bit of a twist to a tale. This one has one.
LOTS of audios between first one August and just yesterday, to imclude as first draft but most are merely chapters i can copy out into a bookform.
Living 100% off grid for three years i have limited battery and most of my electronic equipment is on its last legs. But the struggle is ALWAYS worth it, if for no other reason to eventually get a few sane things down in print or even other 'media' - print works best...always has always will.
My problem is a love a happy ending (Reader on the 6.27 a superb example of suspense until) but i am not sure others believe in them too.
.... not about the environment, but for 20+ years the actual hardship of living in THE 'environment' = very sparsely populated places. Almost complete mentally tough aloneness. And no hope of changing that.
The landlope gets one through it.
Landlope is entirely a work in progress and must be worked through from the start if someone is daft enough to wish to (sorry where i raised myself - in the wilds...we speak gentle sardonic wryspeak ...and actually i know the 'theme' is good)
Go to the beginning (older posts link at bottom of the page). And plod up the pages to here. A sort of book in sketchy first draft. Not a 'blog'. Not a romantic lovestory with a crumbling cliffedged ending...
Though there is a chunk missing. Which will be here soon.
And (as i had yesterday) anyone who wishes to add in thoughts or the right words please get in touch. ilandlope alloneword @gmail.com though i don't check it very often. Phone best.
afterwords, not really...
new files from 4th Oct 2024
But all audio 'chapters' follow on from the beginning.
And a chat with a REAL, lovely couple - gentle and demure ( as i am in real life) , who work for Natural England and agree the delicate ecosystems are damaged beyond hope....
though landlope is NOT about any 'causes' - been there, got t shirt... too long a massive drain on everything, life down the drain (as on eco we have failed..)
And truth of an even more gorgeous giraffe. Her 'mindfulness' will not help her standard existential issues almost all i ever encounter in everyone...
But, the word... I sort of need to rethink, Mr Natural England likes it, but i don't wish to use elite sounding words.
'chugging' along with momentum... is the closest simplest language, so far.
And I am going to keep thoughts recorded on ' the farm' ... maybe.
Perhaps i don't need to; probably i should not because there is something valuable in landlope... i do need to finish it off.
This is entirely incomplete and is so far missing my best thoughts collected august and early sept this year.
plus...but you have to listen in sequence, othersite has post, video
" where i met"
"Clare"
and several other videos that need putting here.
Now the summer is over i get to writing properly
( this last audio should ask " does anyone GET my point - that there's almost a different mode that is landlope... and also experience this 'mode' of walking?..if so please tell me..i share ALL my ideas for free.")
Although I do not wish to pollute, the success, so to speak, of 'landlope' with too much past storytelling, of nothing much .. merely as context, i do know what truly being 'free' and not one smallest little scab of scar tissue means.
And i know that this is real proof of a mode, that works:
And ok near a year of real landloping - in other words just gradually day by day in most weathers getting into the habit of bouncing along the SW Coastal Path - some sections back and forth, others more seriously tackled as a 25 km section today with a loose goal, the next 25km the next day...
Only recently fully landloped into tabula rasa not a care in rhe world, and some unexpexted pleasure, i could feel inside - unquestionably a deep inside the body, thing
" I look forward to the same again next year"
maybe here
Maybe some other similar spot up country - there must be other such places, where the Europeans are majority
I havent felt that real ' look forward' to feeling, for near fifteen years..
I think the landlope kindof gets you to where you had forgotten you wished to, be.
This website - not intended as a website but collection of writings and audios and not much video, perhaps to attempt to publish properly one day, has three purposes.
The first two are fairly self evident.
To describe and catalog to some extent what i have personally LONG felt is an ideal mode of healthily walking on - momentum is very much part of it...
By which i also mean for many years i have read widely books like Richard Maybe's Nature Cure, To Macdonald's H is for Hawk, and i feel most books in that genre are fundamentally flawed and in fact a little self reverent or narcissistic, and more importantly, i do not think they work as 'guidebooks' on how to move forward, permanently and into something new and better from the vicissitudes of life and its sometimes regular tripping up and ending up at the bottom of an abyss..
landloping on... which may be a very very long process .. there are NO quick fixes, ever..
I shall also here write bettwer material on the 'simple' mode of life - connected in a way to the above.
Then for myse;f i have long known that there is a far gentler mentality - philosophical and in fact far more "human" still in Europe. Uk utterly lost its way 15 or even 20 years ago.
I have many days this summer with Europeans (who make up 75% plus on the SW Coastal Path) some are formally recorded or even we have filmed a little trying to chronicle this....
And to me it is a wonderful 'saudade' - the Portuguese version of the We;sh word "hiraeth" however the Welsh word is dead. It cannot be found again. The Portuguese (you wont find this online!) i have heard face to face state
" saudade,,,isn't finished yet.."
In fact my chat with the Dutch couple yesterday (i recorded part of it below in 277) is 100% saudade - especially chatting with him, i had only met an hour earlier... quiet silences of we were on exactly the same wavelength - no need to say anything the moment we met we knew we were socio-spiritually or just our lifetime experience was one... : " the world has gone a bit mad... but we are ok we still have time to sit and stare.."
total peace...
Attempting to write up the formula that i know worked for me over 15 years is my project. And yes there is ineffable 'magic' or hocus pocus too.. but finding categorically neutral wording for that is the hardest thing of all. Not pushing my own 'belief' on 'something' that i have never read anyone describe in a way that is purely of the certain 'possibility' there is 'something' .. we may never be able to even get close to understanding.
But in the last week due some random but one could say poignant reencounters i am reminded of what the real 'project' is - surviving with bright eyes, and 'chin up' a rather sad 'preciousness' that came over the whole British middle class as many began colonising rural places like The MArches around Hay-on-Wye at first, and even moreso The south west ..
In short and this is not really 'judgement' but is my own 20 years lived reality - as someone utterly at ease with 'nature' or the aspects of it which may tan, sting, get you dirty.. all my life, there is a fearfulness i endlessly encounter in the incomer class, and also as the internet came along a wish - neurotic need, to 'curate' people via systems of semi 'therapeutic' ways of making a living. First the 'wellness' yoga and also other forms of ' i am sick and need a guide '.. at £50 a session.. reencountering a woman i met a few weeks ago who makes money out of 'breathing' - it so crystallised once more, all became rather a tyranny and i know full well makes NO ONE happy... as on a rare sytill and beautiful day this summer she had " no time" to carry on a brief chat we had due her devices pinging.. at the most sublime of spots...
Their body language (and often bad posture hunched over their devices even on a beach) says so...
It is not a 'preciousness' of damaged and hurt people, it is a preciousness that is the reality behind so many who 'perform' being part of 'nature' as they think that somehow one day they may be able to make money out of their ..( breathing exercises / sound gong therapies.. even workshops on 'permaculture gardening - we knew about 40 years ago.. ) 'mindful' image... and over twenty years i have at times worked for or alongside the supposed mindful (who DO charge money to therapise people) and i know full well from many many experiences they are not at all.. they have no 'zen' .. rural zen rural easiness and stoicism or simply lack of neurosis (landlope sort of powers one into continuing) means you NEVER ever panic or worry.. ever...
The 'precious' people - all whom i encounter in the SW are my only leftover slightly draining force... but landloping on is remedy to even them..
Bingo! :-)
in the google drive store are voice file 273 and 274
though there are some missing from a few weeks ago to finish off what i began to waffle then
file 277 - unplanned really just off to waffle a little more on sunsets into my voice recorder, and got chatting with some of my wonderful Europeans (who MUCH more 'get' the more meandering mode of walking)
THE ABOVE IS THE END of 'newer' explanations - i have a few more bits of film taken over the last 6 weeks attempting to explain my way of describing this, i shall upload soon.
Due to AT LAST !!...from a week ago, a few weeks of glorious summer weather, when i walk a lot...
This collection of thoughts on a walking 'mode' - with plenty of tragicom bleak real life stories interwoven merely to make certain points that walking is the remedy, (to EVER feeling sorry for yourself) and is my great grande finale of years of slightly poetical writing, and audio waffling, work; but is delayed.
There are various next 'chapter' audios and a few films to put up here from a month ago when i started this site....
I will get to it, soon.
* thats the point, really, in in the July August weather often bad, still, walking on.. keeping a certain momentum, always..is the cure for everything, and also very good for real creativity - meaning (you will have to listen to the audios) .. even in a sort of parallax world of only wasteland and dystopia - behind the smiles of most English walkers i encounter (not the Europeans) is weirdness and 'people pleasing', one keeps ones pecker ALWAYS up, by the momentum and real 'mindfulness' of knowing nothing good can ever happen.... except being able to walk on the next day, too... and with even better fitness if one manages to keep up a minimum of 50 fairly strenuous km a week.. more is ideal, but post 50 that's the ideal...
Even if i so long wish others could be also featured as they speak around this ( my) subject, with me.... i have some great recorded discussion but it will take a lot of work to go back and list it here.Some beeping may be required as i value others anonymity unless they are fully open like i am..
But there are still half a dozen videos from august that i need to put here and also some more audios.
To try and encapsulate the ' point' ... before i maybe even try to get a publisher interested.
Or get down to writing out a more simple book format this winter. Of an unexpectedly wonderful summer.
This is however a work or mode in 'action', in that there is an extremely poignant story underway. ( unnexpectedly but landlope mode has reenergised me) ... Fifteen years... maybe The Path can help with that, too... a simple long overdue fixing of someone else's sad stuckness.
But the mode is: you never get quite what is simple goodness, and wished for.... its what you LIVE out as you aimlessly wander, that is life...
Landlope really is about having such a quiet mind, always.... even if i have a fairly white knuckle daily just survival routine, which i aleays do, survive, and thrive..
That despite the occasional.pychodrama around me, i even remember, without notes i had to finish this off....
Now, i like writing in the 'moment' - meaning never any aforethought, yes i make notes, diligently get them out, get comfy, on rainy days....and just start typing, and other poetical ways of putting my palaver just come to pass... as if one is assisted, to write yet more rubbish.
But landlope is a serious sort of slightly Richard Maybe guruish attempt at actually writing something to 'assist' others but without his pious earnest stream of lying bullshit designed to only make him appear nice and invitable to some middle class dinner party.
'Real'... momentum into something just a little 'healing' or rather tolerating, the cant and vanity, of modern humanity, but above all really bolstering the body into being as healed as possible via loads of hard slogging up hills on your toes or heels...and a bit of puff and sweat...
But i have not even quite got myself set up yet.
100% clean desktop.
Mind also swaying from a wonderful, and never-before, happy series of good long walks with foreigners the last few months.... even if i never think of myself as British ever - quite the opposite...my cross to bear as i trudge, sadly, only the British pathways... at present though would love asylum in the EU so i can trudge there...
Anyway new identity and email address. I won't email anyone (except one - i am loyal, but forget that..) . if someone wishes to correspond with me, my email address is below. Though phone ..voice to voie...always best.
Or the contact box works i guess.
However squarespace (domains) are SO complex... i used to use simple little google domain service where you could buy one for a tenner and be up and running with only a few clicks within an hour not so now google sold out (their domains retail branch) to Squarespace whom once again make a simple domain redirection a nightmare. IT will take hours to figure...days, months..... as their 'how-to' write ups are in Greek...
And then i have a new email address not really intended for use - merely as a thinking-of-other people ease of access, to me ... landlope.com and ilapndlope email....
i was experimenting with a blogspot there too and forgot as i jotted this morn, i was in the wrong identity!
Where there is a message for someone who's identity must remain secret.
(i shall transfer that - mistakenly written there, to here, in a bit)
Soon.. i shall make sure all simply works, only, from landlope.com
And maybe put up a substack too for audios - simplest rather splendid way of doing so...
But as i don't do social media (a blogspot merely being cheapest way to have a website - the "WE"men* swearing by that other one thats so so complex! ... wordpress requires a degree in being a nerd just to share basic pages of writing
*"we"men is anew term shortcut language i have recently adopted for the many male environmental trendyists ... they invaded my past region (and clearly the SW, too) where the environment became destroyed - i maintain BECAUSE of them....
when you are conversing with them - a famous one recently.. they say "we think like this..." its always said as well we dont think like that... as one has just shared with him...
IN other words i am a bully as i imply we will come and duff you up for not sucking up top me..as all the rest do.......is there deep down!
In other words if one were to say to them, as i do: "blame US...my generation so so oversonsume they ... here especially...look at you funny as if you are tramp degenerate, if you arent wearing expensivish walking boots in midsummer... WE ARE ALL PART OF THE PROBLEM..... if every walker in, say, India they all portend they adore for its ashrams... wore walking boots...all billion of them... the emissions to create them, and also even molecular waste that wears off them into the streams and seas... would be a majorly yet another way of polluting the planet, so SET AN EXAMPLE...dont wear boots especially wellies in the summer... as all products have a cost, that isnt a benefit...anyway my sandals or crocks dont cause blisters either... "
no you get "we... dont think like that.. we think that [ getting on radio 4 as the next Tim Smit, saving humanity by building huge tourist attractions] our way, and blaming others..rather than ourselves, too...is the way.."
OF course they can never say: "WE are on the same side...lets talk, and have fellowship on how our side may in the future, work...as its sure FAILED thus far.." which is actually why even your Marches and Cornish streams are most polluted because only real solidarity between, ALL, on the same side, works.... against the majority greedy thoughtless sort... sad but true.
And truth: utter lack of any on my side over 20 years, is why the other side, won...
more audio on what is landlope, plus several more euro encounters
files 36 and 38 walking today in google drive fileshare folder
i skip ahead...more film to add in from last week.
There is a sequence...
Sunday, 25 August 2024
landlope shall commence, soon.... more thoughfully.
The problem is...
The truly atrocious books such as H is for Hawk
and to some extent even Salt Path ( my middle aged woman librarian friend confirms, she " flicked through" and i adore and value her truebook taste... she knows real resilience in literature and not making up pain out of routine things, the recent UK way....a spcoetal pathway to hell... she quotes Steinbeck as her guidebook..)
pity pieces
confected.
One way or another...
And overthink, overwrite, all....
landlope is a mode that needs describing ... and maybe making a 'thing' out of something people have been doing since humanity began, is wrong... all i know is many have been dragged into the fleshtearing brambles aside the pathways by over 'do'ing ... their wandering out into nature.... or big 'walks'
lots of video made already ....
And only one person i have linked here, who knows where i have been gonzo riffing on things for a year or more... she may just get the 'purpose'.
Unlikely, as people overthink and assume.....
I put a song up on my main site " she walked for miles" today which absolutely gets to the nub of it.... i first heard that song 4 years ago and knew instantly it describes perfectly the mode i had been in for some years ...
in fact putting that song into words - which include some real life action stories is almost my sole purpose ( not actionman comicbook, but of for example confronting environmental terrorists... terrorising many animals in natural settings.. having the calm mind to do what i knew would only bring me negativity and possibly even danger.) ... the landlope... the'" mind sway" to quote Tammy Payne...in her fabulous song.. puts one above fear and hesitation.... but concurrently is also true ' meditation'
there must be movement, too... life is a dance, but to keep to a healthiest rhythm....thats always there no matter how people stab at you..... i know is the key.
In fact i have recently read Orwell's rather good Down and Out in Paris and London.
He alone seems to have got the ' dignity' in the 'tramp' class.
Landloping does not revell in selfpity, ever, and wouldnt show worn out parts of clothing. Landloping is about NOT standing out in any way - never distracting from the basic body ( i never even speak with the ubiquitous tattooed) ...
Because one wishes to share only ones spirit,in conversarion, not anything that sets one apart or the armsrace of being seen in special new equipment many have made walking about
But it is al.ost in tune with the original etymology of landlope, in that being simple... i dont even own walking boots.. this is seen as
' subversive' in modern society with a costume for all occasions.
over 6 months I have chatted with quite a few walkers on the SW Coastal path. I have never been someone who ever keeps to official paths. I usually avoid them. But meeting so many Europeans has been a true pleasure and almost became a compulsion. As someone who always wakes 6am and from years ago kindof hates being around anyone even with a couple of drinks in them - so boring.... my socialising is in the daytime.
I am not complete misanthrope...
So i have met a few who maybe will add in to this - they already have... we have chatted on subjects here and some i will call propper interviews i shall put here ..
( some unplanned en route chats are in audios 1-6 already loaded here)
for now a roundup of some benefits of the landlope mode are in this
how to survive well really bleak times...in fact WHY i doubled my own walking winter 2022
which is in the same google drive folder as the other recordings, and the bits of film of some of my simply almost perfect companions
lots more to put here....
its worth a real film,and the ending is ' happy' but i am not sure British art wants to show life can end up PROPERLY ... positive...
landlipers dont use fake phrases like ' have a positive outlook... positivity blahh blahh..'.on their advertorial writings everything became...
And i do have one collaborator... when she has sorted a few things out back home.... i think she will...
I dont know if there is anything genuiely new and useful to try and show via book or my favoured form, slightly 'gonzo' essaying or any film or audio but i lnow the seriousself regarding taking onesself seriously version of using the bodily... doesnt work....
this mode is for life
And it saved mine...several times.. during true REAL broken heart chucked into the abyss .. 2010...18, and maybe the last year....
