As my rule is that this identity, landlope.com is only given face to face to those i meet walking, and even then not very often, and all on the SW path are off on their preordained specific mission so dont have the time to ponder any project, i guess a silly notion.
Collaborator on more than landloping but in fact stopping chatting with many Europeans on the SW coastal path ( my joy the last 6 months) - the great majority being European, it is a gorgeous saudade ( hiraeth, plus the possibility of ' getting it back' that is implicit in that Portuguese word) how all Europeans are still so much more comfortable in their own skin, at ease.... wholesome and feet on the ground... easily meet one eye-to-eye as pure equals out walking; and i wish to make some filmed project speaking with many as i have been.
Just to ask the question, how have so many Brits ended up in a less easy mode.
For example if i ask European mothers ( it almost entirely is women walking) " do your children speak of false allegation [ against teacher or neighbour], self harm, eating disorders, mental health issues, 'gender' matters, addiction- especially now ubiquitous ketamine horse ferkin tranquiluser, everywhere! causing havoc in the secondary schools of even this region, or their parents ' hoarding' illness that swept uk..."? their body language speaks of not really knowing what you are talking about. As these things are far far less common in Europe.
UK went over the cliff in respect of our childrens' social environment. Not EU....
And landloping places where Europeans walk this can be shown, in ' road trip' kind of chronicling....
Recorded discussion or even filmed discussion. Even if myself i hardly use the internet, phones, or social media.
It would be a much more interesting LIFE AFFIRMING ... road trip journey than Salt Path...... i know, as i have been in this mode a year.
( i am expert on all literature and especially EU modern lit and we lost our way into confected vulnerability and the like, whereas modern EU lit has not taken that dead end pathway so much of our culture is wallowing in)

I have made homemade digital material for years, and i ( slightly ' gonzo' ) essay and waffle to camera on deeper realities, but this is a confined specific theme hence i dont even share my other, past, material...
My native mote natural format is audio in the form of sort of ongoing as-it-happens recorded diary. Warts and all. No off switch, share real life - all of it. With the purpose of creating wholesome debate. Substack is extremely good for this. Simple audio to podcast format. I have run a few in the past. I may start a new one soon. ( but have no social media to promote it)... we shall see...
Now, this load of waffle is a start afresh continuation of themes elsewhere
some will be put in video form
here, starting today.

One error of sorts or missspeaking, i have been one year roaming the SW in small van, my only enjoyment walking 50 or so km of the path most weeks, all around the Cornish coast ( this writing and other media has NOTHING to do with Cornwall, i began my mode 15 years ago in The Marches a far far more remote region).
Landloping ( as a maybe too prissyword? ) as a state of mind is fully ' zen' meaning early May my vehicle ( and home as a snail has her shell on her back) became unusable - horror! woe is me.... but finding a mutual benefit park up ( helping a landowner) it meant i must walk 3 or 4 times a week to the local town 6km away for groceries, and getting back into that enforced frequent walking mode - a fairly up and down tough coadtal route, has been the greatest of all joys. And benefits to my body. Landloping is also a mode of knowing there is ALWAYS a silver lining in any ' disaster' ( thinking my snailshell was permanently buggered until pnly a few weeks ago) or seeming setback.
Just one day on the path, 21 aug, i made a whole series of video and audio clips, attempting to precipitate several decades of meditative pondering as i wander ...
how to best put all this...
lots more clips to add in here on just that day 21 Aug... which ended with my one and only perfect encounter, maybe my ' audience' in that she seemed the only Britisher really to get the point.... what i do know is that an English teacher may struggle nowadays to inspire any British young adult or teen via good contemporary walk-on, chin up, eyes bright...lit
i have a whole site about that. message or email for the link... i only now operate among those i have met face to face
.. all internet relationships, are not
you have to enjoy being one human to another in the wilds to relax and feel equal with anyone, or just see the simple naked them.... body language really does matter...
