Living off the land 100%

Moving...

Heading South towards the land of Daily Mail reading wronguns. I'm told the journey will be very beautiful. It had better be.

"I really enjoyed the A2"

So, how does The Atlantic Ocean affect your life?

"Affect my life? It controls my life", someone told me. They went on to explain that they could shelter from the sea, but never escape it.

"I, on the other hand, not being arsed to fulfill any promise I ever make, have managed to escape the Atlantic quite well. I found this road called the A2. It's got buses and everything"

Lagos and an Estonian connection.

It was Hemingway who said "there is One in every port". Seems he was right. I am on a bit of a Hemingway vibe presently

"because I'm a total fucking con merchant and seek my place in Private Eye's 'pseuds corner' forthwith"
 
"Stanley Edwards was last seen: Today at 2:51 PM"

He could have posted something. Something about bus toilets, or aircon. Or €30,00 by train, much easier to walk up and down than a bus

Fuck off with the immature comments on my blog. That was just Five days of less than 40KM/day. That is about 8 Hours of hiking a day. With rest each 3 Hours it is a piece of piss even with a dodgy foot. You leave at sunrise (7AM), arrive at your destination by 6PM comfortably. Loads of daylight, and time to sort out cooking and somewhere to sleep. It really is a piece of piss.

Anyway...

Look at my beautiful new watch you fuckers. I can now tell Portuguese time even when my phone and laptop batteries are fucked.

It is made to the highest quality. Immaculately finished. Beautifully styled. It has all the right numbers and marks on the back. It is the first watch I have bought in almost 20 years. It replaces my Seiko pilots watch which went with my last backpack theft in Malaga last year after a 15+ year relationship.

It will help me increase the price of my sketches by 30% - 40%.

I have realised that none of you sad losers want to learn what I have learned about surviving very healthily off the land whilst being nomadic. All you sad twats want to know is how to make cash. This will be important to all of you in the post apocalyptic World, so, without prejudice, I am going to show you how this is done.

The hiking was out of this World fucking extraordinarily beautiful. It did go a little bit 'Deliverance' at times. Can't deny I was spooked a little, but spooked in a nice melodramatic sort of way.

The more you lot doubt - the sadder you all read.

If you bothered to look at my blog you would know that I have walked from Granada to the Ukraine in the past. I love hiking, and even with an old tendon injury, a well paced 40Km, or even 50KM is really not an issue.

I'm really, really enjoying it. Your loss in life really.

Walk Three hours. Rest 30 minutes. Walk Three hours. Rest 30 minutes. Walk Three hours. Rest 30 minutes. Barely a days work.
 
Basically he took about 9 weeks to complete 2/3rd of his journey, and just a few days with a dodgy foot to complete it? :hmm:

There was nowhere to pause and make cash between Santiago de Cacem and The Algarve, so I just hiked, and hiked. It was beautiful. Incredibly beautiful. The tiredness, and exhaustion works better than drugs, or booze even.

I am feeling healthy as fuck. All skin scars have healed. My foot is very comfortable. My overall sense of well-being is up there somewhere. I am soon going to take a 1 hour hike to a paradise beach to sleep. I am currently sleeping within an hour of sundown, and waking with the sunrise on pristine, golden beaches :)
 
Look at my beautiful new watch you fuckers.
It is made to the highest quality. Immaculately finished. Beautifully styled. It has all the right numbers and marks on the face..... It is the first watch I have not foraged in almost 20 years.
It will help me increase the price of my sketches by 30% - 40%....so....that'll help with more "foraging".
All you sad twats want to know is how to make cash....

Hmmmm

Ftfy
 
Look Stanley, I don't particularly care but I do know you're a liar. I've traveled, I've blogged, and I've read tons more of the same. You don't spend chapters getting not very far and writing about everything then suddenly jump 150 miles in a few days and not write a fucking thing.

I say 'writing about everything'. You actually had very little to write about, save for some pretentious bullshit about the Atlantic...which you waffled on about until you got the bus. Likesay, I don't particularly care except I was one of the people who originally came to this thread willing you on because, as I say, I'm a traveler and blogger too and I looked forward to your tale.

Your parting shot is a raised finger and 'look at my watch'? WTF?

Living off bullshit.

I have absolutely nothing to prove here. I keep my blog for my own reasons. I don't travel very fast when I am in money making cities. When I am walking through rural wilderness, I just walk, and pause occasionally.

You read like a really sad fucking loser :(
 
no it isnt. it is not mentioned, i have been following it for a while. not that it matters.

Oh. I thought you meant my new, beautiful, gorgeous, sexy watch.

I'll check my blog another day, but perhaps I didn't feel Ukraine was worth mentioning, because I quite literally crossed the border, walked for an hour, and then turned around. But, I did get there :)
