Hello 2026
This has been a long and busy year for The Mercian Pilgrim, I turned 50 and made it a resolution to visit as many new places as I could. It’s safe to say that I hit that mark already, and still have till April!
A lot of things went unreported and unfilmed, suffice to say that I had enough issues with time and mental energy in 2025.
My travels this year have covered a lot of ground, Avebury and West Kennet Long Barrow, Baddesley Clinton, The Rollright Stones (pictured), Gawton’s Well, Mitchell’s Fold, Titterstone Clee, Repton and many more places. It’s a privilege to be able to do this and a joy to stand in so many ancient places.
I have a few adventures to report on and more of them planned in the future. I am updating my YouTube channel again, the process of creating those videos suing Free Software is a fascinating and rewarding learning process.
I have more to say on the subject of AI, after reflection and reading. More on that later!
