The Wayrider Chronicles started by a suggestion in a pub over a few beers, after I had mentioned I was, for various reasons, getting bored.
The suggestion was that seeing as I was 'opinionated', why didn't I think about starting a YouTube Channel.
So I did.
The name, or rather the url, was one I have had for a number of years and had never gone anywhere. I had attempted to run a blog under the domain name thewayrider.com, only it never got off the ground.
When I originally claimed the name. I was looking for an expression or name that evoked a person walking or moving along life's road, that stretched into a distant future.
The mountains came later, and are perhaps a reflection on where I now live.
The road of life is one we all walk along, essentially alone, or rather alone in our heads.
