crisps- a list for walkers
So what's this all about then?
Well, back in February 2001 there was a discussion on (void) about walking around London, in which we talked about viewpoints, Suicide Bridge, and London Walking, a book by Simon Pope. One chapter of this is what he called a 'constrained walk', where he walked along a single row of the London A-Z from dawn until dusk.
Some people on (void) and London.pm thought this was a good idea, so we walked for 20 miles through the city. It was tiring, but sort of fun.
Within a couple of months there was talk of doing another walk, so I set up a mailing list (rather than involving a list or two in discussions they'd not be caring about). In my usual punning way, we called it crisps.
What walks have you done?
So far, we've done a few:
- 2001-03-18: Constrained Walk North-South
