A message from Richard White:
'Greetings walkers!
I am planning to do the next walk
out experiment on Sunday 1 November. Again exploring ideas of enchantment and
disenchantment as we walk out of Bath passing the homes of former slave-owners.
Continuing to think how these people should be acknowledged today...
The plan is to meet outside 44AD
Gallery and then head out past some of the more iconic bits of Bath and out
onto the edge of the downs to Beckford Tower, then back down into town
following another route.
Beckford’s Tower is one of the more
visible sign of the slave trade on Bath's skyline but perhaps we will discover
more.....do join me and do contribute anything you know that might get us to
the mechanics of this enchanted city!
Practicalities: Meet at 10.00 and
back about 15.00 … maybe a drink at the Hare and Hounds on the way back?
(Beckford Tower is right near the
park and ride so that provides possibilities for walkers from out of town
as well as a bus service back into town if you need an earlier finish...)
Terrain: Its about 5 miles...about
a third is walking in town and then we will head out into the country, some
uphill stretches and through a wood. I have not recced all of this.
Bring smart phones, recording
devices, cameras, sketching etc
Please pass this on and let me know
if you plan to join the walk.
Best wishes
Richard'
