September challenge: the details
Aug. 21st, 2011 06:51 pmOK! So I mentioned there would be another Flâneurs challenge, and here it is.
The instructions for the June challenge were relatively complicated, so I decided to do a simpler one this time.
To participate in the September challenge:
- Leave a top-level comment on this post, stating the name of the city/town you'll be doing your challenge in. (You can leave more than one comment if you want to walk in more than one place.)
- Wait for September, during which time hopefully other community members will reply to the comment as described below, giving you a selection of starting points for your walk.
- Once it's September, pick one of the starting points you've been given, do a walk of any length or type starting from that point, and report back.
To help others complete their September challenge:
- Choose one of the top-level comments on this post which contain the name of a town/city.
- Use an atlas, online map, etc, to select a starting point within that town/city. You can choose a point that you think will result in a pleasant walk, a challenging walk, a walk that's likely to produce a report that you'll find interesting, any criteria you like.
- Leave a comment specifying your chosen point, and optionally the criteria you used to choose it.
