OK! 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.

Yes! Any variation to make a good walk with a possibility of dinosaurs. Have fun! :-)

There is a logical* other London point which should be connected to the Crystal Palace dinosaurs. And I fancy making it a voyage from the more familiar to the less familiar rather than vice versa.

I look forward to your report. :-)

I've walked from A to B H for all sorts of "because it makes sense in my head" reasons. I suspect most people who regularly do pre-planned walks have done "because it makes sense in my head" journeys.

(I've been sitting on my hands about my other favourite places in Crystal Palace cos I didn't want to distract you and you'll probably find at least one of them anyway, heh.)

Write-up to follow in the fullness of time.
