Oh, look, it's June!

Just a small reminder that we're doing the June challenge again this year.

Here are the themes: theme I, theme II, theme III. To complete the challenge, all you need to do is make an attempt during June 2012 to follow at least one set of instructions from each theme, and then report back to the community, either via a complete trip report or simply by leaving a comment on this post stating what you did and how it went.

As last year, various bits of flaneurs swag will be offered to everyone who completes the challenge.

I wondered if it should have a test-run challenge before it's added to June but either/both is fine. In a high-rise city it's a good excuse for walking undercover in unfriendly weather but in many medium or low-rise areas the outside highs would be colder/wetter. I also noted how much difference leaves would make to views in medium and low-rise areas so here Nov-March (ish) would be completely different to April-October.

I think tube platforms are an excellent example cos they're not only a low (or a high in some "underground" stations) but also very local/city specific.

I didn't know the Dangleway had its own nickname already, hee!

I'm thinking it might be better in its own month, since if we put too many themes in the June challenge then completists will be unhappy! Perhaps in an equinox month would be good? In which case it would be March, since we already have a September challenge.

Good point about the completism, heh. Everything else is entirely up to you. Being a year-round urban walker with no personal goals means I'm very flexible.

OK! I've put a note in my diary to get this up and running in March next year. Thank you!
