Flâneurs

I completed challenge III. (c) random pub to the Gunmakers Arms in Birmingham's Gun Quarter. Post including a one paragraph report with one photo inside the Two Towers brewery.

I did a second III. (c) random cafe to Wolverhampton Art Gallery cafe. Post including a one paragraph report with one photo of art in the cafe.

I completed challenge I. (a) and investigated an interesting thing seen from a tram window in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. Post including a one paragraph report with one photo of Key Hill Cemetery.

I did II. (a) following a tram line in Birmingham city centre. One paragraph with five photos, from Grand Central to Snow Hill.

I also did a semi-failed II. (c) Local council walk in Stratford-Upon-Avon. Full report with a dozen photos, circular walk along the River Avon.

South Worcestershire flooding, 13 small images (link to my journal), possibly relevant to flaneurs' interests.

A player of SF0, whose character is known as Sam Archer, has designed a Fluxx-inspired card game for walkers who enjoy constraints on their derive(s).

ETA, thanks to squirmelia!

Probably slightly outside this com's remit but the Ramblers are hoping for mystery walkers to sign up for slightly randomised 2 mile walks in their local area:

I was in Worcestershire over the early May Bank Holiday weekend, extended by the royal wedding holiday. I visited Malvern, a town with nearly 30,000 inhabitants, famous for its water, during the annual well dressing event.



This well/spring in an old bottling works is a small red-rock cave, lined with green moss, surrounding a pool of water, and set into a wall in a publicly accessible courtyard.

There are 10 photos with minimal commentary @ my journal. 7 of the wells are in urban Malvern with one, St Ann's Well, on the Malvern Hills above the town and two more, Westminster Bank Spout and St James Churchyard, in the connecting dormitory "village" of West Malvern.
