First Sunday This Sunday and we will be starting 2pm 2nd February in All Saints Park, Oxford Road, because I realise with some surprise we have never actually started there before. Our wanders will be guided using an undated version of an old favourite derive prompt. As ever all are welcome and its free to come and play with us. The walk will be at a pace, and direction, decided by participants and will probably head off in different directions.... It will last around 2 hours, please be punctual because we don't know where we will go and so you may not find us. I'll be near the stone circle in the middle of the park. If you have any questions or comments or need more information please don't hesitate to get in touch by commenting on the facebook page, emailing mlrose@thelrm.org or tweeting @thelrm

It is a citizen for whom the city is more than a zone for consumption and is, on the contrary, a fascinating source of inspiration. A short introduction into the world of the flâneur.
