Book review: Real Wrexham: Becoming the City by Sara Erddig
Desmond Clifford The “Real Series” is among the success stories of modern Welsh publishing – quite an accolade in a notoriously fickle and difficult trade. The original inspiration came from John Barnie, then editor of Planet. Mid-way through an unprecedented economic boom in the late 90s he noticed major change underway in fin-de-siecle Cardiff and

Take a Random Walk Around the Berlin Wall Just Months Before Its Sudden Fall (Summer 1989) | Open Culture
Officially, the Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989. Demolition would take more than four years, and a few sections remain for memorial purposes, but it was on that date that passage between East and West Berlin — and thus East and West Germany — opened to all citizens of both countries.

Villefagnan: May, 2026
We arrived in the flatlands of the Charente in the last days of May, carrying laptops, agendas, PowerPoints about our deliverables, European acronyms and all the fragile optimism required to believe that human beings from five countries can agree on anything. It was a heatwave. Our nostrils tingled with the whiff of ammonia rising from
Point d’ouïe, micro chronique auriculaire
Le marché de ma petite ville, un mardi matin maussade et frais, peu de monde. Mais des voix téméraires et joviales résistent et persistent, se saluent et devisent. Courses terminées, je m’assois, dans une sorte de rituel, sur un banc de la place centrale, un de mes favoris. Le marché s’achève, se replie sur lui-même, […]
30. Sarah Tolmie, All the Horses of Iceland
I’m not sure how All the Wild Horses of Iceland came into my possession—I suspect my friend Tanis MacDonald sent it to me in trade for some books about walking, because there’s a postcard from her tucked inside—but I’m glad it did, and that I read it near the end of my trip to England, … Continue reading 30.

L’art d’une scénophonie située
Première approche, scénophonie de terrain Je vais aborder ici une approche scénophonique toute personnelle, qui ne cherche pas, tant s’en faut, à englober tout ce que cet étrange vocable peut convoquer. Le terme de scénophonie est d’ailleurs très peu défini, pas plus que le potentiel métier de scénophoniste. Il y a donc peu de chance […]

So Long and thanks for all the ghosts and hobbits: Robert ‘Bob’ Gilbert 6th October 1942 – 7th June 2026.
The Dad-Map is, of course, never really settled: borders and landmarks can shift and change. Well-trodden paths can suddenly, unexpectedly, develop surprising new forks and turns. However you choose to navigate this terrain, there will always be someon...

I got AI to plan my holiday – then local guides ripped apart its suggestions
The appeal of getting a free, quick, well-structured travel plan is easy to see, and something that is causing travel agents another Covid-sized thing to worry about. But does AI really have the answers for urban explorers? Source: I got AI to plan my holiday – then local guides ripped apart its suggestions – The
Big Sky Country, Walking Art

Going from strength to strength, they recently published a book, Australian Walking Artists, Volume 1 24/25, highlighting work by the members of their organisation. One of the group’s founders, and president, Molly Wagner, wrote an
