The WHIMs

The WHIMS are weekly walks held in mystery.

Acting on a whim, a journey of scored prompts has been created to take walkers through the warmest months of British Summer Time from 17 April – 25 September 2026. The aim is to walk with focused enchantment and curiosity. Developed over time, will this become a pilgrimage of the heart, mind and feet – without the blisters? At the end, all walkers, whether they walk 1, 4 or the whole set of walks, will be invited to the ‘castle’ for merriment and the answer to the mystery of the WHIMs.
