The WHIMs

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.

A Philosophy of Walking

By walking, you escape from the very idea of identity, the temptation to be someone, to have a name and a history … The freedom in walking lies in not being anyone; for the walking body has no history, it is just an eddy in the stream of immemorial life. In A Philosophy of Walking, a
