  1. Inevitably, #Walktober ended in a downpour - but at least this #duck is enjoying the #rain! (#StreetArt from #JamesStraffon)
    And I've loved the month of evening & urban #walks—keeping my legs moving through dark of the year
    Thanks @GoJauntly for the idea & #CityStrides for location inspiration!

    #CityStrides can be a great way to find those bits of #London I can easily to get to, yet habit and pinch-points keep me away. But tools can be the most dangerous masters – I need to resist the temptation to stare at the map too much, keep seeing the world around me.

  3. Seen at the end of another long city #walktober wander, #Arsenal station's corridors always feel a mixture of terrifying and strangely hilarious (as I only visit when it's pretty empty)

  5. On Wednesday I walked Aldgate to Seven Sisters, (visiting in between) close to a straight line. Someone said "Not a very pretty road though?" But watching how much #London changed around me, seeing the #StreetArt of #JimVision, #Loretto & others— that was #beautiful

  7. You're walking through an alleyway when suddenly…a #tree leans over the fence? No, not a tree – a #dragon with wooden flesh. She asks you where her forest grove has gone—only fell asleep for a century or so. Can you help her find it?

  9. Continuing the #halloween theme - when I stared into the darkness on a night-walk near Clissold… something stared back!

  11. How many #rivers shall I #walktober down? The answer shall always be "Another, ANOTHER!" On Sunday, it was the Duke of Northumberland - a man-made mill-stream, yet still #beautiful for that. (1/2)

  13. A wise philosopher* said "The way I see it, if you want the #rainbow, you gotta put up with the #rain!" And on this #walktober wander through many woods just outside the M25 yesterday with @Metwalkers we were graced with both (and much more beauty I'll share later).

    *It was #DollyParton

  15. I love exploring #London for its eternal capacity to surprise—like when I #walktober down a dead-end mews to see what's there… and it's a #MorrisMinor hearse!

    I assume film prop, but looking up 'Charles Stephens' I find they're #Wirral funeral directors, spot the hearse is in a couple of their photos online - and due to the all-hours nature of their work, end up having a lovely chat with them at about 11pm!

  17. As I again #Walktober the streets of #Islington keeping an eye out for foxes in the ever-darker evenings, I hear an defiant mew - "I am the Night! Me! 😼"

  19. The #foxes of #Islington would rather I just #walktober onwards, and leave them with the privacy necessary to bothering their neighbours by yowling in the dark!

  20. Yesterday, back with my usual group – the @Metwalkers (I Walktober'd about 40 miles this weekend! 😳) and we saw just how much #countryside is within easy reach of #Overground lines!

    Along with portentous #alpacas and a #heron out standing in its field (in the #rain, but he don't care).

  22. Due to a cancelled walk, I spent yesterday #walking up and down hills with the "Thousand Foot" group in #Surrey and along the #NorthDownsWay, rather than my usual Ramblers lot. Good exercise and a lot of interesting things to see!

  24. If the #Barbican were a #DnD megadungeon you level up at least twice going through (if??) - then what would be the boss-monster at the top of the Shakespeare tower?

  26. Sometimes the best sights come at the start of the #walk - riding the train one stop more than I needed to yesterday meant I walked past these weird and wonderful #sculptures at Denmark Hill I think organised by the #Camberwell Society.

  28. Don't look at the darkness.
    Don't look at the #darkness.
    It can't eat any more of me
    If I don't look at the darkness

  29. I saw many things whilst walking the hills and canal from Tring to Berkhampstead yesterday.

    But this is what stood out most

  31. #FacesInPlaces - and misty legs, floating arms. I know we're a few weeks off #Halloween, but it was getting a bit spooky as the @Metwalkers wandered around #Chelsea yesterday

  33. Of course, my #Walktober wanders aren't always A to B - sometimes I walk around a place. Sunday was #LondonZoo with especial attention to the #reptile house, as I was watching Antony & Cleopatra that evening.

  34. When the #moon took a lover in posh Belgravia, she loved to talk with him all night long.
    The neighbours hated it - all 'statutory nuisance' this and 'unreasonably and substantially interfere with the use or enjoyment' that.
    "Ahhh, but you see" said he "Ancient lights."

    (Also, a thank you to the couple who glanced down this alley and gasped to see such a clear and low moon - I so often see things thanks to the eyes of others.)

  36. My #walktober wander yesterday took me from Harrow on the Hill to Stanmore, via the tomb where #Byron lay for inspiration, and onto Bentley Priory #natureReserve, with its longhorns and #deer.

  38. One of the ideas behind #Walktober is keeping on #walking as the nights get darker, colder, wetter.
    I love a nightwalk, and don't feel the cold that much (there's privledge there, I know).
    But it's nice to be reminded to go see the darkness 🖤

  40. #London is a city perpetually creating itself out of chaos. A.S. Byatt (possibly)

    There's always something… no, a lot of different somethings going on, all at once - and my #Walktober wanders show me a lot.

    Here, a protest behind me and a closed main road ahead.

  41. It's #Walktober so I'm doing a #walk every day, and sharing what I see.
    It's always a whirligig of interesting sights, like the #StreetArt last night (artist unknown). Along with somewhere in the region of fifteen foxes!
    Credit to @GoJauntly for inspiring me to a month of walks!

  43. "What the fuck? What is this even for??" Where the Old Bailey goes into recess.

    (It's probably a vehicle entrance later bricked up, perhaps for security reasons, left as a smokers alcove, then gated off when being awful to the #homeless became a priority.)
