Wanstead – Alders Brook Meander

What happens when you allow yourself to be guided by your feet? I’d just had coffee with John Davies to talk through our talk at Wanstead Book Festival the following night focusing on John’s book of Soviet Maps, Red Atlas and also other mapping curiosities. It was a perfect afternoon for a walk and I had a strong feeling to just follow my nose and see where my feet led me. After initially resisting the lure of jumping on a tube or bus somewhere, I eventually found myself in the bed not the banks of the Alders Brook with the brilliant Paul Powlesland who was completing the final stages of the Alders Brook restoration project. My feet guided me well. The post Wanstead – Alders Brook Meander appeared first on the lost byway.
