SUMMARY:London Southern Marshlands Walk - From Gravesend to Cyberman.
DESCRIPTION:From Gravesend across London’s Southern Marshlands to QE 2 Bridge (To meet a Cyberman)\n\n\nAnother unique InspiralLondon walk and exploration through South London Marshlands from the origins of the in/spiral at Gravesend to the foundations of Queen Elisabeth Bridge at Dartford.\n \nJoin the inspiralLondon Team for our penultimate autumn walk: \nWe will meet at 11 am sharp outside Gravesend mainline Rail Station to walk to the Gravesend Pier and start of the Inspiral trail. Then joining the Thames Path and through the site of Rosherville Pleasure Gardens encountering the last dancing bear of England. After\, the route then becomes quite industrial wending through Northfleet\, haunted by the remnants of cement industry\, before reaching Swanscombe Marsh (recently made a SSSI protected by Natural England)\, one of the most bio-diverse parts of the city’s watery commons. Passing Botany Marsh Northfleet (to the north part of Swanscombe Marsh peninsula). This marsh and former quarry site is home of rare invertbrates like the jumping spider and numerous other hidden species. Swanscombe Marsh also retains the ghostly memory of our prehistoric origin. From there we walk along the fringe of the Thames to the looming arch of Queen Elisabeth Bridge where a surprising encounter awaits with the Last Cyberman on Earth. \nThe end is the beginning which is also the end the truth is there is only one path which is defined by the end which is also the beginning (Cyber-song). Reversing the walk we took this time last year we find ourselves destined for a rendezvous with the Last Cyberman on Earth at the foot of the QE2 bridge. Essex artist Ralph Overill has forged a virtual entanglement with this denizen of the capitalist edges\, exploring his connection to wildernesses and wastelands – landscapes at the periphery of\, or between\, places. Ralph will begin the end of our walking ritual in symbiotic union between monster and margin. \nThis walk will take around five hours including stops. The Thames footpath runs out from Gravesend\, then to end at Dartford (Bridge Development area) passing through the old Littlebrook power station site to return south – for buses to Dartford or back to Gravesend. \nThis exploratory Hydrodetour is another collaboration between InspiralLondon and UEL Visual Arts foundation and InspiralLondon Associate artists and Ralph Overill. \nThis developing entanglement of the UEL Art Foundation encounter with InspiralLondon is part of their continuing Cultural Landscapes walks: “This process based student project is an example of how intuitive research can enfold us into a material tapestry of collective understanding” Dr Mikey Georgeson.

SUMMARY:Walk the Mardyke
DESCRIPTION:Walk the Mardyke.   \nJohn Churchill walk leader guides us on this unique walk along the Mardyke river from its mouth at Purfleet up to Ockenden. On Sunday 9th October meeting at Purfleet Station at 11\,30 am. SIGN UP HERE \nDue to National Train Strike this walk has been moved to the Sunday – 9th October.  You can use  C2C trains  running from Liverpool Street 10.45 (11 am) Stratford 11.07 Barking 11.22 arriving at Purfleet 11.35. To return in the afternoon to central London from Ockenden train or bus to Upminster.(and Liv.Street.) There will be rail replacement buses to Upminster or we can use the regular bus service to Upminster Station. \nThe Mardyke is a river in Thurrock that runs from Brentwood to the Thames at Purfleet….about 16 miles.   A strange but true fact …….the Mardyke is a much older river in geological times than the Thames. But of course\, of much less significance now! \n \nOn the Mardyke near Davy Down (Image curtesy John Churchill)\nBarges would use the river to take produce from the Essex Fens to the Port of London. Being a very low lying river\, moving ever so slowly\, it is prone to floods and after a period of heavy rain this walk would be impossible to complete. The Mardyke Trail\,a public footpath follows the river for most of its length (except for the first mile from Purfleet). An amazing landscape of contrasts. One moment you could be in the deep country of Suffolk…..and the next in the world of J.G.Ballard’s ‘Concrete Island’. Davy Down is in a nature reserve\, with its ‘heritage’ pumping station and viaduct; where there is a cafe for walkers to stop for refreshments. There is also a pub\, conveniently sited at the very end of the walk. \nMeeting on Sunday 9th October – You can use  C2C trains  running from Liverpool Street 10.45 (11 am) Stratford 11.07 Barking 11.22 arriving at Purfleet 11.35. To return in the afternoon to central London from Ockenden train or bus to Upminster (Liverpool Street) There will be rail replacement buses on Sunday to Upminster or we can use the regular bus service to Upminster Station. \nCome prepared for rural walk and with refreshments/picnic lunch to enjoy in the autumn display. Lead  guide contact for day John on 07398216521. \n

SUMMARY:Branches of the Wogebourne
DESCRIPTION:Branches of the Wogebourne – Meet 11 am 24th September at  \nInspiralLondon’s resident ornithological investigator J D Swann will lead a walk along a possible route of the lost Wogebourne river\, its source emerged from Oxleas Wood on Shooters Hill\, the highest point in Greater South London at 132 metres. It was called in 14th century manuscripts the Wogebourne or Woghbourne becoming widely known as Plumstead River in the following centuries. However\, by the 1970’s much of the river had been enclosed just as the Westbourne had been in West London or the Fleet in the City; it had then become the Wickham Valley Waterway\, shifting names for a mysterious watercourse. SIGN UP here \n \nObservation of wildlife will be encouraged as we pass through Shrewsbury Park and East Wickham Open Space. There the Wogebourne branches between and under Plumstead housing towards Abbey Wood Station\, it was exposed there during the construction of Crossrail in 2015 (opening 2018 and counting) where it is referred to in plans as a stormwater drain. The branch we will be following is through Bostall Heath and Woods into the ancient Lesnes Abbey Woods with its ponds and streams. We walk past the 11th century Lesnes Abbey ruins into the South Thamesmead Estate and to Southmere Lake. The lake was created in the late 1960’s as part of the drainage system for the new Thamesmead development; there an underground channel takes the remnants of the Wogebourne to the Thames at the Crossness Pumping Station outfall. \nSaturday 11th September Starting at: 11am Welling Station (Zone 4) – Meet outside main entrance (platform 1). Finishing: at Southmere Lake\, Thamesmead – then 1km (accompanied by J D) walk to Abbey Wood Station (Zone 4). Sign up HERE \nApprox 11 kilometres/ 7 miles walk – 4 hours (approx) – 8+ under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult – Full walk is not buggy and wheelchair accessible. \nJ D Swann appears courtesy of Calum F Kerr \nTerrain: Long uphill climb at Shooter’s Hill then largely downhill until Bostall Woods and Lesnes Abbey Woods in which there are several steep slopes and stairs. Oxleas Woods and Lesnes Abbey Woods after rain can be particularly muddy so appropriate footwear and weather-appropriate clothing recommended. Binoculars and Recording devices for nature are encouraged. There is a Café/WC at Oxleas Meadows\, Lesnes Abbey has a Café/WC (closes 3.30pm). \nPart of InspiralLondon unique season of Autumn Walks.

SUMMARY:Special Online event for Watery Foxes of Woolwich
DESCRIPTION:JOIN us tonight online 7pmish to 9.30pm – via livestream remote listening: \n“In early May 2020 during the first period of the Covid pandemic\, we launched a series of Night Skulks\, as a way of connecting back into a forbidden landscape. Being together without fear and experiencing life again\, these walks\, conducted individually or in small ‘family’ groups mimicked the night scavenging of urban foxes. But to make these night shift less literal we imagined ourselves as foxes\, somewhat transformed into watery beasts\, animals adapted to water\, fluid and fleeting as the shadowy night. Tracing our way along a variety of water courses that flowed near to or by our homes’ front doors\, our sensibility transformed now as hybrid animals\, we confronted another sense of dwelling within this city. We witnessed the city\, floating on a floodtide\, no longer made up from firm ground\, liquefied\, returned to a silty marshland. We saw how this city unexpectedly quiet\, with its emptied streets\, offered us unusual opportunities to see the place anew.” (Charlie Fox – ‘Waylaid by bodies of water’ (unpublished chapter GroundWalking London: To Walk and Re-enchant the City forthcoming 2023) \nFor tonights night skulk from Gallions Reach to Woolwich – tracing backwards on segment 21 of inspirallondon trail – listen to our live broadcast streaming of the walk here: \nhttp://locus.creacast.com:9001/thamesmead_wild_chorus_thamesmead_london.mp3\n\nFrom around 7pm to 9.30pm listen to live acoustic walk following the traces and scent paths of urban foxes plus reading\, discussion and soundscapes)\n\n\n\nThis broadcast is made possible because of the international artistic research platform locussonus and through our longterm collaboration with soundcamp. For the night we are grateful to the expertise and committment of associate artist Calum f Kerr for the skilled use of his binaural microphone/headphones.

SUMMARY:An Archaeology of Water - explore segment 35 of Trail
DESCRIPTION:On 1st May: A walk inspired by the archaeology along the Darenth Valley – in Experimental Archaeology of Water: on the geodetic\, in dowsing for time and other civilisation. \nWalking on segment 35\, with InspiralLondon Director and lapsed archaeologist Charlie Fox exploring watery leylines\, pre-Roman remains and the legacy of hidden civilisations located in waterborne energy lines. Returning to the North Downs of Kent\, after our Geology inspired investigations\, Charlie will offer an alternative view of the landscape as we walk part of this beautiful segment of the walk as the Metropole runs out towards Gravesend. \nWe meet at Knockholt Station on Sunday May 1st at 11.30 am to finish walk either at Eynsford Station around 4pm or Shoreham Station around 5pm. (Note we will start walking at 11.30 am – so do aim to be at Station before then – best train arrives 11.15am – Sunday train service from London Bridge at 10.19 am is to Orpington change or train direct from London Victoria 10.28 am depart – both trains have a number of South London stops)\n \n \nThis section of the trail traverses some beautiful down land countryside and then cuts back towards London along the energy lines of the Darenth Valley\, as the river wends its’ way to Dartford. We will visit the Druid’s picnic spot\, orchid-filled ancient woods\, Lullingstone Hill Fort\, skirting the Roman Villa\, the Castle to end the first part of walking at Eynsford Station. \nDarenth apparently means ‘fed by streams where oak trees grow’ – but much of the spring sources of the old river have been captured by the Medway watershed and this river was in danger of almost dying\, starved of waters in the 1980’s. Since then conservation works and renewed care of this beautiful waterway means much of the valley is accessible. For the Romans and pre-Roman the valley was a rich mosaic of farmland and forest supporting up to 13 Roman Villas. There were possibly as many Celtic Iron Age Farms along its 22 miles. \nThis walk seeks to search for\, celebrate and uncover some of the more hidden and inaccessible\, using dowsing and other experimental archaeology techniques – inspired by the watery leyline theories of Guy Underwood elucidated in his book Patterns of the Past and the Celtic map theories of Graham Robb. This is a walk that delves into the pre-Roman origins of London and its hidden energies. At the same time\, we can enjoy walking this section and looping back into the world of another visionary – Samuel Palmer who painted his most arresting works in Shoreham. \nPlease bring suitable clothes and walking shoes for changeable Spring Weather – plus a light picnic/packed lunch. We ask all participants on the walk to sign up here on eventbrite and give a small donation to support the creative community work of our collective artist-led project.

SUMMARY:Inspiral - the end to the beginning. Three walks on segments 34\, 35\, 36
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday 24th April: Quarries\, Chalk and Pit/falls – Join Artist and amateur geologist Gail Dickerson on segment 34 of Inspiral Trail for an exploration of all things chalky and geological by Riddlesdown Quarry near Kenley Station to walk across chalk towards New Addington. This will be a fun interactive riddling walk\, exploring InspiralLondon Trail through the eyes of an artist inspired by geology. \nApart from the large quarries such as the site of Riddlesdown – Kent was riddled with smaller diggings and caverns such as the infamous deneholes whose origin and ubiquity on the outer skirts of London and onto the Downs\, remained a riddle in the 19thC. Sudden collapses and sinking could occur anywhere our ancestors might have quarried for chalk and flint. See for  Darenth Valley example. \nFurther information on deneholes can be accessed here. \nFor the walk we meet at 11 am Kenley Station on Sunday 24th April. The walk will end at New Addington at 4pm where there are transport links into central London. \nPlease bring suitable clothes and walking shoes for changeable Spring Weather plus a picnic. We ask all participants on walk to sign up here on eventbrite and give a small donation to our collective artist-led project. \n \nOn 30th April Reveil 9 Pitcher Walk – a soundcamp inspired walk streaming across North Southwark to arrive at Stave Hill Ecology Centre around 12/12.30pm for a welcome lunch.  \nWe will meet at Peckham Rye Station at 10.30 am to share InspiralLondon streaming – exploring through unexpected soundscapes\, some of the lost or hidden ecological infrastructure found across North Southwark as we move toward Reveil 9 base: along the lost waterway of Surrey Canal\, to Glengall Road (crossing Old Kent Road) across towards MillWall and the new greenway to Southwark Park – to walk from Canada Water then onto Stave Hill. \nPlease bring suitable clothes and walking shoes for changeable Spring Weather. We ask all participants on walk to sign up here/eventbrite and give a small donation to our collective artist-led project. \n \nOn 1st May: An Experimental Archaeology of Water: on the geodetic\, in dowsing for time. On segment 35\, with InspiralLondon Director and lapsed archaeologist Charlie Fox exploring watery leylines\, pre-Roman remains and the legacy of hidden civilisation located in waterborne energy lines. Meeting at Knockholt Station on Sunday May 1st at 11.30 am to finish walk at Eynsford Station around 4pm. \nThis section of the trail traverses some beautiful down land countryside and then cuts back towards London along the energy lines of the Darenth Valley\, as the river wends its’ way to Dartford. We will visit the Druid’s picnic spot\, orchid-filled ancient woods\, Lullingstone Hill Fort\, skirting the Roman Villa\, the Castle to end the first part of walking at Eynsford Station. \nDarenth apparently means ‘fed by streams where oak trees grow’ – but much of the spring sources of the old river have been captured by the Medway watershed and this river was in danger of almost dying\, starved of waters in the 1980’s. Since then conservation works and renewed care of this beautiful waterway means much of the valley is accessible. For the Romans and pre-Roman the valley was a rich mosaic of farmland and forest supporting up to 13 Roman Villas. There were possibly as many Celtic Iron Age Farms along its 22 miles. \nThis walk seeks to search for\, celebrate and uncover some of the more hidden and inaccessible\, using dowsing and other experimental archaeology techniques – inspired by the watery leyline theories of Guy Underwood elucidated in his book Patterns of the Past and the Celtic map theories of Graham Robb. This is a walk that delves into the pre-Roman origins of London and its hidden energies. At the same time\, we can enjoy walking this section and looping back into the world of another visionary – Samuel Palmer who painted his most arresting works in Shoreham. \nWe meet at Knockholt Station on Sunday May 1st at 11.30 am to finish walk either at Eynsford Station around 4pm or Shoreham Station around 5pm. \nPlease bring suitable clothes and walking shoes for changeable Spring Weather. We ask all participants on the walk to sign up here/eventbrite and give a small donation to support our collective artist-led project. \n  \nOur Blue Porcupine Trail Walk has been postponed until summer 2022.  \nIn Summer we will explore Gravesend and the beginning and end of Trail through an interactive search for the Blue Porcupine. A work created by artist Sarah Sparkes with Local Poet James M’Kay. You are invited to pay homage to former or contemporary fauna of the marshy landscapes by joining the Trail of The Blue Porcupine: \nThese four complimentary walks explore the depth geology\, hidden archaeology and mythic structure of landscape\, topography and place that is traversed as you walk slowly along sections of InspiralLondon 300 mile long trail. \n

SUMMARY:A Sleepwalker’s guide to Deptford - 4th March
DESCRIPTION:A Sleepwalker’s Guide to Deptford on Friday 4th March\n \nThe walk starts from 5.30pm – 7.30pm meeting by little Nans this FRIDAY 4th March with Mount Analogues Hypnagogic Light Machine to 8pmish at Badger Badger (both Little Nans and Badger Badger are close to Deptford Station). \na FREE artist-led walk around Deptford produced by InspiralLondon Sign up for ticket HERE\n \nFor this unique night walk you will need to bring your smart phone if you have one\, with headphones if possible. Mikey will be inviting you to join a Zoom Meeting. If you have a QR reader or equivalent app on your phone that will help. Everything will be explained\, and come to light\, on the night. For the live walk intro. HERE \nMikey Georgeson has also created a musical sound piece for the highstreet section of the walk which walkers will find through a QR coded “leafish” on a fishing pole they receive. The link is HERE \nDon’t forget to come wrapped up warm\, wear suitable clothing and bringing with you some  hypnogogic spirit. \n \nWe are delighted to invite you to take part in a trance-forming ritual\, animating the temporal substance of Deptford High Street and into the beyond. You will enter the automatic realm of the sleepwalker awakened via sonic frequencies broadcast on smart phone devise (please bring a mobile telephone and head-phone-buds/overears). Once in the trance reality of an emerging story we will delve down south towards the Brookmill flows taking in the Hours of the poet Johny Brown. Listen out for the trance-formative lyrical tones of Mikey himself whose first single opened with the words “Sometimes London don’t seem so appealing but maybe your lover is living in Deptford”. Our sleepwalk begins with an introduction from Professor Tony Sampson author of A Sleep Walkers Guide to Social-media and concludes with exclusive trial encounters with Mount Analogue’s Lucia No. 03 hypnogogic light machine further enhancing the vibes of empathetic entanglement our trance-forming ritual has summoned onto the plane of Deptford’s immanence. \nWhen you return to little Nan’s you can also to sample the Lucia No.3 cocktail to celebrate the Deptford light machine inaugural experience! \nWith one eye on the virtual urban experience this walk channels the trance-ritual mind of the walking group. The collective non-conscious is regarded as a precognitive or a more than human experience. It is an impersonal user experience that exceeds the filtering of individual phenomenal experience. Using smart phones (please bring headphones) this extra-embodied walk takes the social-media realm as something potentially materially vital and incorporates trance ritual song and somnambulistic poetry. In association with CCNI (the centre for critical neuroaesthetic interferences) and Mount Analogue we are delighted to be able to offer a trial of the cutting edge *Lucia No. 03\, advancing the transformational potentialities of Brion Gysin’s dream machine. Transformative trial sessions on thehypnagogic light machine will conclude the walk. The sleeper must awaken. \n*Please note the Lucia N°03 hypnagogic light machine is not a medical device. It is contraindicated for sufferers of strobe intolerance due to a psychological condition such as a psychosis\, anxiety disorder\, sufferers of photosensitive epilepsy or individuals who have medical conditions with tendencies to have epileptic incidents. Pregnant women and children under the age of 16 are not permitted to use the machine. Mount Analogue reserves the right to decline individuals access to the machine at any time. \nWalk approx. 1.5 miles long With Light Therapy offered at end. \nJoin us outside Little Nan’s Bar by Deptford Railway Station from 5.30pm\, the walk departs at 6pm and returns to Little Nan’s by the Station\, the walk will last approximately 1.5 hour including stops along the way. You are welcome to join us for as little or as long as you wish. \nPlease bring warm waterproof clothing suitable for March weather. \n \n
