Through a gate into the woods

One project I'm currently working on is the creation of a woodland walk leaflet for the Roald Dahl Museum in my home village of Great Missenden, where Dahl himself lived.  The leaflet will offer a self-guided walk, with suggestions for family activities to do along the way, gathered from earth education practice and a few artist friends of mine.




On Wednesday, Feroze from the museum and I walked the route to test out the directions I'd written, which mostly worked but need a couple of tweaks.




It's thoughtful and green of the museum to encourage visitors to get out and enjoy the local countryside while they're here; and helpful to our high street economy if visitors stay local for longer.



Great Missenden is at the heart of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty:  the landscape is always appealing, but it's unlikely that many visitors to the village will see it looking quite like this. 



The world was stunning in black and white on Wednesday.

It has been a pleasure working with Outdoor Culture in order to design this trail. Having been on the walk, I can safely say you have come up with a brilliant route and if people enjoy it half as much as I did, we will have succeeded!
