I have difficulty slowing down since I am used to cycling, moving faster through the natural environment. The Silent walking was particularly strange as part of a group. Walking up a steep hillside, I was made aware of the sound of participants breathing and the grit sone sand and rocks underfoot<a href=\"#_ftn1\">[1]<\/a>. It was also interesting to experience [or participate in] Alison&#8217;s practice. She walks and documents herself and others within the landscape. Alsion&#8217;s work embraces chance elements and often shows part of her bag or the camera release cable<a href=\"#_ftn2\">[2]<\/a>.  We were given cameras with which we could try out some black and white 35mm photography experiments [See the results here&#8230;].<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CQT2CRplupC\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

I have never really\nthought about its history, how or why these boundaries came into being. It&#8217;s\neasy to take for granted having these fantastic places to walk on our doorstep\nhere in Manchester. The experience made me think about my own psychological\nboundaries. My project with Gallery Oldham takes place through walking and\ncycling, avoiding using a car or public transport. The space in which I work is\ndefined by my fear of heavy traffic, my physical fitness, and how far that\nallows me to travel in a given time frame. I am constrained by cycle-safe routes,\ncanal paths and footpaths, which avoid traffic. Oldham was somewhere I rarely\nvisited since the ride to get there is via a series of unpleasant main roads or\na long and slow trip via public transport. These factors have set up a\npsychological barrier. Through my explorations, I have now discovered an almost\nentirely traffic-free route to get there. The psychological barrier is\ndissolving; what was once remote and is accessible is slowly being subsumed\ninto my &#8216;local&#8217; accessible space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of my Bryophytes project [Moss bothering], I have been planning\nwalks based on my fieldwork. Thinking about ways to share and document these, I\nhave been recording memory maps, making verbal directions, and creating maps\nfrom GPS data. Learning about and experiencing Alison&#8217;s work made me think\nabout my own relationship with maps. I usually use my phone for navigation, but\nI have more recently started to take my OS map instead. I seem to have\nforgotten about it. My map is 15 years old, and even over that time, many of\nthe trails have been blocked or moved [or removed] to accommodate shifting\nboundaries and new buildings and roads. One site I visited [where mosses had\npreviously been collected] had been transformed into a golf course, where\nmosses are no longer welcome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This experience has made me reflect on my experiments in <a href=\"http:\/\/antonyhall.net\/blog\/an-introduction-to-the-meanderdelta-method\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">&#8216;meandering&#8217;, a form of walking research<\/a><a href=\"#_ftn3\">[3]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n[which also serves as a metaphor for my own practice more generally]\n\n\n\n<p>.
