An experience for creatives and the general public. The routes are relatively short, the emphasis being on the journey taken rather than the destination. A process of looking, listening, responding individually and collectively and sharing time together, uniquely designed and guided by a local creative.

meet 11am at Parkend Railway station, Parkend
