Long walks through towns, cities and ordinary weeks

Pulenaz: connecting places over weekends

Transport for London lists the Capital Ring as a route in sections, including Wimbledon Park to Richmond Bridge, then Richmond Bridge to Osterley Lock, and Osterley Lock to Greenford. These linked endpoints make a continuous piece of the larger route possible over separate days.

Pulenaz walks those three sections over successive weekends. She ends the first at Richmond Bridge and begins the second at that same bridge, then picks up at Osterley Lock for the third. Her film leaves the gaps between weekends visible: the continuity comes from the meeting endpoints, not an uninterrupted trip.

On the first day she follows the transition from park paths to the riverside and ends among the streets near the bridge. On the next, she stops for a drink at the end before noting the starting point for her next walk. The sections create a long journey through connected places while leaving the other days of the week free.

Julie Falconer: a long walk across London

Julie Falconer writes that she has walked from South Kensington to Tower Hill, and separately from Chelsea to Rotherhithe, photographing places she encountered along the way. Those cross-city journeys are a direct fit for someone who wants streets and neighborhoods rather than wilderness.

Her collection also includes a South Kensington to Soho walk and a Westminster to Tower Bridge walk. These published routes give readers different ways to explore London, while the cross-city journeys show the places she encountered and photographed between their endpoints.

Dixie: what happens between endpoints

Jessica “Dixie” Mills’s trail diaries give meals, encounters and changes of plan space alongside the walk. In one selected account she stops in a town for supplies, compares notes with another walker and adjusts her afternoon plan. The conversation and the stop add a social texture that a finish-line photograph cannot convey.

Pulenaz is the stronger pick for linked stages around an ordinary week, while Falconer makes the city itself the subject. Dixie offers a longer journey narrative in which what happens along the way matters; it need not be a pilgrimage to satisfy that interest.
