Five years ago Andy and Pete did a series of walks across Birmingham in straight lines, a project they called Cross City Walks. To mark this half-decade anniversary they put their thoughts into a short documentary.

Photo walks in March
Pete’s Photo Walks continue next month with Bournville on Saturday 7th and Jewellery Quarter on Sunday 29th. They’re £10 per person and you can book here.
These walks are for photographers of all types, from cameraphones to hefty DSLRs and are geared towards slowing down and looking at our surroundings.
They’re also themed based on the location. Bournville looks at the history of this garden suburb, built by the Cadbury family in the style of an English village. It’s undeniably beautiful but what was involved in maintaining this idyl?
The Jewellery Quarter walk looks at attempts to preserve the industrial heritage of the district in the face of rapid regeneration, but who’s heritage is being saved and what is being forgotten in the process?

A Winter Solstice wander
I organised a dawn group walk on the Winter Solstice starting at the mysterious Bordesley Henge and finishing at Witton Cemetery. I was joined by Jonny, Kerry, Kevin, Phil and Shane.
Land in Curiosity invited me to post a photo essay account on their blog.
