Walks and walkshops for you to enjoy in May View this email in your browser We are in to May, national month of walking - some say they want the end of May on the 8th June, others that May could run on for another 5 years - whichever way you lean, we have 26 days full of events to keep you entertained, informed and healthy. The triptych of photos above, all taken on a recce of our Stalking Mulberries in the East End walkshop for Monday 15th May, give a hint to what is coming from the Museum of Walking during May. Are there no ends that Peter Coles will take to Stalk a Mulberry (or any tree for that matter)? Here you see him in a pub, eschewing the bar, and instead stretching to capture a fish-eye photo of an elusive East End mulberry, entrapped in an inaccessible courtyard.   In all, we will be Stalking Trees with Peter on half a dozen different occasions this month - we can’t wait to find where he will take us next - why not join us? A glimpse inside the Whitechapel bell foundry, threatened with development, all the workers have already been made redundant, but they still keep making bells. Is this another example of heritage soon to be lost? Tom Bolton will reveal lost heritage in nearby Norton Folegate and Cripplegate on the 17th May, and Alan Tucker is out and about in Mile End and Hackney Wick on the 11th & 14th May (see STOP PRESS below). The tolling of the bells, brings us round to our regular First Monday Sound Salon that this month, leapt a week, and runs on the 8th May, while on the 25th May it is time for Sounding out Greenwich, our next seasonal Sense Safari.  There are a couple of opportunities to sniff and snort on the 23rd May, on ourFollow your Nose smellscape walkshops too.   Can you: Capture Clerkenwell  in just 17 syllables a 3 line haiku?
