I also like the French errer - meaning both to wander and to err.  So maybe errancy may find a place in the walking lexicon.

Some more suggestions:

Surrogate Walk/Walker: a walk undertaken on behalf of someone who can no longer walk.

First-Foot: the first person across the threshold on New Years eve (bringing good luck and carrying objects such as coal, a coin, salt, drink  and song). Quaaltagh or qualtagh in Manx Gaelic. 

Beating the Bounds (going-a-ganging): walking the bounds of the parish on Rogation Day.

Sleepwalking/Somnambulism: walking while asleep.

Life-Event Walk: a walk undertaken to emplace, re-image and transform (in the smallest of ways) a life-event. Relates to pilgrimage undertaken for a rites-of-passage.


Best wishes, 
Louise.

Hello WANers,

there is of course the german word Wanderlust, which can never be really translated. It is normally translated into itchy feet. But it is the 'lust to wander'.

There is also another german word called Fernweh; literally translated it means Farsick. But it is the opposite of Homesick. in the dictionary they translate it as wanderlust (haha) or itchy feet.

Hello WAN people,

I would like to add a Turkish word, tabanvay.
This jocularly made-up word is currently in the dictionary. It connects taban (meaning sole in English) and the English word way, thus meaning sole-way.
I like this word because it emphasizes the fact that walking is a mode of transportation (like tramway etc.) and is used to point out that someone went somewhere afoot, thus on tabanvay.

Best,

nazlı

Great idea,

Here two contributions from Huntly to start with:

Slow Marathon - a marathon length walk in Huntly/Aberdeenshire and other places, where people can walk as slow as they like. Celebrating the human pace, it is both an endurance event as well as a poetic act that brings together friendship, physical activity and an appreciation of our varied landscapes.

The Walking Institute: A peripatetic school for the human pace - it explores, researches and celebrates the human pace by bringing walking and other journeying activities together with arts and other cultural disciplines and people from all walks of life.

Hi Andrew,   
Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. 
 
What a wonderful idea! I hope this is the kind of contribution you are looking for.

Happy Friday! 
 
Can we walking artists pull together a dictionary or glossary of walking art?
 
I’m guessing that those with PhDs on the topic may already have such a thing and can give us a springboard for a starter.
 
Happy to collate off list although I think interactions across the list will be a worthy catalyst and memory jogger 
 
Definitions limited to 200 characters so we could Tweet them at some point to broaden interest in walking art 
 
Also looking for expressions/idioms etc linked to walking e.g. down at heel
 
I’m trying out ‘shuffle’ as my word eg ‘Largactyl shuffle’ a walk to raise awareness of mental health issues 
 
Looking forward to my inbox filling up
