Hello Ceri
You could get in touch with David Pinder at Queen Mary who runs an MA
course on art, performance and the city that has a great deal of
material on contemporary walking practices. He was also the convenor
of the special edition on walking in Cultural Geographies in 2005. His
email address is [log in to unmask]
Good luck with this.
