 Dear walking colleagues,
 
 For some time I have been dreaming about a long walk from
 Holland to a bridge in Slovakia where I worked as an
 artistic Bridge Guard in 2005. It is where I did my first
 walking project. After that one, many followed.
 Recently I discovered that Patrick Leigh Fermor made a
 similar walk, from Holland to the exact same bridge and
 wrote a wonderful book about it, A Time of Gifts. I didn't
 know it, but apparently he is regarded as "Britain's
 greatest living travel writer". I read some of his other
 books recently including his biography and he did indeed
 live an extraordinary life. 
 
 This made me decide to make my walk in 2015, 10 years after
 I walked up and down that bridge and 100 years after Patrick
 Leigh Fermor was born.
 I will wear a three piece walking suit, as I usually do (and
 it also appears Paddy, as he was called, liked to be well
 dressed).
 
 There will be an exhibition in Slovakia or Hungary (the
 bridge crosses the Danube and connects the two countries),
 maybe in Holland and I would very much like to organize
 something in London, the city where Patrick Leigh Fermor was
 born. I am not that familiar with the art scene in London,
 so I would like to ask you if you have any tips, places or
 people I could contact, who might be interested in
 helping/hosting/programming a
 presentation/exhibition/lecture. And if there is anything
 else you would like to share with me, please do.
 
 Thank you!
 Best
 Monique Besten
