The Project
Walk Swale Medway began with a continuous walk of nearly 3 weeks through Swale and Medway starting on 22 June, 2014. Using a mobile phone, I took pictures as I walked and posted them to Instagram using #walkSwaleMedway. Links were shared on Twitter.
As part of the original Walk Swale Medway three week walk, I relied on the kindness and hospitality of my neighbours in Swale and Medway. I took a few photos, heard stories and shared them here on Walk Swale Medway. Sometimes a friend recommended someone who could help.
The website includes a selection of writing and photographs featuring the places seen, the people met, and the stories heard along the way.
Walk Swale Medway continues to be an open ended invitation to take notice of and share where we live, connect with and contribute to our community
