The Updated updated map

So here is the latest version of the trail map, which probably looks no different to the last one, but a tweek here and an adjustmant there, I think I might have even needed to move a tree at one point or a couple of red dots.

Canturbury City Council are hosting a networking event on the trail this Thurs 26th May. Things have started but most of it is not in place yet but I am looking forward to meeting friends and collegues talking about what will be installed while walking round. Other developments include possible sculptures with students from Christ Church University.

I have drawn up some initial ideas for two totem poles which will form the entrance feature showing animals that visitors will be likely to see. I have to say designing totem poles was a little harder than I anticipated. One pole had animals all with the same shaped ears and it was'nt working.

 


May Sticks. 'Living in fear of Arson',
a song title by Michele Shocked, which is true to say during this month in the woods, with large areas looking like scenes from sci fi movies
