Limehouse Basin....these moorings were built for the now defunkt boat services to the Olympic Park (Water Chariots).

The Environmental Impact was assessed, and was decided by The Secretary of State. However, these moorings are not in use, one year on....all part of the Legacy of the 2012 Games?

Bee Leys

Bees navigate by trial and error, getting closer and closer to the best routes. Somebody should point out that such methods are hard, NP hard, since this is probably the same problem as the travelling salesman.

Do they make a beeline for nectar?

Ley lines were forged by men, but it is my guess that they did not just work out a route by some mysterious method. They simply walked, and noticed, the next time they walked that route if a small deviation made the route shorter. This was obvious, since it took less time to get from the starting point to the final destination.

Meet Rose Rouse

An article in the Psychogeographic Review reviewed the work of Rose Rouse

"Rose set up her website to record her explorations of Harlesden and, through the words of the people she walks and speaks with, uses the site to allow Harlesden to speak to the world.

Rose is a gonzogeogrpaher. She interacts.

Iterate me up!

Guy Debord wrote Introduction to a Critique of Urban Geography in 1955, the year I was born.

I am beginning to grow up. I feel that Debord may have been going in the wrong direction. He seems to be lost and wondering, without a purpose.

He was walking alone, a flaneur... maybe he would have better off with group to guide him.

Debord says "The word psychogeography, suggested by an illiterate Kabyle as a general term for the phenomena a few of us were investigating around the summer of 1953, is not too inappropriate."
