Hi all.
I hope anyone who went to Explore 2012 at the RGS, enjoyed it and got inspired to take their plans and trips forward.
Each year I am amazed by the range of areas of interest that relate back to geography and journeys, and particularly there is an increase in the number of people planning to take art-related, personal, and reflective journeys and documenting them in novel ways.
In other news, I have moved my site from Wordpress to use open source software 'Drupal', to allow me to better filter, categorise, and arrange my writings.
Increasingly, I am interested in why and how design and adventure are so interconnected and how this relates to wider questions, like how to deal with climate change, so I rearranging my content to related what I think is important that is emerging from my enquiries.
My book about cycling from England to Georgia with Tom and Mark is available at http://www.lulu.com/gb/en/shop/andy-welch/weave-of-the-ride-cycling-from-england-to-sakartvelo/paperback/product-20304192.html
I am planning on setting up a kickstarter campaign to support the development of a phone app version of my resource and skills sharing app Wequest. View the online prototype at http://www.wequest.co.uk. Please do get in contact if you think you may be able to help me to work on this. My time is limited these days and I need all the support I can get!
Please do drop me a mail to say hi, or for any other feedback related to my writing, the book, or other questions you may have at an...@slowquest.co.uk.
Cheers
Andy Welch
