Weird Walk is a zine dedicated to the joys of walking.
As the creators describe it, walking is an act of 'active engagement with the British landscape and its lore'. The Imbolc 2021 issue attempts to answer the question of, 'Who owns the British countryside?', and features in particular an interview with Zakia Sewell, radio presenter and host of Radio 4 series My Albion, and a contribution by comedian and author Stewart Lee on Ithell Colquhoun, burial chambers and Lamorna. Contents include:
- Questing for Albion, by Zakia Sewell
- Boundary Sounds: Music for edgeland wanderings
- Painters & Pipers: Stewart Lee on the artists and ancient sites of West Penwith
- Dolmania: Hilltop magick in Dorset
- Know Your Neolithic: Old stones examined with Professor Vicki Cummings
- London Stone: The full weight of the lore
And many more! Here is the perfect zine for anyone who has ever savoured the joys of experiencing the land on foot.
