Weird Walk is a zine dedicated to the joys of exploring the British Isles on foot.
As described by the editor, this is the zine’s ‘most arboreally fixated pamphlet yet.’ Britain is home to many iconic tree species, making them a critical part of the landscape and the enjoyment of walking in the British Isles. The articles in this issue focus on how landmarks create an emotional response in appreciators of them, drawing together ecology, culture, and folklore (including the folklore of cheese!) Contents include:
Welcome My Friends: to the zine that never ends
