The River Fleet was physically mapped through earth, water and rock when I journeyed along its course this February.
A mixture of cycling, walking and swimming along, and in the Fleet (yes, at 3°C it was more of a plunge than a true swim) but allowed a full engagement of a less likely path thorough London.
A nod to Tom Bolton’s (2012) London’s Lost Rivers – A Walkers Guide, (Strange Attractor Press, London) for his invaluable insights and weaving mapesque drawings. I couldn’t have done it without you Tom, what a book!
These items were collected and a painting made. This abstract mapping or drawing is one of many possible summaries of that path.
