Thanks to Jamie Durrant for this amazing picture.
See if you can work out where they are on your walk.

From Russ:
A guilty conscience forces me to make a contribution here, to share my admiration of this great photo, and to add to the remarks made by Norman.
Actually, I think the whole impetus for the Guildford Explorativity Walk/Adventure was Norman's doing really - as was his vital nudging of my thinking around the time when the notion of "explorativity" arose (that's all in the book, so I won't go into it here). Certainly, the Three Men In A Boat concept was his! But as with all explorative things, the process by which the walk was subsequently planned, rehearsed and then developed was in itself an example of a creative, emergent learning experience and of the concept of explorativity itself.
Norman emailed me before Christmas with a page of imaginative effusions on the possibility of providing a real-life opportunity for people to undergo an explorative experience and to reflect on it in an appropriate context. His suggestion was a combination of brilliant inspiration and mulled wine, I think. However, we discussed it all in the cold light of day and decided that there was indeed scope for some real learning and fun, if we could get the right components in place.
How I approached the challenge
The process was fairly straightforward, in fact. A bit of thinking alone; some lively conversations with people; a couple of walks through Guildford in deeply thoughtful mode; some inspiration and serendipitous discoveries; lots of exciting ideas, and then the process of refining and organising all that had been learnt along the way, to produce something ready for presentation.
If I can work out how to do it, I will attach a PowerPoint slide show with the threads of this final stage self-evident...
