Want to know more about the team behind Slow Ways? Several of us have done some really peculiar, off-the-wall things, and we’d love to invite you to hear about the past lives being channelled into the Slow Ways vision.

From walking around Britain wearing brain sensors, heading off on a six-month epic with a donkey called Chico, uncovering the underbelly of cities as a renegade guide, or being plunged alone into the Canadian wilderness for a survival TV show, we’ll bare all!

Each session one of the team will interview another, plus there will be time for a Q and A so you can ask – how did that help create a national walking network?!

Starting with Daniel Raven-Ellison - Tuesday 3rd December, 7-8pm

Dan is the founder of Slow Ways. He has a delicious back catalogue of intriguing and provoking geography projects, including walking 1,686km across all of the UK’s national parks and cities with an electroencephalogram on his head to record six different emotions as he explored. He created the National Park City movement in London and #100seconds films about land use. And he used to be a geography teacher! Find out about how all of these things led him to have the epiphany that became Slow Ways, and get the chance to grill him yourself!

Daniel will be interviewed by Hannah Engelkamp.

Eva Outram - Thursday 9th January 7-8pm - Interviewed about her time on reality TV show Alone
