48 page A5 zine Printed on high quality recycled stock
Here we come a-wassailing Among the leaves so green; Here we come a-wand'ring So fair to be seen.
Grab a mulled cider and join us as we honour the winter solstice, bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new with the sixth issue of our zine.
Wander through the magical woodland of Savernake Forest, and explore Lundy, an island wreathed in myth. Come on a doom (metal) stroll with Archer Sanderson, and witness the collision of contemporary art and ancient megaliths with Jeremy Deller, a true weird walking inspiration if ever there was one.
Winter is upon us… may your hearth be warm and your Yule log bright.
Weird Walk is a zine that tries to intersect walking the British isles with a particularly weird bent, recognising how culture, history, folklore and the landscape all relate to each other.
Compared to previous issues, there was nothing that felt particularly heavy going or difficult to get to grips with, but at the same time one could argue that this issue has the most 'fluff' content compared to others. (I am not sure where I am going with this heavy / fluff analogy).
The zine seemed to have relatively little content related to walking too, which I didn't mind, but kind of detracts from the purpose of the zine. There seemed to be quite a few music pieces, one about a zine in the 90's and a walkers guide to Doom. Now to be fair, I love me some doom metal and I enjoyed the article and had their doom playlist on whilst reading but I guess isn't going to be for everyone.
I also quite enjoyed a short piece about trespassing, and another about very old trees. I must be getting soft, because I quite felt I wanted to dance around a tree whilst upsetting gamekeepers.
