Welcome to Walkclickmake

David Firman, photographer, writer and creator of WalkClickMake. I'm usually behind the camera which makes this photo fairly rare. Thanks to my wife, Gail Perry for taking it (we were on the Camino de Santiago) and, more importantly, editing the text for every post!

THIS SUNDAY AT 1:00 PM: JOIN GAIL AND ME FOR OUR WALK TO THE AIRPORT! October 20, 2019 The tour starts at 1:00 PM Meet at 521 Raglan Road (in Wolseley) It looks like Sunday will be a pleasant fall day. So why not join us as we wind our way to Winnipeg’s James Richardson International Airport. Here’s our pitch: It’s a crazy idea, something you’re not supposed to do. But walking to YWG, whether for pleasure or to catch a flight, is entirely possible. We’ve done it. For the adventure of exploring places normally off the pedestrian road map. And for kick-starting a travel-light, carry-on-only vacation to Europe. Want to try it, too? Then join walkers David Firman and Gail Perry on a 3-hour round trip, starting in the Wolseley neighbourhood and winding through residential, commercial and industrial areas to James Richardson International Airport. We’ll return by way of Omand’s Creek, as it takes us by strip malls and big box stores — all those place you usually drive to — and through surprising stretches of restored prairie. En route, we’ll explore such architectural gems as St. James Church, find hidden vest-pocket parks, investigate austere industrial parks and reflect on airports lost and new. But, most importantly, we’ll take ownership of places in our city where no pedestrian was meant to tread. And, who knows? Maybe your next Hawaiian junket will start with a jaunt to the airport. This will be a longish walk of about 12 kilometres, entirely on sidewalks, paved paths or compacted gravel trails. There is an option to walk just half the distance by taking a bus or taxi back from the airport to the starting point. You’ll want good walking shoes. And it’s a good idea to bring a small backpack, water, a hat or toque and jacket. The tour is normally accessible for wheelchairs, bicycles and strollers.The path is paved along its entire length with the exception of the gravel Omand’s Creek Greenway, which generally has a smooth flat surface but maintenance of the path is not always up to scratch. This walk is sponsored by Winnipeg Architecture Foundation. @wpgarch #winnipeg #airport #walking @ywgairport #backpacking

Walking to Rome: Via Francigena Day 17 I am jumping forward in time with this post from Day 17 of our Via Francigena pilgrimage. This is the last day of our walk, at least for this season. With our arrival at the small and somewhat industrial town of Tergnier, we will move on by train to Laon, then Reims for an overnight stay and then to London via the Eurostar chunnel train for a few days before finally returning to Winnipeg. But this is not the end of our Via Francigena adventure. We will return next spring to continue further south through France and, in subsequent trips, eventually find ourselves on the doorstep of the Vatican. So stay tuned. In the meantime, here is the last glorious day of walking through the French countryside, past Art Deco churches built on the ruins of World War One's devastating battles, along the bucolic San Quentin Canal and to the train station in Tergnier. We passed through rain, walked muddy paths and into bright sunshine. It lifted our spirits as the day's walk unfolded and left us wanting for our pilgrimage to continue. Till next year, David and Gail A final note: my post will continue, backtracking to Day 11 of our walk and continuing forward, once I have returned to Winnipeg in early October. #photowalk #pilgrimage #viafrancigena #landscapephotography #artdeco
