Please join us for a Map Ramble that begins and ends at the Geffrye Museum, on Kingsland Road, London E2 8EA on Saturday 28 April 2007. Join us on a voyage of discovery.
Map Rambles are self-guided walks that incorporate themes inspired by events and exhibitions, in which participants explore areas and come together to discuss and map their experiences.
We’ve mapped an itinerary for the Ramble to entice you to join us:
10.00am The Museum opens (free entry) - Visit the exhibitions “At home in London” or “Home and Garden 1914-1960”, find out more from the museum's website
At the exhibition, mingle with fellow ramblers (you can identify them as they will be wearing a badge similar to the one that you will receive when you register), share thoughts, ideas and reactions to the exhibits.
11.00am Map ramble start – join fellow Map Ramblers at the Geffrye Museum Restaurant and Café - choose a themed Map guide, collect a sketch book, and set out in small groups, on a Ramble around the local streets, to collect your ideas.
Within walking distance are the streets of South Shoreditch with their heritage of furniture making, vibrant Brick Lane leading to Spitalfields, the intriguing neighbourhoods of Hoxton and Haggerston, linked by the Regent’s canal.
1.30pm reconvene at the restaurant at the Geffrye Museum, for a chance to share your discoveries with fellow Map Ramblers, including comparing and mapping your routes.
Afterwards, contribute your findings (sketches, photographs or recordings - please note we don’t provide equipment) here at the Map Ramble web log.
Email: Map Rambles to register.

Dodgy compass reading at the start of a Map Ramble?
Wild card - use a dodgy compass to choose in which direction to walk - obviously a Map Rambling novice 3 March 2007
Within in the court yard of the British Libary, a group of Map Ramblers practice sketching - taking it all too seriously.

Fried eggs
My maprambling task was to 'rename the streets'. My first thought on discovering the wall of fried eggs was that perhaps it didn't have to be an alphabetical renaming but maybe a collection of pictures unique to the site.
