You wait ages for a post, and then three come along at once…The DVDs and CD-ROM from the Walk to School conference finally arrived on my desk this morning – it has taken far longer than I expected, but they are done now! I hope to get them out early next week – I need …
I bought a copy of the Mirror today. Not a paper I usually buy, but there was an article about walking to school in it – which I had written the press release for. My eye was drawn, however, by the story about lollypop people being armed with video cameras hidden in their lollypops as …

If you have actually spoke with me recently you will know that my vision for the Walk to Secondary School Campaign is centred around a whizzy website. I am currently developing the brief for this, and have been talking with school travel advisors, schools and website designers to get an idea of how it could …
