But in the climbing ecstasy of thought,
Ere consummation, ere the final peak.
Nan ShepherdLondon based walking artist Simone Kenyon explored the former trading routes of the Hielan' Ways during autumn and winter 2013-14.
The Hielan' Ways network was undoubtedly structured around walking; the distances which could be covered at walking pace, from one place of significance to another. Inspired by the writing of Nan Shepherd–following in the footsteps of her sensibility, and of those who once lived this place–we asked if it would be possible to recreate a long distance path, reconnecting both locals and tourists with the area and its people.
