The Walk & Map

When I started a search for a map of the River Chess walk route it became alot harder than I first thought. Searching for a map online may seem like an easy task, but to find a map on the net with co -ordnates is tricky. All the main options such as Google maps, Google latitude and so forth aren't the best choices to go for in my opinion. Luckily being that my dad is a very keen walker and map reader/collecter he showed me his Ordnance Survey map collection and I discovered the Explorer 172 map which covers the High Wycombe, Maidenhead and Richmansworth, East Chiltern Hills areas.



After carefully looking through the map we were able to find The River Chess walking route, so I scanned the section of the map into my computer and cropped it down to make it more easily acessable to follow when on the walk itself.



We started the walk from Mill Farm in Chenies Bottom and made our way through the fields and cut down to the left to gain better access to the river's edge. Once we reached Latimer Road we took the right hand road towards the church, then progressed into the town of Latimer and joined the rest of the path back through the fields we already came across and to the start again at Mill Farm.

Altogether I think the walk was a pretty good success. At first it was worringly difficult to try and piece together pairs of images that would express the meaning of macrocosom. To my luck there turned out to be more promising subject matters that I first antisipated. I feel that the final images I have chosen from this photoshoot have brought out the concept of macrocosom and microcosm, maybe not as strong as I hoped they could of been but im pleased with them none the less.
