‘Finding ourselves limited with few or no travelling opportunities during the ongoing Covid Crisis, we began looking back on previous movement in and around our own country and farther afield. We reassessed our own immediate environments and took our imaginations back to expeditions, meetings of minds, dream-travel and forms of travel: train, bus, plane, boat and by foot.’
