Who we are
Rachel Escott and David Steel are partners in business and on this walk (we’re married too, which helps). Back home, we act as consultants in the arts and in large business transformation; we also operate a more creative side of our business, linking our work in the arts to fiction, journalism and photography.

Our walk
In 2008, we are putting the creative side to the fore, allowing the experiences on our ‘very long walk’ to generate material for our writing and our photography work, respectively. The year will be a time of reflection, to generate energy and insights long into the future.

How to get news of our ‘very long walk’
We hope to write a column here each week, with impressions of the places we’ve walked through and the people we’ve talked to – and what this challenging walk is teaching us. Our itinerary is below and we’ll post up photos when we can.
We invite you to support us during 2008 by donating directly to the charities we support through PM&M Consulting Solutions Ltd.
Part of the experience will be the people we share it with – if you fancy joining us at any point for a day or a few, leave a message in 'comments' to see if we can meet up.
