It’s almost a year since TOPW was formed, so I’ve created a list of where we’ve been so far – it’s a long list!
I’ve also made sure there’s a gallery of pictures on each walk’s page, so check it out. If your photos aren’t there, check (a) they’re public, (b) they’re in the TOPW Flickr group, and (c) they’re tagged with the right code (e.g. TOPW:xx – check the walk’s post for the exact code).
