ABSTRACT
Work and travel are inextricably linked; after all, the word travel is derived from the French travail and the French word for day, journee, hints that each day is itself a journey. All writers in some way or another process their experience into words on a page. Any would-be writer moving through the landscape, especially on foot, is preceded by a bedraggled army, some divisions conducting a countryside campaign in the footsteps of Rousseau, Thoreau and Edward Thomas, while urban units are headed up by the Situationists and their present day descendants. The digital project resulted in a prototype that demonstrated a lot of potential, but has not, at the time of writing, reached a stage allowing it to be commercially released. Writing about books already between covers is one thing. Writing for new media has brought unaccustomed challenges, both aesthetic and technological, as well as glimpses of exciting new possibilities.
