Replace your morning scroll with a morning stroll.

British Summer Time is a series of short sunrise walks in consideration of the time change. Over eleven seasons, walkers from across Europe and the Americas have joined me to explore the dawn. You are invited to join me from anywhere in the world. The process is simple, just go for a walk from fifteen minutes before sunrise until fifteen minutes after, and share your sunrise through email or social media. Join for one walk, all of them, or anywhere in between.

Starting the day the USA switches to Daylight Saving Time until the UK switches to British Summer Time, I will walk from 15 minutes before sunrise until 15 minutes after. 

Please join me by doing the same wherever you are.

Dates: 9 March - 30 March 2025
Time: From 15 minutes before sunrise until fifteen minutes after.
Location: Wherever you happen to be.
Share: I take a picture at the beginning, middle and end of my walk, but you can feel free to document it any way you please. You can email your results to blakemwalks@gmail.com, and/or share them on social media using #WalkBST #WalkingArtistsNetwork
