British Summer Time is a series of short sunrise walks in consideration of the time change. Over fourteen seasons, walkers from across Europe, Asia and the Americas have walked the dawn with me. You can join from anywhere in the world for one walk, all of them, or anywhere in between.
Its a simple process:
1. Go for a walk from fifteen minutes before sunrise until fifteen minutes after.
2. Share your sunrise through email or social media.
Season 14 will begin when the USA starts Daylight Saving Time and continue 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: 8 March - 29 March 2026
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. Please share your results however you like, on social media (#WalkBST #WalkingArtistsNetwork), through email (blakemwalks@gmail.com), or in a way I may not have considered.
