		The remapping is to be undertaken in collaboration with community groups in High Wycombe by staging a psychogeograpical event, a walk, a ‘derive‘ within the boundary of the re-development area, the results of which will be used to animate the town centre with a temporary art installation.

	Around Wycombe and the Chilterns Photo Gallery by Ray Pettit at pbase.com
		I'm in New Zealand but hail from Wycombe originally (although was born in Amersham and laterly lived in Reading) Great to see so many great shots of the homeland here.
		I often scour the Web for (nostalgic) pictures of Wycombe & the surrounding locale as I do suffer from homesickness (imagine that, yes, it's possible to miss Wycombe!) Your photography & selection of images is by far the best I've encountered & made life (for today at least) just that bit more bearable.
		I haven't been to High Wycombe since I was a child but my father's family came from there, also West Wycombe and Penn (where I have traced some ancestors back to the 17th century).
