An informative walk of 4.6km through Earth's history, where each kilometre represents 1 billion years.

Please arrive a little before 09.30am by the crossroads at Chipperfield Road and Love Lane, so we can leave promptly at 09.30am. We'll finish back at the Common around 1.30pm.

The walk is a journey through 4.6bn years of Earth history, where each metre equates to 1 million years. It provides a deep experience that invites us to view the world differently, encouraging positive action for a regenerative Earth.

Starting at the formation of the solar system and the creation of Earth, we will cover the 18 most significant events and key revolutions in Earth's deep history, including the formation of the Moon, the oceans, the atmosphere, the evolution of Life, plate tectonics, the Cambrian Explosion, mass extinctions, dinosaurs and right at the end, our own species, humans - just in the last few centimetres!

A deep-time perspective invites us to consider not only how we imagine the future, but how the future will imagine us. It asks: “Are we being good ancestors? ”
