From a single underpass note to a city-wide grid

Our story is written in pavement miles - not boardrooms. Each chapter marks a shift in how London movers plan their hours outdoors.

01

First scout pass

Two friends mapped a dawn loop from Praed Street to the canal and back. The handwritten strip became our first shareable guide format.

02

Signal merge desk opens

We rented a small Tyburnia workspace to collate notes from volunteer walkers. Difficulty bands and turnaround icons standardised here.

03

Community relay pilots

Local clubs asked for chained segments with cafe anchors. We tested handoff timing without prescribing performance targets.

04

Field unit naming

Cartilagefaunabo became the public label for our guides - distinct from any single scout, owned by the collective process.
