[This post is stuck to the front page, as an introduction]
Descending is primarily a documentation of my overland trip from the London, UK back to Geraldton, Australia. I travelled overland (rail, road and some ferries) for over 3 months, but also unfortunately made two 1500km flights. ‘Descending’ refers to the journeys from north to south, high-carbon to low/zero-carbon lifestyles and a move towards increasing spiritual depth and engagement in the world.
This blog is at hosted at my ‘FlowingMu‘ address (the link explains name). I wrote in chunks – about characters, trains, landscapes, logistics etc.. This means if you are looking for things to read, it is probably best to click on the ‘tags’ in the ‘cloud’ in the right hand-column to get what you want. Or check the route-map and search for the names of places that sound interesting. Also check out ‘Logistics‘ for details of equipment and preparation, Sustainability and the other topic links at the top.
Enjoy, and if you have any questions or comments please get in touch.

Some musings on descending…
“We, who have always thought of joy as rising… feel the emotion that almost amazes us when a happy thing falls”
Rilke
quoted in The Hungry Tide by Amitav Ghosh

Hi Andrew, I think you found me so I have now found you back! Really interesting to read how you did a similar journey to me but from your perspective. You have a lot more useful information than me too, so I shall probably pass on all the people that ask me ‘how did you do it?’ to your blog. I am going to set up a link from my website too.
Good luck with everything.

Hi Andrew,
I found your blog while searching for Navdanya information, namely about their farm in Dehradun.
I found your experience very interesting, the way you faced and presented things and your concerns along the way.
Since I am planning for something similar, and I found my self identifying and sharing many of your views, I thought I could contact you for further tips if I may need…?
In the meantime… congratulations for achieving… one of your dreams!?
Best wishes!
Carpe diem
