A photo of the labyrinth in operation. As you can see it looks a little congested. This could be reduced by reducing the number of stations and/or by taking out some of the boundary lines so that the spaces at the stations are larger.
I was very pleased with how it went, and have some ideas for improving it in future. Ideally the solution for the congestion problem would be to increase the width of the paths from 0.5 mtr to, say, 0.7 mtr, but that would increase the floor space required. As mentioned earlier this is a problem where we are. I am probably going to do another labyrinth in February in Salisbury, but whether I can muster energy to make new mats is another question.

Thanks to those who have commented ideas and suggestions. I will change the station about the buried talents, as Richard commented.
I am also going to start using the meditation on page 7 of Jonny Baker (and others) book Alternative Worship. Then I think I will use the slideshow of the world today (I made this some time ago and have used it twice) with "Where is the love?" and "I will" as a soundtrack. I think these two songs represent different human responses, the first of anger (look at all the horrible things they are doing) and the second is that ostrich response (I will lay me down, in a bunker underground)...but we are called to neither of these, as tempting as they are.

D-Day -1. Woke in the night and remembered that I have not done anything about arranging to borrow the data projector. This in itself is not insurmountable (but you know what its like when you are half awake).

I have added a "Making a labyrinth" category, so that at a later date it should be possible to come back and find these posts more easily.
Some thoughts so far...

I have now designed a labyrinth pattern based on a 3 x 4.5 mtr rectangular space. I have added numbers to indicate those places where a station could be sited. There are also two grey squares which I intend to use for either plants (something decorative) or a tall display space to add some height when looked at from outside.
