[Poll #632865]
See Experimental Travel for more details. I'm thinking that either sometime around lunchtime or 2pm would be a good time. Everyone will start at their own location, so it does not matter where you are, if you want to join in.

Instructions:
"A participant travels around a chosen location using a 10-stage set of common directions, taking notes and photographs to record their experiences at each stage. Where directions don't match the environs, improvise.
1) The first stage is your starting point.
2) Walk in any direction for 50 to 100 paces, and then turn 180 degrees.
3) Continue walking in that direction until you see something blue.
4) Make a left turn and walk 50 to 70 paces.
5) Walk in any direction until you see something that either is or looks like the number 7 or 11.
6) Take the first left, and continue walking until you find somewhere to sit.
7) Choose any direction and walk for 25 to 50 paces.
8) Continue walking until you see an unusual colour, shape or texture. Turn 180 degrees.
9) Keep walking in any direction until you see an archway or an unusual architectural feature.
10) Head for home, but continue looking for something that catches your eye."

It will give you something to do out in the countryside then. ;)

I'm sadly not blessed with a camera, but I'll give it a go anyway and write about or draw the interesting things! ^_^

It sounds like fun, but I can't do it until after christmas.

Unfortunately i'm a long way from any starting point you'd likely propose... though if i'm ever in the neighbourhood i'll let you know.

The starting point is wherever you are, your location.

So the whole doing it at the same time part is sort of arbitrary then?

Is it necessary to adjust for time zone differences? Or does everyone set out at their respective noons (or whenever)?

I figured people can choose whether they want to do it at their own respective noons or adjust for time zones. :)

2006 won the poll, so I guess I need to suggest an actual day and not just a year now. :)
