I tried Dérive App today, choosing the Urban deck to play with.

The first instruction I was given was:

1. Find a one-way and walk in the opposite direction.

I was not sure where I'd find a one-way street, but found one, at Castle Street. I walked up it, passing a strange flower. I then finished Dérive 1715 by mistake and started again.

Inspired by

ultraruby mentioning MapMyWalk and Mat sharing GPS tracks of a rude picture, I decided to try GPS drawing an animal. The tracks captured were not quite as accurate as I had hoped, and there were buildings and traffic in the way of where I wanted to walk sometimes, but anyway, it's a first attempt. It did lead me to places I had never been before.
