HOW TO DOWNLOAD AND EXPERIENCE THE EAST QUANTOXHEAD-KILVE SELF-GUIDED WALK

The East Quantoxhead to Kilve self-guided walk is now open! It’s FREE to download and FREE to use!

This self-guided walk runs off your smartphone – your smartphone is the magic portal to a parallel soundworld!

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE EXPERIENCE WHERE YOU HAVE FAST WI-FI ACCESS BEFORE EMBARKING ON THE WALK (it is probably possible, if you have mobile roaming data, to download the experience, well, anywhere, but in that case you need to take along a copy of the QR code – or have a picture of it on someone else’s phone, then follow the procedure below)

TO DOWNLOAD YOUR PHONE WITH THE WALK:

• at a fast wi-fi connection: on your smartphone search and download ‘SatsymphQR‘ from the Appstore (iPhone) or from Google Play (Android phones). It’s FREE!
• Open SatsymphQR. Choose ‘Scan QR’ and point camera at the QR below. This will download ‘EQHKILVE’ to your phone’s ‘library’.

Then print out the pdf map of the walk:

Then drive/walk/cycle to the start of the walk (the car park at East Quantoxhead). Once there, open SatsymphQR, look in ‘library‘ and open ‘eqhkilve‘. If you look at your screen, the soundpools containing the ‘onboarding’ and all the poems are visible as pulsating coloured blobs. GO FIND!

The poems start automatically – they are triggered by your phone’s GPS, so make sure this is enabled on your phone (on an iPhone it’s ‘settings/privacy & security/location services‘).

The important thing is PLAY WITH THE POEMSCAPE – see how it reacts to where you are and which way you face! This is a highly sophisticated sonic experience – there is not just one ‘correct’ way to navigate it!

PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN USING THE APP and don’t get lost in the soundworld – stay well away from the cliff edges and watch out for other people, dogs, any obstacles etc! Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear – this is a min. 2hr walk in the open air and the weather can change rapidly!
