mysterious trolleys are surely a landmark of British agriculture by now!

Yes! I decided to create it this way as it allowed me to think through the structure of my 'structureless' walk and demonstrate my thoughts/ how it impacted my views of Durham in a less traditional way which I felt is what this exercise called for!

I enjoyed this task as it allowed me to think about not only where our rubbish comes from but where it will end up; for example the glass bottle needs to be disposed of differently from the crisp packet. In terms of how we treat our rubbish, I kept the glass bottle and put flowers in it! (10/10)

My two items were a packet of crisps purchased from a local corner shop and a bottle of cherry wine. These were very interesting as the crisps were manufactured in India and aren't something i've seen in a corner shop before, this demonstrates the influence of globalisation in our shopping. (9/10)

Finally, I conducted a 'Rubbish Diary'. taking two pieces of Rubbish and analysing their packaging in order to learn about their origins. I created a PowerPoint presentation to do this: (8/10)

I found countermapping to be a very informative experience, as it allowed me to consider firstly the 'areas' of Durham that I existed in and also what kind of spaces have become important to me during my time here. What I appreciated about this task was that it was so varied for everyone. (7/10)

My map consists of places that are of personal significance, places that I have spent a substantial amount of time in. This ranges from social places such as pubs and the cinema to other public spaces like the cathedral, that holds meaning for lots of people in different ways. (6/10)

My next project was a form of countermapping which I used google maps to create, here is it 2D:

My phone's health app said I did around 20,000 steps, and this demonstrated the proximity of nature and houses in Durham. It is also key to mention that as a woman, I may not have felt safe doing this at night whereas others may have, this is also key in considering how we move around spaces. (4/10)

Eventually, I arrived back in residential areas surrounding Gilesgate and started to notice important buildings such as the local primary school, this is an indication of how we as individuals move around spaces differently, as for some this will be an everyday stop. (3/10)

Along the way, I took note of things I wouldn't usually notice, but this in particular stuck me as out of place, and was also a great benchmark for my derive as it told me that I was getting closer to the shops (2/10)
