With these regulations, the side I entered the shop changed, the time I'd spend waiting to enter the shop changed, the route I would walk to get my drink changed, my entire mentality around this simple task changed. It brought order to a situation which was utterly chaotic. [9/15]

The most often reason I would be outside during the lockdowns was to buy a drink from my local Tesco. This walk pre-lockdown would be quick and direct to the aisle in the shortest route possible. This all changed however as social distancing regulations were put in place. [8/15]

I couldn't find anything that interesting. After a lengthy and failed search for Greek-made Greek yoghurt, I decided to go to the chocolate section and picked up a Kinder Bueno. My walk through the shop was very erratic and I was in close proximity to others which contrasts with lockdown... [7/15]

As I made my way to the Tesco, I spent quite a lot of the time thinking about what I would buy. I am usually quite structured with my food and don't do much exploring outside of my comfort zone and so it was quite a change of pace. This continued into the Tesco where... [6/15]

It was a very calming experience and rather quiet which allowed me to do another task in the process, hugging a tree! I was apparently quite the tree-hugger when I was younger and I have a rather good memory of doing so when my relatives from New Zealand had come over and so it fit perfectly. [5/15]

My next task had me searching for food. I have a very consistent route to my local Tesco and so I thought I'd take a longer yet much more green route by the river. Growing up in a town built primarily in the industrial period, I've always much preferred walking through greenery. [4/15]

The first place this drift took me was to the top of 'the Mound', a quite impactful feature in the local environment yet one I had only been up once near the start of my time at University. Last time I looked East so this time I looked West to a crane that seemed to tower over even this. [3/15]

First, I will talk about my experience with the Derivé App. Using the 'Everyday Adventures' pack, which was based on the book by Lonely Planet, I decided to go on a walk around Durham. Throughout the thread you will see what I did before going to Tesco. [2/15]

The Psychogeography of Direction: Drift vs. Order. This thread seeks to use the concept of psychogeography to contrast experiences between my anecdotes of lockdown and my recent use of Derivé App as it relates to walking to and in Tesco. [1/15] @ducontemparch.bsky.social #DUcontemparch
