Guildford Action Capsule

room 9 ECHOES

Location: Guildford, Surrey, England, United Kingdom

Guildford, a riverside town in the heart of Surrey, boasts a stunning High Street with historic settings and beautiful architecture. With plenty of things to do, events, fabulous shopping and an array of pubs and restaurants, Guildford is a great place to visit.

What do you think of when you think of guildford? What are the people here like? How do they live? What do you think people think about you? What do you want people to know about you? What do you want to tell the world?

Students from the guildford school of acting worked in partnership with guildford action to create this piece of audio theatre. The stories you'll hear come directly from the community at guildford action. Prompted by questions about how they are perceived and what they would like to share with the world and a map of Guildford, together, they devised a tour giving an authentic view of life. We start here at Guildford action, the real ‘heart of Surrey’ for many people.

**Before you start:** 1. Make sure your phone has a good charge 2. Connect your headphones 3. When prompted, download the walk in advance, if you have access to wi-fi (the walk will also work in streaming mode) 4. The sound trail starts immediately outside Limnerslease – follow the path down to the road below and then onto The Chapel 5. Please be aware of traffic at all times, especially on the slip road leading to Down Lane *Where we meet...* is a geo-located soundtrail to accompany the listener between the **Edges** exhibition at Limnerslease to Mary Watts’ Chapel, blending sounds from the Watts estate, a remote residency in Connemara, Ireland and a ceramic firing in Estonia, connecting the nations represented in the Edges project. The work features the voice of curator Hilary Underwood, sonic manipulations, and a collaborative sound piece *The Lighthouse* by Irish sound artist and Edges co-curator Richard Carr, accompanied by Sascha Terfous & Basciville. The trail culminates inside The Chapel with a new version of a sound installation *listening to the wind* (41’36”) which was originally exhibited at Wexford Arts Centre, and here is re-imagined for the digital space. The work was developed as part of a joint residency with Kay Aplin at Watts Gallery. **Created and produced by Dr Joseph Young** *The soundwalk is recorded in binaural stereo*

_DREAMS_

_DREAMS_ a dream walk for horsham town centre by clare packham _DREAMS_ was born after discovering my late grandfather had written down his dreams. i started to record my own dreams after waking, and sought to find correlations between our dream worlds. you're about to hear dreams i've had, dreams my dad and grandad have had, and dreams the people of Horsham have had. i'm interested in intergenerational dreaming, and how we dream about people who are no longer with us. _DREAMS_ is accompanied by music composed by my collaborator fintan kealy. after you've experienced the walk, i invite you to come and visit me in 20 west street, as i'd love to hear how it made you feel, & about your own dream world. _DREAMS_ was made possible by hypha studios, who host creatives in empty spaces for free. read about my work with them here: hyphastudios.com/clare-packham THANKS TO: hypha studios fintan kealy maurice packham simon packham felix dickenson talisker horton stan ford rachael mailer the people of horsham

Solo exercise from outside The Bear Horsham RH12 1EU

Solo exercise from outside The Bear Horsham RH12 1EU

Solo exercise, inspired by hash running and walking, so called sash ! The sash idea came about with the corona pandemic, to allow for local exercise, solo or with your bubble, etc. Though with UK rule relaxation, undertake according the present guidelines. Ground rules, accordingly relaxed: 1) No set date or time. 2) Undertake in groups up to the maximum allowed by guidelines. 3) Keep 2 metres apart from those outside your bubble. 4) Keep 2 metres apart from others if you encounter. 5) Ideally pick sashes that are local to you. 6) Walk bits where you can't clearly see the way ahead, so that 2 metre separation from others can be maintained. 7) In the pub, wear mask according the venue guidelines, or if none, your preference. 8) Mask not recommended while drinking or eating. 9) Do the sash at your own risk. Start from outside The Bear RH12 1EU, marked by the square on the map. Or pickup the trail from outside the Normandy Centre RH12 1JF, where there is parking, marked by the south-most circle on the map. How it works: Visible on your Apple/Android smartphone or GPS-equipped tablet, referred to here as device, are the following: A start/end square, and four circles showing the initial direction. Your device audibly 'echoes' blobs, checks, etc, when in the vicinity. You can just keep your device in your pocket or backpack, and follow the blob echoes. Or for a check echo, discover which way the blob trail continues. Three blobs in succession, or another check, and you've found the onward trail. A false echo means it's not that way. An echo saying 'on/go left', or 'on/go right', means go that way. Echoes can announce a fair few paces prior to the spot. And echoes repeat every 15 seconds if you linger. For longer stretches, echoes repeat every 15 seconds regardless of where you are within the stretch. The runners true trail is 3.2 miles, the walkers 2.2 miles. Part-way along the trail, your device echoes that the runners and walkers trails diverge. The trails rejoin enroute. Along the shared sections, the walkers will encounter the checks, so they'll have a bit more work to do than on a regular hash. Plus one walkers check of their very own. The runners-only part has one 'fish hook' echo, at which participants should return to the last check, then rerun that section. For runners and walkers, about half-way around, your device echoes 'beer near', then 'beer stop'. For the latter you may like to take some refreshment in your backpack. Nearer the end, your device echoes 'circle up near', then 'circle up', so save some refreshment. After, your device echoes 'inn no', and leads you back to the start/end point. If you get stuck, a help map is available: Zoom in on the start/end square, then tap the triangle beside, then tap SEE MORE. The blue square is the start/end, the arrows show the trail direction, and the walkers-only part is dotted. On your device, open the Apple App Store or Android Play Store, and type ‘echoes’ in the store search box. The ECHOES app icon looks a bit like a fingerprint. Install, then open, and sign up. The trail should list under 'near you'. Tap MORE NEAR YOU if not. Possible too, is a tap on the magnifying glass, then type the trail postcode with space, or 'sash' for all. Tap a trail, then tap STREAM WALK to use online copy. Or tap DOWNLOAD or down-arrow symbol for offline copy, then tap START. Swipe down screen to refresh downloaded copy, in case changed online. Sometimes app exit then app restart are needed to fully refresh downloaded copy. Download might get stuck before reaching 100%. In which case, exit app then restart, and tap STREAM WALK instead. Tips: Like most location apps, ECHOES uses the battery a fair bit. A fully-charged device should be enough for the trail. But you might like to take a powerbank, or spare battery. Plus a paper map as backup. This info is viewable in a browser at https://explore.echoes.xyz/collections/8n9M30kWyhoAvUl9 Trail last updated 30 July 2021 21:39

Ifield, derived from 'Yew-field', receives mention in the Domesday Book, where it is recorded as 'Ifelt', by a scribe perhaps with other things on his mind. The scribe didn't really sell it, with the entry 'it is and was worth 20 shillings', though this was before the invention of the estate agent.
