Applefest - Echoes of the Orchard

Your Arctic research team intercepts a distress signal—a family of polar bears is stranded on a drifting ice floe! The ice is breaking apart, and with temperatures dropping, they don’t have much time. The only way to send a rescue signal to the approaching icebreaker ship is to unlock a secured radio system. But the rescue frequency code is locked—you’ll need to gather intel from different parts of your Arctic church base to crack it.

An alternative to some more traditional trails looking at the main historical sites of Monmouth, this interesting trail gives an insight into some of Monmouth's less visited places of interest.

A musical accompaniment to your daily walk. All I suggest is that you follow the route and when you hear music, stop and let yourself stare a while at anything your eyes happen to rest upon. Then continue walking along the route until the next musical interlude and so on to the end. Please get in touch and let me know how it goes. I hope that by the end of the walk, the music has helped to bring feelings of calmness and peacefulness. XXX

Sound maps are digital geographical maps that put emphasis on the sonic representation of a specific location. Sound maps are created by associating landmarks (streets in a city, train stations, stores, pathways, factories, oil pumps, etc.) and soundscapes. The term “soundscape” refers to the sonic environment of a specific locale. It may also refer to actual environments, or to abstract constructions such as musical compositions and tape montages, particularly when considered as an artificial environment. The objective of sound maps is to represent a specific environment using its soundscape as primary references as opposed to visual cues. Sound maps are in many ways the most effective auditory archive of an environment. Sound maps are similar to sound walks which are a form of active participation in the soundscape. Soundwalks and indeed, sound maps encourage the participants to listen discriminatively, and moreover, to make critical judgments about the sounds heard and their contribution to the balance or imbalance of the sonic environment. However, soundwalks will plot out a route for the user to follow and give guidance as to what the user may be hearing at each checkpoint. Sound maps, on the other hand, have specific soundscapes recorded that users can listen to at each checkpoint.
