Social Hiking: a remote experiment

Follow and join the Honouring Esther walk.
live. without walking!
On Thursday and Friday 4 and 5 February I will be walking with a group of others retracing the route of a Nazi Death March 71 years to the day after it took place. Bath Spa University will be relaying the social media feed using Social Hiking to the giant mediawall at Newton Park campus.

1. if you have a twitter account log in… if not, no worries!
2. go to Social Hiking  http://www.shareyouradventure.com/
3. Social Hiking will ask you to log in in via twitter so click the log in with twitter button. …. thats all you have to do, if you dont have a twitter account it still looks the same but you wont be able to interact so easily:
4. you will see 3 columns
5. on the left column, Latest Maps, when the walk is live on 4 and 5 Feb, you will see the current walk with my WalkNow avatar and the word LIVE on it, probably at the top of the column
6. click on the name of the walk and you will see a new green screen showing the line of the walk with little blue icons if you click on them they will show tweets and links to other social media!
7. Logged into Viewranger via twitter, the map will update and you will see the walk grow over each day, it may do that without being logged in. It will appear as two separate maps, day 1 and day 2. There will be peaks of activity mainly in the mornings. Please tweet/retweet/comment and encourage others to do so!
8.  Check out this direct link to the walk on Thursday and this one for Friday
