What do you notice about the world around
you?
Certain things caught your eye and stood out
more than normally do on walks to
campus, e.g. Curry houses for Ben.
How do you feel?
Pretty stupid, quite uncertain on my
feet, unsure of what was behind, nervous at
times, required a lot of trust. Felt like you
were walking fast but actually partner felt like
it was slower than normal pace.
How do pedestrians respond?
Majority of people seemed unfazed, just
clearly moved around us whereas when walking
forward you normally both move out of each
others way. A couple of funny looks but nothing
majorly out of the ordinary
3. What
did you notice?
The noise of the cars, the beeping of the
pedestrian crossing, a lot of overtaking in
rush hour traffic.
How did you feel?
Relaxed, wet, time felt slow, spent time
thinking about curry I planned to buy
later, didn’t really concentrate on how I may
have look to other people
How did people respond?
I was an obstacle to people, they avoided
me/went round me.
4. What did you notice?
A lot of cars, busy rush hour, Heeley Road take a
while to pull out of. Noticed the weather a lot as
it was really wet.
How do you feel?
Quite weird, a bit self conscious but generally
just spent time watching the cars drive past
How did people respond?
One driver signalled for me to cross the
road, which was awkward to try and ignore. Most
people just carried on walking or driving past
without noticing.
People didn’t see you standing there for the
whole time so it wasn’t as odd as they
drove/walked past.
