A quick update on last week's trip along the Frome to reccy locations and select those suitable for Mediascapes. All of them had potential but what favoured the selected sites was that they were fairly self contained and defined, also that they had interesting features (a mix of trees, slopes, focal points etc), and ,finally, that they represented a cross section of the Frome (from rural to parkland to urban). The selected sites: the source of the Frome at Doddington Park, Jubilee Park in Chipping Sodbury, and Riverside Park in St. Pauls, Bristol.
Phill and I had previously produced a Mscape for Jubilee Park, which we were also able to test. The corridor of 'nuts' worked particularly well, producing a nice 'stereo' effect. Generally, it all worked, though Ralph is going to do some tweaking. One problem was that the Mscape wasn't fitting to the area exactly as it should, even though we had a strong GPS link and the Scape wasn't shifting around as it had in Queen's Square the previous week. Phill will try to realign the map to resove this.
