Walking together apart: Sunday lockdown walks
Sonia leading Distance Drifts, a series of Sunday morning synchronised walks hosted on social media.
#DistanceDrift is a space to walk alone – or in your social bubble – and connect with other walkers. Themed prompts keep the walks playful and interactive. Walks can be followed in any space, indoors or out.
Distance Drifts started on the first Sunday in April 2020 and continued weekly for four years. Themes so far have included dealing from Sonia’s Drift Deck, walking by numbers, exploring islands, investigating Blue Moons, finding faces through pareidolia, vicarious adventures with mascots, walking with Alfred Hitchcock and scavenger hunting.
Synchronised Distance Drifts now take place on the first Sunday of the month at 10am, hosted on Bluesky. Follow Sonia’s Bluesky account and #DistanceDrift for a live prompt to walk in sync, or follow the thread in your own time.
