Questing for Forest Cove

This project is in tandem with the blog: "Locked down into Paying/Denying Attention". I intend to access a beach that has no official access.

Weird misplacement

In preparation for Attempt 2 of Questing for Forest Cove, I went down to Landcove beach, from where I will be able to access Forest Cove at low tide. I hadn’t checked the tide times and so it was inaccessible at that time of day.

While I was there I played in the caves.
I took some photos on my phone, as you can see my iPhone GPS has pinned it incorrectly:

I googled where my iPhone thought it was & how far off the mark it is:

I’m finding that technology is the thing that hits me hardest with stark reminders of our immobility in lockdown. The above being an example.
Another being daily Instagram and Facebook ‘Memories’.
