Sadly, I shall be unable to attend the Mission Explore Newcastle event: 2 days of fun and mission writing...
Here are some of my contributions for potential missions that could be carried out:
Compose a toon tune...
Use an audio recorder to capture a range of sound samples: a stick rattled along railings, drumming on the Salmon Cubes, a train rattling over one of the Tyne bridges, and put them together with Audacity to create a Newcastle tune..
‘Black and White and read all over...’
Look for opportunities for ‘black and whites’ and ‘red and whites’ to come together peacefully. Where is this already happening ?
Tyne Tees...
Plot out an imaginary urban 9-hole golf course that runs through the city. Where would you tee off from and where would the holes be? Put in some ‘hazards’... Will it be up to par?
Newcastle Brown
Get a paint sample chart and turn to the ‘browns’ – how many matches to paint tones can you find in a 10 minute period ?
If Newcastle Brown was a paint, what name would it have ?
Play ‘Geordie bingo’
Print up a card which has the words “canny”, “howay”, “bait” etc. on it and see how many you can cross off by listening to conversations. Which areas of the city are the best for completing the card in a short time
Underground – Overground
Walk the route of one of the Metro lines, above the actual line itself on the surface.
