While on the journey, he’ll engage with interested parties
via a website in two ways
Ambient Direct
![Page 12: Three Years | Five Seconds](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020218/559addb71a28ab222c8b4577/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Gus will be walking an average of 30 miles per day, meaning his opportunities for direct interaction with digital and communications channels will be limited.
He will be a walking data point, constantly transmitting his location, and other key statistics. The information will be used in an appropriate way on his website and other digital channels.
AMBIENT
![Page 13: Three Years | Five Seconds](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020218/559addb71a28ab222c8b4577/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Direct forms of interaction will involve Gus engaging directly with a platform. His opportunities to do this will be erratic, due to the various terrains and distances he will be covering.
This means that every time he is able to engage with an online audience, it will be to gain maximum resonance.
He will also be available for interviews and other media opportunities, though these will need to be arranged around his walking schedule.

“In walking the
length of the British
isles, I learnt more
than in my lifetime of
schooling, and how
little I know. I want
to learn all I can
about the Earth, to
share this with the
world, and to help
all its people.”
- Augustus Odysseus Cannon, January 2013
