replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Good evening from Aberdeenshire. Not sure I could have timed a trip to Hidden Treasure Tearoom better if I tried. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1. Iโm from Dundee so the Discovery is obviously my ship of choice. A vessel Shackleton would have been familiar with, too. #PTTravel

A1- It's not so much the route, but I would have loved to see the ships coming into ๐ฌ๐ท#Rhodes back in the day

A1 #pttravel The mouth of the Columbia River is known to be treacherous. One example was the 1906 wreck of the Peter Iredale. You can still see it today on the beach.
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Following the great adventurers like Polynesians would be my expedition of choice - halfway through a great book 'The Human Cosmos' which reminds me how they navigated without charts or instruments #PTTravel A1

A2- Before GPS, I used to just fill up my tank and go get lost when I went someplace new. When the tank started to get low, then it was time to break out the maps.
I still like to venture without GPS, but it's too easy to turn it on now.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I donโt tend to use paper maps when travelling, and was Pay As You Go for so long that I got used to not using apps either. My navigation style is more sign to sign, or I just make peace with being lost. #PTTravel

A3- Even with a map, you can easily get turned around in the alleys in ๐ฎ๐น#Venice

@kate_frankie #pttravel up a hill. lots of hills.
This was ... somewhere in Northumberland on the pennine way. I look grumpy cos I'd taken a wrong turn somewhere and the GPS locator on my phone was playing up. And it was a bit damp.

This is the only one I have handy ... downloaded for an upcoming trip. I feel more comfortable knowing roughly where I am, or am going to be on the Earth's surface.
