That guy (GeoWizard) has an amazing video series where he attempts to cross the whole country of Wales while walking in a straight line [0], it is honestly one of the best things I've ever seen on the internet.

Thanks for that, enjoyable watch over a coffee. I'm currently looking into planning a kayak trip with some friends. Nice to see with a bit of imagination there is still some adventure to be had.

Goeguessr is the best. Remember the day it put me right in front of a street sign basically stating the exact location.

But then in the next game you are placed right on midway island with no clues but sand and some birds...

Fun times

Those are amazing! It's striking to me how much better my language knowledge is than his (for example, confidently distinguishing different languages from their scripts) but I'm pretty sure I would do much worse overall.

I feel like he could benefit from ten minutes to two hours looking at

because it could greatly improve his speed and accuracy on that part. :-)
