Today I’m in an EU country that has a female president and a peaky national anthem. The country didn’t participate in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, operates UH-60 Black Hawks, and remembers miners killed in accidents on a day in August. The nearest national park is about ten miles NE of my location, the nearest nuclear power station about thirty five miles SSW. A thirty minute drive from a photogenic castle, I’m in a town where coal is mined and fish paste is made.

Took me maybe 40 minutes or so. It’s amusing how much easier it is when it’s your own country (which this was not, but others have been). Also, these make me feel my age, in that I want a paper map and a compass. Even after a lifetime of using computers, they feel awkward and difficult.
