time travel !?!

Snowdonia 1965 when my dad started going, then there was no tourists and it was welsh, no one there at all. Propper wilderness in them days, like scotlant today !

Amazon and morth america before the conquests (I'd have to black up to keep my head) disease raviged it. It was a extremley populated, and a reat culture.

China 4 or 3 thousand years ago. The birth of mankind

only 3 this time.

There are things in Alaska that even we old folks can manage www.travelalaska.com I don't have a link to the Canadian far west, but there're similar things there as well.

Great places have been been listed but I really like islands and would want to visit loads more. Been to Hawaii but to follow the routes of the Polynesian migrations, hopefully in an outrigger canoe is one dream. Closer to home such as the Monach Isles (Eilean Heisgeir ) off the Hebrides once the haunt of the Sea Constables of Hebridean Chiefs. Lundy of course and many more Greek Islands than those we have already been to. Faroes, Iceland and Svalbard with perhaps onward journeys to Newfoundland and Labrador. All of the above in modern or historically authentic kit and vessels if possible.

Unfortunately the Lady Be Good is no longer in the desert. She's currently stored in a 'police yard in Tobruk' after being salvaged in 1994

Damn! That's another of my good ideas gone out of the window.

Oh no. I'll get around to my desert choices later. I loved the ones I've seen so far.

Must say that as a cold thriving Scot I didn't think I'd like the desert. But I did, and though I regularly melt down in the Scottish summer I survived the heat remarkably well; it being a dry heat as opposed to the humid swelter that wipes me out. Against the rules I went out in a 4x4 on my own - Darwin award awaiting to happen I know.

What amazed me was the sky. I'm used to dark sky living in rural places as I do but WOW! I'd never seen so many points of light, milky clouds of star dust and shooting stars. It seemed almost like a special effect as it was so intense.

Another thing that (perturbed) amazed me was how noisy the desert is at night. As I lay on the roof of the 4x4 (too many tales of camel spiders)!, the noises of things squeaking, squawking, chittering, scampering and generally killing and crunching each other was astounding. I know sound carries well at night especially in the dry air but I could only imagine what was beyond my circle of light in that immense dark vastness.

I'd go back to the arid places again but I do love being a pale skinned cold tattie so the Northern wildernesses have more of a draw, but the arid climes are worth it for the experience.

2. Get a camper van and do a tour of America more or less the same as John Steinbeck did in his book 'Travels with Charlie'

3. Camper van and tour Australia and New Zealand

me too but I plan to start with europe

 

[Tengu]

Im pretty happy at home.

North Rona, again, (Boatman can come with me)
Id like to go out in a curragh, so that means Ireland.
Somewhere that even today is seriously off the beaten track. (N Rona counts)

 

[Elen Sentier]

Britain ... Scotish Highlands & Islands, North Wales, SW Wales, Brecons, North & South downs, Yorkshire moors, Lake District, Peaks - am gradually getting to them but there's always more
France ... Brittany, Pyrenees - not been to either for too many years
Arizona desert, especially around Tucson because of one of my favourite books
Boreal Forest (east and/or west)
New Zealand (south island)
Australia (wild bits, not cities)
And Space ...

+1 t this, although I have seen many an impressive night sky in Africa, possibly the best view of the stars I have ever seen was in Turkey.

If space travel is on the table I would want to fly by VY Canis Majoris, the largest known star, if it were to be swapped with our own sun its diameter would swallow all of the inner planets and Jupiter, so quite big really.

At around 4000 light years away I'd either need an unfeasibly fast ship or to be very long lived to get there.

It is all relative

 

[kaiAnderson]

1. Antarctica, just so ive been to every continent
2. Yukon, would love just to get away from everything for a while, like in the TV show alone in the wild (the first episodes, not the terrible second)
3. Space, just because

 

[DavidJT]

1: Canada
2: New Zealand
3: Iceland or Patagonia, can't decide

 

[Qwerty]

Me next!

1. Greenland, the west and east coasts, during the summer.
2. Faroe islands, I've been to the Orkney's and Shetland, it'd like to round it off with a trip up to the Faroes.
3. Nepal. I'd like to see some really big mountains and I understand it's an interesting place too.

"...Greenland, the west and east coasts, during the summer..."

One of the really good things about google maps is that when someone mentions a place, the landscape of which you have never really thought about, you can check out some geo-located images and get a feel for what is there.
