@CloudyMrs train to Garve. Cycle to Achnasheen, down the side of Loch Maree to Gairloch, on to Poolewe (stopping for coffee and cake from the caravan), through Camasnagaul (great name eh, and look out for feral goats) to Braemore Junction, and turn right past Loch Glascarnoch back to Garve.

That's a bit over 100 miles so if you want to extend it then turn left at Braemore Junction and pop down to Ullapool and then come back. That'll add another 25 miles or so.

Hope that's far enough?

So you're out #sailing in a new area and your electrics fail. No bother, just go back to using a paper chart for navigation (if you ever stopped: I didn't).

The only problem is that the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office is withdrawing its portfolio of Admiralty Standard Nautical Charts and Thematic Charts.

Thank Bob we still have Imray ... for now.

I'm also wondering what small or traditional boat sailors without electronics are meant to do.

Can anyone recommend a #peertube instance which:

a) is bothering to respond to sign up requests

b) will let me post political videos (mainly speeches by SNP councillors in Scotland)

c) isn't dodgy as f*ck

Cos I'm struggling at the moment.

(I'm planning to create my own instance eventually but I just want to try it out first before I invest time and hardware.)
