Hey, author here. Sorry to disappoint but it's not in the UK. It's Innerdalen, Norway ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innerdalen ). It's one of the most beautiful places I've seen. If you have the opp

Author here. I posted this late last night (BST) and I’m shocked to wake and see it was so heavily read and discussed. Thank you everyone! The post received some justifiable criticism for making it sound like I’m about to disappear in to th

This is really interesting. Can you share a bit more about specifically how the marine achieves this? What do they say/do that achieves this outcome? Thanks!

That sounds like an epic hiking trip. Can you share more detail about the specific route and accommodation etc? Do you happen to have a write up anywhere? Cheers!

There's a lot of criticism in the comments here, some of it feels very negative. I can imagine reading it as the OP is quite demoralising. Personally I think what the OP has achieved is very impressive. The design looks beautiful, and

It sounds like you have a similar process to me - you don’t actually “think” in or understand the imperial units - you have just memorised benchmark amounts and conversion metrics. That’s why you can’t get your head around fahrenheit - the
