The Envelope - N S E & W

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Pete1950, Apr 12, 2016.

  1. The furthest north I have ever been in my life is Northern Iceland, the furthest east is Moscow, the furthest south is Barbados, and the furthest west is Dallas, Texas. That defines the envelope of my travels, such as they are. Everyone must have their own envelope large or small, starting tiny for babies and reaching worldwide for airline pilots. Care to share?
     
  2. Furthest north for me was the artic circle, furthest west would be Oregon I think, furthest east Sydney and furthest south the southern tip of the Mornington peninsula in Australia
     
  3. i have a mate that's been no further south than ballahulish bridge. no shit. keen biker too.
    think JV has traveled a fare bit. every continent bar two. at his age by the time hie visits the last he will be incontinent. :smileys:

  6. Reykjavik, Vancouver Island, Cape Point, New Delhi.

    I daresay when flying to Vancouver I will have passed over a point more northerly than Reykjavik in the plane, but Reykjavik is probably as far north as I have set foot.
     
  7. St Petersburg Russia, invercargill NZ, sokcho South Korea and Fiji, but it really depends on what map you are referring to. We tend to use GMT as our centre, Australia and America however see things differently!
