Must have taken a wrong turn.

I went to the Edinburgh Tattoo the other day. It’s about an 800 mile return trip to Edinburgh from here but we ended up going over 27,000 miles. Must get a new Sat Nav.

P.S. I’m sure I typed "turn" not "term" in the title.

Mod edit. Title amended. (Rog)

I love the Edinburgh Tattoo, but 27,000 miles is a bit excessive :lol:

Rail trip across Australia was interesting. Said 'be rocked to sleep on the train' in the brochure, I reckon some of the track was laid by a troop of gibbons.

Rog thank you for amending the title.

Did you travel on the Ghan? Just watched it on TV with Michael Portillo.

No west to east on the Indian Pacific. One diesel and 30 coaches.
