The https://saillink.co.uk voyage from Boulogne to Dover was fantastic.
Decent northerly breeze made for unusual summer conditions, but the skipper knows how to make best balance between progress and comfort.
Started in grey cloud but blue skies by mid channel. Fun with freighters and a chance to be out on deck, even sit between the bows for anyone tempted. -

Adventures in Boulogne featuring a true #DeadEnd.
Mission: to find the old #hovercraft terminal, back from when you could fly between England and France whilst #NotFlying. Maybe.
It's a delightful monument to when the white heat of technology was a good thing.
As were, er, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley? -

Hello Brussels, after three changes of direction by the same DB train (at Köln, Aachen, and also between Köln and Aachen). No surprise to be half hour late, but my connection is 1h10.
Flixbus to Lille the next hop, €7 instead of €40+ by train.
Also worth knowing maybe, Bruxelles Nord is in an office block desert but perfect for quick bus connections. -

#SwedenToWales kicking off properly now, after an overnight in Malmö.
First leg is my favourite #NotFlying way to avoid Danish territory (no offence): the Flixbus from Malmö to Berlin via the Gedser–Rostock ferry. Quicker, cheaper and more comfortable than the train, and with way better food options on the Scandlines ferry.But, pray, what hashtag should I mute to avoid the upcoming 27 hours of travel tedium?

IATA's footprint calc used to be publicly online, but now access is behind a "contact us" application form.
https://www.iata.org/en/services/data/environment-sustainability/co2-connect/Meanwhile their sustainability page for travellers has FAQs which are a textbook example of how to distract from the root cause.

Nothing says "Jet fuel is a valuable, finite resource" like flying a full Airbus A330 on a 6000km joyride back to where the passengers boarded, because the landing permissions that were due to be finalised while the plane was airborne did not materialise.

Aye.
My Dad's 80th not on a convenient date, but not a moveable feast. And still covered by my #NotFlying pledge. -

The Deutsches Hygiene-Museum is well worth a visit if you pass through Dresden.
1. Great temporary exhibition on mental health, worth entry fee alone.
2. Interesting permanent exhibitions, acknowledging also its own history and role in National Socialist ideology.
3. Spotlessly clean toilets.It's this kind of chance find that #NotFlying / travelling by #EuropeanRail makes possible.

Kicking off another #NotFlying round of #SwedenToWales feat a train, a night train, a morning in Malmö, a train (hello Denmark), an airport, a bus being a train (no, not Germany, still Denmark) a bus being a bus (hello Hamburg), a bargain £37 Eurostar, a bus being two buses.
Given the forecast temperatures, #HummusRoulette canned, ditto a plan to smuggle cheese into Blighty for my dad's birthday.
Unless I can think of something snappier, going with the hashtag

After a Night of Flight-Free Adventure (travel inspiration as fundraiser for the charity Flight Free UK), #WalesToSweden chuffed (electrically) on to Harwich and now takes a day ferry to Hoek van Holland.
Day ferries and night trains complement each other really well. You have time to sleep, work, or window stare on at least one.

The next round of #NotFlying #WalesToSweden has kicked off with its first pit stop at Bara, the cafe bringing Wales to Peckham.
(h/t @NationCymru for the tip off back when it opened.) -

I hate the smell of airports* in the morning**.
Even ignoring aviation's climate impacts, why do we tolerate that much damage to local air quality?
* Specifically today, CPH Kastrup, but let's face it they're all equally bad.
** No better, pm.

This round of hummus roulette is going to be over very quickly.
(a) not much hummus in the fridge when I cleared out before leaving home. And only three carrots.
(b) just found out by SMS that there won't be a restaurant car on my Snälltåg to Malmö this evening.(The rules of #HummusRoulette are elsewhere in my posts. Basically morphed from evading airport security to avoiding food poisoning as my #NotFlying became total.)

Setting off at lunchtime for another round of #NotFlying #SwedenToWales
Money saving the priority this time, with day (£30) and night (£35) trains, a Flixbus (£20) through Denmark and a (free) short ferry hop. Then posh Eurostar Plus for under £50.
En route, there'll be #HummusRoulette but the culinary highlight is purportedly Germany's finest fish and chips. Where, you ask? Not saying. Yet.

Off #NotFlying to Wales tomorrow, so last chance for a snowy cycle ride.
