Ruth MottramIn spite of having read several of Iain Banks' non-Sci Fi oeuvre I had never been remotely tempted by the culture novels, though I have friends who raves about them at Uni. Then I spotted this on a summer reading table at the library, which I suppose shows the value of a good librarian... <a href="https://fediscience.org/@Ruth_Mottram/114880501538335915" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fediscience.org/@Ruth_Mottram/114880501538335915</a> Ruth_Mottram - Long trip back to Copenhagen starts with EV to Lyon + a packed but slowly emptying train to Geneva, during which I have been completely captured by an <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/IainMBanks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IainMBanks</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Culture</a> novel.

Mia Alm<a href="https://fediscience.org/@Ruth_Mottram" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Ruth_Mottram</a> Hope you had a good trip - I'm currently in Finland, got here with train to Stockholm, 11h ferry (but with fantastic skærgård views) to Åbo, then train journeys in <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Finland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Finland</a>. When planning I had hoped to avoid planes, but I either had to reverse my whole route, or include the three baltic countries and get another ferry from Kleipeda - it became too much so ended up with plane ticket Helsinki-Copenhagen. But otherwise nice feeling getting so far away without flying. Other than environmental benefits it feels more real to travel this way, last evening I saw a 'distance to cities signpost' with Esbjerg 1880 km, that's a long way... <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FlyingLess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FlyingLess</a>

Ruth MottramTip for <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/FlyingLess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FlyingLess</a> as a family: prepare for long train rides with board + card games.

Ruth MottramMan, Sweden is a big country... Finally approaching Copenhagen 25 hours after leaving Abisko.. My ride today was a little less productive workwise than I'd hoped but enlivened by this inspiring book, bought at <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Abisko" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Abisko</a> national park centre.

Ruth MottramThe first of 4 <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/CrossborderRail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CrossborderRail</a> trains today - I'm off to Abisko in Northern Sweden for a week of field training for <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/iQ2300" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iQ2300</a>..

SellaTheChemist<a href="https://mastodon.green/@Broadfork" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Broadfork</a> The one key issue that was missing from the programme is the highly skewed distribution of flying - small numbers fly enormously more than the majority. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/flyingless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#flyingless</a>

SellaTheChemistRather good BBC1 programme on the impact of flying, cheap flights in the UK, and the illusion of SAFs, offsets and so on. Justin Rowlatt and Fran Scott present. Dieter Helm lays down the truth about offsets and markets. And a series of liars spin yarns.

Chu 朱We have tried to cut back on flying. This was our last trip to see the in laws before they permanently move closer to us next year and I really hope we can stick to our every other year plans for getting on a plane barring family emergencies.
