I thought it might be fun to share some travel tips for those of us who enthusiastically play one or more of Niantics games.
Gear:
usually just use my phone and bring a charger with me. I’ll stop in at a coffee shop or pub for refreshments and a recharge. I had a bad experience a few years back with a charging brick… but open to recommendations!
Trip suggestions:
My upcoming trip starts at the beginning of Nov and is approximately 3 weeks long.
starting and ending in London but will be at an event in the Newcastle area.
Next up is several days in and around Edinburgh
Then some time in and around Alta in Norway.
I’m the only Niantic player in the group and obviously we do have many things planned already… But we are all adults so in addition to cool sights, I’d love some Pub and grub recommendations
Are there any other things I should be considering as a player for extended travel and exploration?

Edit to add: I think I’m asking for your favorite wayspots in those general areas.
Wayfarer is all about exploring ……so perhaps this could be some wayspots to visit.
And you might like to try and submit some too.
I think @26thDoctor could maybe recommend some places in Edinburgh including a police box
And places in London
I am fairly adept about quickly understanding accents. Though since I’m many years out of college, it may have dropped off. Unfortunately I struggle with my own pronunciation for awhile.
My friends and I are pretty excited to go to the game. I suspect that folks will be much more engaged than they are at sporting events in the US.
I love this idea! Thank you for thinking of pulling items from that thread. I will need to look more closely at our travel schedule, but I’d love to help and nominate things while I’m traveling.
Alta in November?? Bring clothes, ALOT of them. If you plan to hike somewhere, plan carefully and watch the weather forecast. Its no joke up there, its also dark all day.
You can visit the Northern lights cathedral (Nordlyskatedralen) in the urban center of Alta.
If the weather is clear, you always have a great chance to see aurora. It happens almost daily at this point.
A short and safe hike is up to Komsa/Komsatoppen, you can view the entire town from there.
If you want any help with finding something up here, you can always ask me. (Unless your guide knows)
