SnyderMesh is on Holiday in the UK. We are enjoying the cities of Oxford, Liverpool, Edinburgh, and London. It has been fun connecting my Seeed SenseCAP T1000-E Seeed SenseCAP T1000-E (Seeed) configured for EU_868 Presets learning about the mesh each of these communities has built out.
Please say hi if you see me out and about. If you want to say hello off the mesh by email please feel free to contact hello@snydermesh.com.
Oxford
Beautiful city with deep upscale international appeal, gorgeous architecture, bustling waterways, and sprawling gardens but almost no nodes were seen.
Stonehenge and Bath
If you ever have the opportunity, do not miss these impressive UNESCO World Heritage Sites dating back thousands of years.
What more can be said of Stonehenge than an acknowledgement of its cultural and historical significance dating back more than 4,000 years. These megalithic structures and the people who built them are truly awe inspiring.
Bath is renowned for its stunning Georgian architecture characterized by its Palladian style and use of local Bath stone. The city’s architectural landscape also features remnants of its Roman past, particularly the famous Roman Baths, and the Gothic architecture of Bath Abbey
Liverpool
The Home of the Beatles certainly impressed. Our family really enjoyed walking the Royal Albert Docks. Mathew Street where the famous Cavern Club is located was reminiscent of the New Orleans Bourbon Street for all day “Nightlife”.
The city had a well established mesh extending from Liverpool to Manchester but with only light traffic on LongFast.
Edinburgh
The amazing architecture and landscape will set you into a magical experience. Grassmarket, where we are staying, feels like it’s in the center of some amazing attractions. It is said that Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley was based on Victoria Street with Magical Brooms at the top of the shopping list inspired by a historic “Brush Shop”.
We really enjoyed taking the short trip out to Rosslyn Chapel, famous for its intricate carvings and Knights Templar affiliation highlighted in the best selling The Da Vinci Code book and feature film. The public bus 37 route back provided excellent views of the serene landscape and neighboring towns.
The most impressive mesh so far of these UK Meshtastic communities is the mesh extending from coast to coast across Scotland from Glasgow to Edinburgh. The mesh is quite extensive with a Meshing Around Bot inviting Meshers to say hi with a QRZ welcome message. A local Mesher so kindly provided a few excellent dinner recommendations.
London
With a bit of time I have been able to chat on LongFast with another traveller from the US and someone Meshing from the Shard. The NodeDB continues to grow while at my hotel near Paddington. I had a few contacts on a sightseeing tour down town. I tried MediumFast for a while, but had no better luck.
Not much traffic the last few days but we had a wonderful time.
Headed Home
Thanks to everyone for sharing your mesh land your community! We had a lot of fun exploring the UK but there is certainly no place like home!
