In November last year (2012) I had a week off work and with no particular plans, I felt the urge to go somewhere “random”. I don’t imagine this is an unusual thing to want to do but often the “random” place is picked in a very non-random way, for example, somewhere:
- You have visited before.
- That has been suggested by friends, family or acquittance.
- Has subconsciously slipped into your mind at some point.
I wanted to go to a proper rand() location that wouldn’t be influenced by anything.However I did set a few parameters. The location had to be
- Reachable on a day trip from Edinburgh
- Somewhere without criminal trespass laws e.g: Airport, Ministry of Defense land, Prisons etc.
- On dry land
And that was it….
