Expedition

KerrMcF (Retro, 2024-04-06)

As with the first part, everything went pretty much as planned. We left the Festival Theatre after watching Hamilton, which was a great performance, and walked back to the Princes Street tram stop. The wind had grown much stronger as Storm Kathleen grew, but we were still going to be able to make it home. I knew that it would be impossible to miss this next point as it was located directly on the tramway. As expected, we went straight through the point, however the GPS did not show this correctly, likely due to trees near the edge of the track. The screenshot of proof shows how close the GPS got during the pass through, but it is clear that we went through the point as it was located directly on the tramway itself, and it would have been impossible to miss. We then drove back home.
