Schmap Internet travel maps

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

I’m becoming a bit of an amateur photographer, which just shows you how good digital cameras are, I received an email to say that one of my images, of the Sony Centre in Potsdamer Platz, has been used in the new Berlin Schmap travel map.

Been sent a postcard… statistics.

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

Here are the statistics I promised from our holiday postcard display.

Our sample

  • Travelled to 19 different countries, with most people holidaying in the United Kingdom, Wales was very popular.
  • We travelled to 3 different continents, North America, Africa and Europe. Europe being the most popular.
  • The total number of miles we travelled was 45,220, this could take us 5 times around the equator.
  • The furthest distance travelled was by a member of staff was Miss Lancashire, to Hawaii.
  • The furthest distance travelled by a student was Stringy, to Mauritius.
  • The shortest distance travelled was by the staff of the office, who travelled 11.3 metres to my pigeonhole. :)
  • The average distance travelled was 1739 miles.
  • Mr Hayden wins the award for outstanding contribution, for travelling to Albania and then doing battle with officials to post it.

Thanks to all, I’m now worrying about our carbon footprint…
