    Lightbulb My Wee Jaunt Across The Pond

    Evening Lady's and Gents,

    I'm planning a little trip to Canada in March the 17th-24th to be specific, And I wondered if anyone fancied a little get together while I'm across?

    My plans are a little fluid as of yet, However I'm going to be in Hamilton Monday- Thursday Afternoon, Somewhere in the Vicinity of Niagra Falls Thursday Night- Friday and Toronto Saturday- Sunday. flying Home Monday Evening.

    I think I will have a very eager Tour Guide So I thought I would put the option out there while things are still somewhat up in the air.

    So What say you?

    It is sort of funny to some of us who live in Canada how little people know of this place.

    From East to West, Canada is over 400 straight line miles and covers 89 degrees of longitude..

    Some provinces like Saskatchewan , Alberta and British Columbia are taller than the distance from the Isle of Scilly to the northern most Shetland islands. London, Ontario is on the 42nd degree of Latitude North and parts of Nunavut are well above the Arctic Circle at 83 degrees N.

    The southern most part of the UK is the isle of Scilly at 54 degrees N. and the northern most part of the UK is at 60 degrees N.

    So yes Jordan you will enjoy a LITTLE visit to Canada. But please do enjoy your visit to the southern parts of the Province of Ontario.

    Cheers Glen, I've accepted your friend request on FB.


    Steve, don't worry I know that Canada is a big place and I'm only visiting a small part. However for my first attempt I don't think I'm doing too badly.

    Actually, Steve, it's 49 degrees N plus a little!

    Steve, I think you left a number off. By my measure, it's 3400 miles across.

    A Saturday kilt night in Toronto would probably work.

    Steve, you forgot a zero!
