After many months of stuffing around, the confluence that we picked up while we were in the simpson has been recognised https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

well done, that would have been a hoot claiming one as remote as that one

i best get started on the one i claimed, i haven't been on the site for i while, as there were fresh wheel trackes when i visited i have waited to see if they claimed it a couple of days prior to me, hopefully they will still accept my claim

I see - suppose it ads some spice to a long boring trip - so sea ones don't count - thats not fair cause I have done plenty of them.

I think the rules should be changed.

Is 90 degrees south and 0 degrees east a different confluence to 90 degrees south 20 degrees east. :?

And is 0 degrees south, 180 degrees east different to 0 degrees north and 180 degrees west? :?
