I'm so bad at geography.. so naturally, we need to play UK Geoguessr. Even though I'm a Canadian living in the UK for the last 8 years, I'm SO BAD at knowing where places are. Manchester?? Reading? Edinburgh?? Who knows lol
0:00 what are we doing today
0:56 nice place, where though?
7:48 city this time
17:13 middle of nowhere
21:49 probably so frustrating to watch lol

Hey! I'm Alanna - a thirty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZbin video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on Patreon + YT Memberships. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.

Cheltenham is generally pronounced with just two syllables (Chelt-num). There are so many amazing independent cafes and restaurants (Beefy Boys, Sisu Pancakes and The Scandinavian Coffee Pod are a few of the best). It is also in the perfect spot to visit the Cotswolds with places like Painswick, Cranham, Sheepscombe and Miserden being easy drives. Also Stroud nearby has some great independent ‘Knick knack’ shops and a very pretty park!

A top tip for streets/roads named after places in the UK (like Reading Road, London Road, Edinburgh Road, Oxford Road, etc...) is that road heads toward the place its named after. Its from ye olden times where it made giving directions easier. Road is the road that heads to (but doesn't always mean you are nearby, for example Edinburgh has a London Road (that does lead to London eventually, but you'll be on it for the most part of a day before arriving)). Other tell-tale names are: beacon street is a coastal road that used to have a beacon on it, high street or main street goes through the centre of the village/town/borough, kirk road/parish road usually has a church on it. (Street, Road, Avenue, Way, etc... can be interchangeable, there's a difference between them and when they're used but not significant enough to actually help you in Geoguessr)

Getting to anywhere in Manchester, or to any other city FROM Manchester, is an absolute nightmare, so I think you did exceptionally well to pinpoint that location so well. (Case in point, Liverpool and Leeds signposted in the same direction when they're literally opposite sides of the city...) Even I would have struggled with that at first glance and I've lived here since 2001.
@hairyairey
@hairyairey 3 ай бұрын
Road signs are deliberately misleading to move traffic away from busy areas. Good example - at the end of the A195(M) in Gateshead you are signposted right for the Tyne Tunnel when it's actually ahead. It's a deliberate strategy to keep the queues on the A19.

Leeds and Liverpool were the same way on the sign because it takes you to the M60 ring motorway system around Manchester, which is the quickest way to these cities via different directions on the motorway.

This was very fun! It's a good thing that we're a relatively small island, wouldn't you say? Makes it more likely you'll guess a spot correctly. Fflint is pronounced "Flint," and I know this because my late grandmother lived very nearby in Rhyl, pronounced "Rill." Welsh may look scary, but the terrors can be overcome. I got quite a kick out of the last segment in the North West, my old stomping ground. The Trafford Centre used to have a Christmas advert on local TV in Chester, as somewhere to experience Christmas shopping as it might once have been in decades past. One of the confusing things about our road signage can be the fact that motorways are listed with the cities they can be used to reach - but those aren't necessarily in the same direction as each other. Liverpool and Leeds are both on the M62, at more or less the opposite ends of it... so the sign essentially tells you that both can be reached via that road.

Soon as you zoomed in on the Morningside Nursery sign, I could tell it was the Edinburgh area just from the 0131 phone number area code. I mean, you can google area codes, but for some reason I'm quite good at remembering big cities and towns area codes. The first place, once you found the Welsh signs and then went up the road a bit, I was thinking Cardiff, Newport or Swansea just because I could see some tower blocks in the distance so was expecting it to be a city.

That was pretty good Alanna, they might let you be team capain next time. 😁 Road signs are the easiest thing to follow, the road you are on is always at the bottom of a sigh. The major town or city the road goes to is usually listed first, in bold type, and secondary routes via it to other destinations in smaller type, or brackets. Find that junction and its easy to back track. A bit more advanced clue you could use will be to look at the direction, and length of shadows. The sun is always to a Southerly direction in the UK. A short shadow will mean it's near midday as it's at its highest point. With practice, you can pretty accurately work out which direction you are looking towards that roadsign from, if you are East or West of it.

Doesn't help you now but anywhere in Wales with an English sounding name (Oakenhalt) is likely to be on the border, probably to the north of Wales).

I lived in Saltney which is s suburb of Chester on the Welsh border so not far from the Flint, I have roots in the Edinburgh area so second one was easy as soon as I saw a telephone number starting 0131, I live in Didcot, not that far from Reading so I pretty quickly sussed that one out and I used to live in Accrington which is about 20 miles from The Trafford Centre, so all were pretty easy for me, I'm usually not that lucky when I play GeoGuessr.

You're obviously being held back by Twitch, Alanna 😂 You have decent knowledge - knowing Trafford was Manchester and where Leeds was 👌 This looks fun, I'm good at geography so I'll give it a try ...in Canada 😊 +16:53 You were on the road you were looking for all the time, just needed to zoom in more to get the road name 😉

You should totally try! I think Canada would be pretty hard - if you found yourself out in the middle of nowhere, would be so hard to tell where! 😂

A good clue to locating yourself in Wales is the order of the languages on roadsigns. In predominantly Welsh-speaking parts, such as the North West and Mid Wales, Welsh always comes first. In the South and West, and the North East corner which are mainly English-speaking, English comes first.

I wouldn't have had a clue about Oakenholt, I am afraid, despite having travelled extensively in Wales over the years. That part of Wales does seem very like England and the locals tend to speak with a diluted version of the Liverpool accent - not the typical Welsh accents you hear in most of the rest of Wales. The second location (Morningside in Edinburgh) was one I knew instantly, having grown up in Edinburgh and having visited my great aunt there. Typically for that part of the city she was quite posh, so my father tried to avoid meeting her!

I am sure I will be corrected but I’ve always understood that English on a road sign before the Welsh means it’s in south Wales and Welsh first means it’s in north Wales.

Quick tip on what part of Wales you're in: North Wales has Welsh on top and English below, South Wales is English above and Welsh below. So at least we know that Oakenholt is in South Wales!

Except that it's in Flintshire, very, VERY North Wales. There's really no rule. In my neck of the woods, Rhondda, South Wales, it's English first. Go further South to Cardiff and it's Welsh first. Across to Swansea, and we're back to English first. I'd guess it depends on the local council, but I'm really not sure.

You missed using the trucks telephone area code on its side. If it will zoom in far enough you code also get a larger place name. from the Bus stop. If it is flat you're be either in the border region by Wrexham, on Anglesey or the North Coast, .Painted Houses are usually found in coastal areas. Flint Castle 3:27 confirmed NE Wales on the coast just over the border from England!
