Khurram Wadee ✅As <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spring</a> is here, it’s time to resume our own form of <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/EthicalTourism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EthicalTourism</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/EcoToruism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EcoToruism</a> (day trips involving travel only by <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/bike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bike</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/PublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicTransport</a> – <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Trains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trains</a>, in this case). As I’m a <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/StructuralEngineer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StructuralEngineer</a>, I like seeing interesting <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/structures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#structures</a> and so I picked <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Portsmouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Portsmouth</a>. Quite recently, it had a <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/tower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tower</a> built called the <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/SpinnakerTower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpinnakerTower</a> as it resembles a <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/spinnaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinnaker</a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/sail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sail</a>. It is by no means unique, nor is it the tallest, but it’s comfortably within a day trip’s distance of us.Long post...
