Follow the coast quiz

David Whitley,

This quiz is all about the world’s coastlines, and the concept is relatively simple. You’re given a city as a starting point, plus a rough direction of travel while hugging the coast. The task is the name the first foreign country you reach along that coastline.

Note that for the purposes of this geography trivia quiz, we are using the coastline, not roads.

Recommended discoveries

A few recent discoveries that I recommend trying…

  • Janneau Armagnac. A sharp, flavourful introduction to Armagnac as a cheaper alternative to Cognac.
  • Conclave. A film about a papal election shouldn’t be quite so grippingly entertaining, should it?
  • Oldley water bottles. The right combination of durable, affordable, easily-carryable and leakproof for kids who are adept at smashing bottles and coming home with soaked bags.
  • The A Tale of Magic series by Chris Colfer. My 10-year-old couldn’t wait for me to finish reading them to her, and devoured them all after bedtime on the sly…
  • Diplomatico Reserva sipping rum. Not quite as good as my favourite, Zacapa Centenario 23, but this Venezuelan rum has excellent winter warmer qualities.
