Here's the 2nd out of 4 trips in W. Poland: Koszalin to Swinoujscie.

Image

Cool footbridge in Koszalin. I tried to find it on Google but no joy.

Image

Mickey D is well represented here.

Image

Great architecture on the roundabout. I must say I like this default paint scheme for the cab, lots of possible combinations and looks decent.

Image

Leaving Koszalin en route to Kołobrzeg.

Image

The charm of the country road...

Image

Image

Image

...and lovely Kołobrzeg.

Image

Image

Passing through the coastal town of Dziwnowek.

Image

Image

Highlights of Miedzyzdroje.

Image

Image

Image

Looks like a big railway hub between Miedzyzdroje and Swinoujscie.

Image

Swinoujscie is a big, detailed town, in two parts connected by a ferry. Auntie Wiki says it means "Swinamouth", rather like Plymouth or Dartmouth - it's a port on the mouth of a river.

Image

Enough of the geography lesson, here are a couple of last shots of this nice destination.

Image

Cheers

Nice screenshots ;)

That footbbridge don't exist in real, and it's Kołobrzeg, not Kolobrzek ;)

Thanks very much! Shame about the bridge... I guess it does exist somewhere in ETS2 or a mod and the creator thought it would also look nice here.
I've changed the name of the village - thanks for the correction. Polish spelling is difficult for me, I'm used to Czech and English...

Travelling from Swinoujscie to Piła this time. In a gratuitously roundabout photo-op-seeking and incredibly inefficient sort of way.

Image

Call those pipes? Ha ha ha. Look at mine. Now that's a pipe.

Image

On the way from Swinoujscie to Szczecin.

Image

Szczecin is impressive.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, ..."
Thanks for the tip Mr Churchill, sounds like it could be a great route. Another time, maybe.

Image

Back in the countryside for a moment and nearing Nowosad.

Image

Nowosad.

Image

Image

Image

Image

A Koszalin suburb, or something.

Image

Image

Bobolice again. May I suggest using water? You'll find a lake just beyond those houses across the road.

Image

Szczecinek... Little Stettin, I suppose.

Image

Finally, that pipe we ord.... oh, he's gone.

Image

Is driving aimlessly around with a heavy goods vehicle a fineable offence?

Image

All futile peregrinations must one day come to an end. We've arrived in Piła.

Image

The beauty and the bleak.

Cheers!

Cheers! I guess with the :lol: you're not serious about the desktop, but in case you're half serious the source images on my computer are 1050x1400, not ideal I'm afraid. My widescreen monitor died a while back. But if you ever want something just let me know. The stuff on imgur is only 600x800 so useless.
I HOPE I can finally buy a new graphics card soon to replace my one from 2011. That might help as well... :roll: :P

One last set from West Poland: Piła to Gorzów Wielkopolski

Image

Exiting some part of Piła, which seemed to have various small outposts.

Image

2 room flat, nice and central for the theatres, etc. great views from rear windows.

Image

Smile and say "Strzelce Krajeńskie"!

Image

Nice small town atmosphere.

Image

Image

Attractive countryside outside Strzelce Krajeńskie en route to Gorzów Wielkopolski.

Image

Image

More lurking coppers.

Image

The internationally renowned giant Brie of Gorzów Wielkopolski.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Got a new skin and cargo...

Image

...and hit the road...

Image

...no further destinations...

Image

...just driving.

Image

Bye bye Poland for now... Next sets from Southern UK.

Cheers

I've got the snaps and the time, so starting the third stage of these "Heartland Journeys" through
the SCS core map with good ol' Promods right now. This time - the south of the UK.

Like Germany, the default UK seems to have a bit of a bad press, being one of the oldest and most primitive parts of the map.
I've never found it that bad, as it has a character of its own, vaguely English, and there's also the different scale
and driving on the other side of the cab and road to freshen things up a bit. Still, curious to check it out in detail
with Promods added in...

Trip No. 1: London to Dover. Time: Early November.

Image

Out on the town in London with Baba Yaga, an old Krone.

Image

Image

Image

Heading towards Croydon.

Image

Image

The Brown Tree of Croydon. And so it shall stand, till the True King doth return.

Image

On the way to Dover.

Image

This will be the last featured country with Grimes' early autumn mod. S. England is pretty mild, so
I guess I can "get away with it" but really it's late autumn now...

Image

Image

Image

Maidstone Depot or something along those lines.

Image

Rush hour in Dover.

Image

Image

Image

I like Dover. Dover's got sole.

Cheers

Southern UK journey No. 2: Canterbury via Portsmouth to London

I count myself fortunate that ETS2 + Promods has pretty much got my life covered as regards places where I've lived. It's just missing Singapore.
Have lived half my life in Brno, Czech Republic. Featured in the core map from SCS, I think, or at least in Going East. Grew up near Portsmouth UK, and spent 5 years at university and doing odd jobs in Canterbury. Today we're going to visit the latter two places. Just got to hope Promods reach Singapore in the next couple of years. It's going to happen, right? :P :roll: :lol:

Image

Starting from Canterbury, just a short hop from Dover.

Image

Back in Dover

Image

Careful. Doesn't rhyme with plover.

Image

Image

Cottage on the beach? Nice...I'll take it.

Image

Image

How to round up sheep the modern way, without a sheepdog.
1. Roll them in iron filings.
2. Switch on powerful electromagnet.

Image

Bit of country lyfe.

Image

No bluebirds today.

Image

Image

Assets already in game for refuse collection DLC.

Image

Nearing Portsmouth at sunset. I'll be home for tea, Mum!

Image

Portsmouth's space exploration bid well underway, funded by Emirates.

Image

Portsmouth has a ton of cool old maritime architecture and historic ships which sadly aren't represented here.
But I'm not complaing. Glad it's in there at all, so close to default Southampton. Same goes for the new Canterbury.
Great to see it in there - thanks Promods!

Image

New day, new cargo, and returning to London.

Image

Image

We're back!

Image

Giant imported Gorzów Wielkopolski Brie spotted near Central London.

Enough for today...

Cheers
