I very much like the second route and MOST of the first route. I think the Falkland Islands is part of the U.K. Spain is in Europe and I asked for a route in North, South, Central America and/or the Carribean. But yeah, good route.

The Falklands is still South America, like how French Polynesia is Oceania and not Europe.

Zack.:
The Falklands are geographically part of South America and officially governed by the UK, although Argentina has made / still is making claim to them. It would be the equivalent of using French Guiana or one of the dependencies of the Caribbean (Curacao, British Virgin Isles, etc.).

That said-

START: Mexico City, Mexico
Leg 1: Guadalajara, Mexico
Leg 2: Vinales, Cuba
Leg 3: Santiago de Cuba, Cuba
Leg 4: Willemstad, Curacao, NA
Leg 5: Arashi, Aruba, NA
Leg 6: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Leg 7: Colonia, Uruguay
Leg 8: Iquitos, Peru
Leg 9: Bogota, Colombia
Leg 10: Guatemala City, Guatemala
Leg 11: Antigua, Guatemala
Leg 12: Districto Federal, Mexico

I *was* going to try and shove in a US or Canada leg but as it turns out visa requirements for the US are awful lol, especially for a competition like TARLA which has teams from different nationalities.

--- Quote from: Zack. on August 24, 2016, 08:46:08 AM ---I figured it was time to bring back an old but fun challenge that some of you did, it seems:


--- Quote from: Zack. on October 10, 2015, 09:14:42 AM ---Also another new challenge, this time with difficulty levels  :conf:

1. Must start and end in US with 12-13 legs.
2. For each country chosen as well as the Finish Line, find the last season that hosted a leg for it on TAR and note the season number. The total for your season should be less than 110.

For example, TAR 28 would be: 3 (Mexico) + 0 (Colombia) + 24 (Switzerland) + 27 (France) + 0 (Armenia) + 0 (Georgia) + 23 (UAE) + 23 (Indonesia) + 27 (China) + 25 (Los Angeles) = 152, that could be dropped down with like...any better penultimate country / finish line.

Notes: a) only count places that had actual tasks or RIs (so Kenya is 0, notably), b) dependant territories should be separate from their home countries (Greenland, French Polynesia, etc) c) separate the individual countries of the UK when calculating (though they're all pretty high so...), d) this thread is spoiler free and thus goes up to TAR 28; any TAR 29 destination visited should have its 'old' score)

OR

Make any sort of feasible route with St. Helena  :funny:
